Switch Stack Management Connectivity - Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Software Configuration Manual

Understanding Switch Stacks
If a stack member fails and you replace with it with an identical model, the replacement switch
automatically uses the same interface-specific configuration as the failed switch. Hence, you do not need
to reconfigure the interface settings. The replacement switch must have the same stack member number
as the failed switch. For information about the benefits of provisioning a switch stack, see the
Stack Offline Configuration" section on page
You back up and restore the stack configuration in the same way as you would for a standalone switch
configuration. For more information about file systems and configuration files, see
"Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images."

Switch Stack Management Connectivity

You manage the switch stack and the stack member interfaces through the stack master. You can use the
CLI, SNMP, Network Assistant, and CiscoWorks network management applications. You cannot manage
stack members on an individual switch basis.
