Managing a stack through one IP address

A Ruckus stack can be managed through a single IP address. You can manage the stack using this IP address even if you remove
the active controller or any member from the stack. You can also connect to the active controller through Telnet or SSH using this
address. All management functions, such as SNMP, use this IP address to acquire MIB information and other management data.

Enabling or disabling stacking mode

When a unit is stack-enabled or joins a stack either actively or passively, it reserves priority queue 7 for stacking traffic control,
assigns buffers for the stacking ports, and configures the first two 10-Gbps ports as stacking ports.
NOTE
Designated stacking ports cannot contain any configuration information, such as VLAN membership. If configuration
information exists, stack enable will fail. You must remove all configuration information from the port and re-issue the
stack enable command.
To enable stacking mode on a new unit before you add it to the stack, enter the following command.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# stack enable
Enable stacking. This unit actively participates in stacking
To see the configuration of the stack at any time, enter the show running-config command. Refer to
