Stack Initialization Overview - Enterasys SecureStack C2 C2G124-24 Hardware Installation Manual

RPS Power
If you are installing an optional redundant power system (C2RPS‐SYS), refer to the
installation instructions supplied with the RPS. The switch is connected to a C2RPS‐PSM
using a C2RPS‐PSM Cable.
Caution: The C2G124-24, C2G124-48, and C2H124-48 are not PoE-compliant devices.
Do not connect a SecureStack C2 PoE Redundant Power Supply (C2RPS-POE) to the
DC power connector. Otherwise damage to the device may result.
Precaución: Los dispositivos C2G124-24, C2G124-48, y C2H124-48 no cumplen con el
estándar PoE (power over ethernet). No conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS)
SecureStack C2 PoE (C2RPS-POE) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo
puede dañarse.
If you are installing the switch as a standalone device, proceed to "Connecting to Console
Port for Local Management" on page 3‐18. If you are installing switches in a stack
configuration, apply power to each switch in order, according to the procedure you use in
"Configuring Switches in a Stack" on page 3‐12.

Stack Initialization Overview

When you install and connect all the high‐speed stacking cables to the switches in the
stack before applying power to the switches, the following occurs:
• The switch that will manage (Manager) the stack is automatically established with all
other switches established as Member switches in the stack. When the switches
complete their initializations, one of the switches in the stack will illuminate its
Manager LED, indicating that it is the stack Manager. The Manager LED on each
Member switch will be off.
• The hierarchy of the switches that will function as backup Manager is also determined
in case the current Manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from
the stack.
• The Console port on each Member switch is deactivated. Only the Console port on the
Manager switch is active for out‐of band configuration to set the IP address, password
and other configuration settings.
Once you know which switch is the Manager, proceed to "Connecting to Console Port for
Local Management" on page 3‐18.
