Configuring A Switch Group For Stacking - D-Link DES-3326SRM - Switch - Stackable Product Manual

Configuring a Switch Group for Stacking

In order to set up a stack of DES-3326S Switches it is only necessary to designate a single Switch as Master if all the Switches
are using the default auto setting for the stacking mode configuration. Stacking mode may also be disabled for standalone
operation, however it is not necessary to disable stacking to use the Switch as a standalone device. When the stacking mode is
enabled, the options available for operation are auto(default), master and slave.
To configure the DES-3326S to function in a stacked group as the Master, do the following:
1. At the CLI login prompt, enter config stacking mode enable master and press the Enter key.
2. You will be prompted to save the stacking mode configuration. Press the Y key (yes) to save the stacking mode
configuration.
Successful configuration will be verified by a Success message. It takes a few seconds for the change to be saved and to take
effect.
NOTICE: A Switch that has previously been operating as a standalone Switch
maintains a configuration file used only for standalone operation. Therefore if a
standalone Switch is later used in a stack, the standalone configuration file is NOT
loaded upon restart. New configuration settings must be configured for any Switch that
makes a transition form standalone operation to Master of a Switch stack.
