Configuring A Switch Group For Stacking - D-Link DGS-3312SR Release 3.5 Manual

Configuring a Switch Group for Stacking

Follow the instructions below to first configure the slave units, and then to configure the DGS-3312SR as the designated
Master.
For the DES-3226S and DES-3250TG, the stacking configuration as a Master or Slave Switch is no longer necessary. The
DGS-3312SR can communicate with these slave switches regardless of its stacking configuration. It is recommended that
you configure all slave Switches in a Switch stack in the auto stacking mode to reduce the potential for problems. The
default stacking mode configuration for the DES-3226S and DES-3250TG is auto.
To configure the DES-3226S or DES-3250TG to function in a stacked group as a slave, do the following:
1. At the CLI login prompt, enter config stacking mode enable auto 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.
3. Successful configuration will be verified by a Success message. It takes a few seconds for the change to take
effect and be saved. See the example below for the DES-3226S.
DES-3226S:4#config stacking mode enable auto
Command: config stacking mode enable auto
Do you want to save the new system configuration to NV-RAM now?(y/n)
Saving all configurations to NV-RAM... Done.
Success.
DES-3226S:4#............
The default settings for the DGS-3312SR has the stacking mode enabled. However if the stacking mode has been disabled
it will be necessary to enable it. Follow the instructions below to change the stacking mode to enable. If you do not know
what the stacking mode setting currently is, use the command show stacking mode.
To enable stacking in the DGS-3312SR, do the following:
1. At the CLI login prompt, enter config stacking mode enable and press the Enter key.
2. You will be prompted to save the stacking mode configuration. If you save the new stacking mode by
pressing the Y key, the settings will be saved and the Switch will restart.
3. Press the Y key (yes) to save the stacking mode configuration and restart the Switch.

NOTICE:
The DGS-3312SR can be used to manage a Switch stack consisting of
only DES-3226S and/or DES-3250TG Switches.
