Chapter 1 Stack Function Configuration
1.1 Stack Function Overview
A stack is a management domain including several Ethernet switches (one main switch
and some slave switches) connected through stack ports. These Ethernet switches
stacked together can act as one set of equipment and the user can manage them
through the main switch.
When several Ethernet switches are connected through stack ports, the user can
perform configurations on one switch and set the switch as the main switch in the stack.
A stack is created as follows. First, the user sets the optional IP address pool for the
stack, and enables the stack function. Then the system will automatically add the
switches, which are connected to the stack ports of the main switch, to the stack. The
main switch will distribute usable IP address to the slave switch automatically as the
switch joins the stack. If a new switch is connected to the main switch via stack port,
the system will automatically add the new switch to the stack after the stack is
established.
The connection of stack port automatically establishes the stack relationship. If a slave
stack port is disconnected, that slave switch will exit the stack automatically.
1.2 Configure Stack Function
The stack function configuration includes:
Configure IP address pool for the stack
Enable/Disable a stack
Switch to a slave switch view to perform the configuration
1.2.1 Configure IP Address Pool for the Stack
Before enabling a stack, the user shall set an optional IP address range for a stack first.
Then the main switch will automatically assign the slave switches with an IP address in
the range, when the slave switches are added to the stack.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
