1.1.3 Creating a Stack

The following are the phases undergone when a stack is created.
Connect the intended main switch and slave switches through stack modules and
dedicated stack cables. (Refer to Quidway S3100 Series Ethernet Switches
Installation Manual for the information about stack modules and stack cables.)
Configure the IP address pool for the stack and enable the stack function. The
main switch then automatically adds the switches connected to its stack ports to
the stack.
When adding a switch joins in a stack, the main switch automatically assigns an IP
address to it.
The main switch automatically adds any switches that are newly connected to the
stack through their stack ports to the stack.
