Stack Configuration Example - HP 5500 EI Series Configuration Manual

Stack configuration example

Network requirements
Create a stack on Switch A for Switch B, Switch C, and Switch D so an administrator can access them
from Switch A for easy management, as shown in
Figure 62 Network diagram
Stack
GE1/0/1
Switch C: Member switch
Configuration procedure
1. Configure the master device:
# Configure a private IP address pool for the stack on Switch A.
<SwitchA> system-view
[SwitchA] stack ip-pool 192.168.1.1 24
# Configure port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 as a stack port on Switch A.
[SwitchA] stack stack-port 1 port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1
# Configure switch A as the master switch.
[SwitchA] stack role master
2. Configure the member switches
# On Switch B, configure local ports GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, and
GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 as stack ports.
<SwitchB> system-view
[SwitchB] stack stack-port 3 port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 GigabitEthernet 1/0/2
GigabitEthernet 1/0/3
# On Switch C, configure local port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 as a stack port.
<SwitchC> system-view
[SwitchC] stack stack-port 1 port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1
# On Switch D, configure local port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 as a stack port.
<SwitchD> system-view
[SwitchD] stack stack-port 1 port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1
3. Verify the configuration on Switch A:
<stack_0.SwitchA> display stack members
Switch A: Master switch
GE1/0/1
