Stacking Architecture

Stacking allows the user to manage the multiple CD-ETIA
blades in one system as one switch, instead of individual
units and IP addresses. For example, a set of three blades
would appear to the UI as a 24 port switch instead of three
8-port switches. Stacking works by assigning a Master
Management Card which provides all the GUI information
for all the blades in the same stack. The CD-CP00 assigns
the Master by issuing an IP address via PAW/PRW. All other
CD-ETIA blades detected in the system are assigned as
Slave blades.
A single system can have up to 12 CD-ETIA blades per
system. However, only three CD-ETIA blades can be
grouped together forming a single 20 port switch. When
more than three CD-ETIA blades are present in a system,
the additional units do not have any software feature
specified in this document. They behave as an unmanaged
Gigabit Ethernet switch.
The three CD-ETIA blades can be categorized into one
Main board, with two Add-on boards.
