Switching To Slave Switch View; Slave Switch Configuration - 3Com 4200G 12-Port Configuration Manual

To add a switch to a stack successfully, make sure the IP address pool contains at least one
unoccupied IP address.
Make sure the IP addresses in the IP address pool of a stack are successive so that they can be
assigned successively. For example, the IP addresses in an IP address pool with its start IP
address something like 223.255.255.254 are not successive. In this case, errors may occur when
adding a switch to the stack.
IP addresses in the IP address pool of a stack must be of the same network segment. For example,
the 1.1.255.254 is not a qualified start address for a stack IP address pool.
If the IP address of the management VLAN interface of the main switch (or a slave switch) is not of
the same network segment as that of the stack address pool, the main switch (or the slave switch)
automatically removes the existing IP address and picks a new one from the stack address pool as
its IP address.
Since both stack and cluster use the management VLAN and only one VLAN interface is available
on the Switch 4200G switch, stack and cluster must share the same management VLAN if you
want to configure stack within a cluster.

Switching to Slave Switch View

After creating a stack, you can switch to slave switch view from the main switch to configure slave
switches.
