Stack Configuration

Stacking Management can be implemented in a multi-storey building or even in a
geographically dispersed campus. Upon activating the stacking management functions,
the system administrator is able to access to other switches easily.
By selecting the switch from the Stack Access field, you can configure any of the
switches that are connected to the network.
NOTE
A stack can only accepts up to 4 switches, including the master switch. All
switches in a particular stack must be in the same IP subnet.
Upon clicking on the Stack Config option, the Stack Management GUI will appear. The
system will prompt you to manage the network through the master switch after enabling
it.
If you select Auto Select in the Stacking State field, the system will elect the switches
in connect in the stack with the smallest MAC address to be the master. The Master
switch election will start again when one of the following occurs:
•
The master switch is power down.
•
The master switch rebooted.
•
The master switch failed.
However, if you select either Master or Slave, the connected switch will be set as your
choice.
