A switch stack is a set of up to nine stacking-capable switches that are connected
through their StackWise Plus ports. One switch controls the operation of the stack
and is called the stack master. The stack master and the other switches in the stack
are stack members. Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols present the entire switch stack
as a single entity to the network. Stacking is optional.
When switches are not stacked, each acts as a standalone switch. For general
concepts and procedures to manage switch stacks, see the switch software
configuration guide and command reference on Cisco.com.
The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 for Dell and the Cisco Catalyst Blade
Switch 3032 for Dell do not support switch stacks with other types of blades
switches as members. Combining the stacking-capable blade switches for Dell
with other types of blade switches in a switch stack might cause the switch to
work improperly or to fail.
Before you connect the switches in a stack, keep in mind these stacking
guidelines:
You should install the stack master switch and run the initial setup program
•
on that switch before you connect the StackWise Plus cables to other stack
members. We recommend that you assign the highest priority value to the
switch that you prefer to be the stack master. This ensures that the switch is
re-elected as stack master if a re-election occurs. As you add new switches to
the stack, they automatically become stack members.
