Managing Stacking

All stack members are accessed through a single IP address through which the stack is managed.
Stacks are managed using:
Web-based Interface
SNMP Management Station
The system supports up to six stacking members per stack.
During the Stacking setup, one device is selected as the Stacking Master. All other devices are
named as stack members, and assigned a unique Unit ID. The Stack Master provides a single point
of control and management and a single interface in which to control and manage the stack. The
device software is downloaded separately for each of the stack members. All units in the stack
must be running the same software version. The Stacking Master maintains switch stacking and
configuration. The Stacking Master detects and reconfigures the ports with minimal operational
impact in the event of:
Unit Failure
Inter-unit Stacking Link Failure
Unit Insertion
Removal of a Stacking Unit

Operation Modes

A switch can operate in one of the following modes:
Stacking Master – Manages the stacking configuration for all stack members.
Secondary Master – Operates as a backup to the Stacking Master. If the Stacking Master is no
longer operating, the Secondary Master takes over the stack management.
