Exchanging Stacking Members
If a stack member with the same Unit ID replaces an existing Unit ID with the same Unit ID, the
previous device configuration is applied to the inserted stack member. If the new inserted device
has either more than or less ports than the previous device, the relevant port configuration is
applied to the new stack member.
Switching the Stacking Master
The Secondary Master replaces the Stacking Master if one of the following events occur:
•
The Stacking Master fails or is removed from the stack.
•
Links from the Stacking Master to the stacking members fails.
•
A soft switchover is performed via the web interface.
Switching between the Stacking Master and the Secondary Master results in a limited service loss.
Any dynamic tables are relearned if a failure occurs. The running configuration file is
synchronized between Stacking Master and the Secondary Master and continues running on the
Secondary Master.
Configuring Stacking
The Stack Management Page page allows network managers to either reset the entire stack or a
specific device. Device configuration changes that are not saved before the device is reset are not
saved. A unique Unit ID (1-6) identifies a stack member. This unit number determines the
interface-level configuration that the stack member uses. (The configuration is saved and managed
by the master unit.). The stack management default sets the stacking numbering method to auto-
numbering.
