Configuring A Switch Group For Stacking - D-Link DGS-3212SR User Manual

Configuring a Switch Group for Stacking

The Switch Stacking CLI commands are the same for the DGS-3212SR, and the DES-3226S/SR. Follow the
instructions below to first configure the slave units, and then to configure the DGS-3212SR as the designated
Master.
For the DES-3226S/SR, the stacking configuration as a Master or Slave switch is no longer necessary. The DGS-
3212SR can communicate with a DES-3226S/SR regardless of its stacking configuration. It is recommended that
you configure all DES-3226S/SR switches in a switch stack in the auto stacking mode to reduce potential
confusion.
To configure the DES-3226S/SR to function in a stacked group as a slave, do the following:
1. At the CLI login prompt, enter config stacking mode enable auto and press the Enter key.
2. Successful configuration will be verified by a Success message. It takes a few seconds for the change to
take effect. See the example below for the DES-3226S.
3. Be sure to save the configuration change using the CLI command save.
DES-3226S:4#config stacking mode enable auto
Command: config stacking mode enable auto
Success.
DES-3226S:4#............
DES-3226S:4#
To configure the DGS-3212SR to function in a stacked group as the Master, do the following:
1. At the CLI login prompt, enter config stacking mode enable and press the Enter key.
2. Successful configuration will be verified by a Success message. It takes a few seconds for the change to
take effect. See the example below for the DGS-3212SR.
3. Be sure to save the configuration change using the CLI command save.

NOTICE:
The DGS-3212SR can be used to manage a switch stack consisting of
only DES-3226S or DES-3226SR switches. Stacking of DGS-3212SR switches is
not supported at this time.
