Main Switch Configuration; Configuring The Ip Address Pool And Creating The Stack - H3C S3100 8C SI Operation Manual

Operation Manual – Stack-Cluster
H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches
When adding a switch joins in a stack, the main switch automatically assigns an IP
address to it.
The main switch automatically adds any switches that are newly connected to the
stack through their stack ports to the stack.

1.2 Main Switch Configuration

The main switch configuration includes:

Configuring the IP Address Pool and Creating the Stack

Maintaining Slave Switches
1.2.1 Configuring the IP Address Pool and Creating the Stack
Follow these steps to configure the IP address pool and creating the stack:
Operation
Enter system view
Configure an IP
address pool for a
stack
Create a stack
Note:
Remove the IP address configured for the existing Layer 3 interface first if you want to
cancel the stack-related configuration, otherwise, IP address conflicts may occur.
As for the stack-related configurations performed on a main switch, note that:
After a stack is created, the main switch automatically adds the switches
connected to its stack ports to the stack.
If a stack port connection is disconnected, the corresponding slave switch quits
the stack automatically.
The IP address pool of an existing stack cannot be modified.
To add a switch to a stack successfully, make sure the IP address pool contains at
least one unoccupied IP address.
