In a daisy chain configuration the cable that would return the connection back to the first switch in a closed loop is not installed. The advantage of the closed loop is redundancy, this configuration eliminates any single point of failure. Up to eight switches can be stacked together and connected by standard UTP Category 5 or better cables. The stacking cables allow the entire stack to operate with a single IP address.

Connecting Stacking Cables Figure 3‐8 shows an example of a four‐high stack connected in a closed loop configuration. All STACK DOWN and STACK UP connectors are used in the installation. The stacking cable connections are from the STACK DOWN connector of one switch to the STACK UP connector of the next switch up in the stack. A stacking cable connection from the STACK DOWN connector of the switch at the top of the stack to the STACK UP connector at the bottom of the stack closes the loop. In a daisy chain configuration, one cable connection is not made.

Page 41: Configuring Switches In A Stack
Configuring Switches in a Stack The information in the following sections is important to understand A2 switch operation and installations in a stack installation. About SecureStack A2 Switch Operation in a Stack The SecureStack A2 products are stackable switches that can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network needs. These switches provide a management platform and uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight A2 switches. Once installed in a stack, the switches behave and perform as a single switch. As such, you can start with a single switch and add more switches as your network expands. You can also mix different products in the same family in a single stack to provide a desired combination of port types and functions to match the requirements of individual applications. In all cases, a stack of switches performs as one large product, and is managed as a single network entity. When switches are installed and connected as described back in “Connecting Stacking Cables” on page 3‐11, the following occurs during initialization: • The switch that will manage the stack is automatically established and is referred to as the Manager switch. • All other switches are established as Member switches in the stack. • The hierarchy of the switches that will assume the function of backup manager is also determined in case the current manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from the stack. • The Console port on the manager switch remains active for out‐of‐band (local) switch management, but the Console port on each member switch is deactivated. This enables you to set the IP address and system password using a single Console port. ... -
Page 42: Recommended Procedures For New And Existing Stacks
The following procedures assume that all switches have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When adding a new switch to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new switch is using the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack. -
Page 43: Adding A New Switch To An Existing Stack
• Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack. • Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values. -

Page 47: Stack Initialization Overview
Stack Initialization Overview When you install and connect all the stacking cables to the switches in the stack before applying power to the switches, the following occurs: • The switch that will manage (Manager) the stack is automatically established with all other switches established as Member switches in the stack. When the switches complete their initializations, one of the switches in the stack will illuminate its Manager LED, indicating that it is the stack Manager. The Manager LED on each Member switch will be off. • The hierarchy of the switches that will function as backup Manager is also determined in case the current Manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from the stack. • The Console port on each Member switch will provide only the unit number. Only the Console port on the Manager switch is active and provide a CLI for out‐of band configuration to set the IP address, password, and other settings. Once you know which switch is the Manager, proceed to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐20. Connecting AC and RPS-SYS Power SecureStack A2 Installation Guide 3-19... -
Page 48: Connecting To Console Port For Local Management
Note: When switches are connected in a stack configuration and all stacking cables are connected before powering up the switches, one switch in the stack will be automatically designated as the Manager of the stack and its Console port will remain active.
