Stacking Mode - D-Link DES-3326SRM - Switch - Stackable Product Manual

Stacking Mode

NOTE: Stacking mode is configured using the CLI command config stacking mode.
To view stacking and related information about switches in the stack use the CLI
command show stacking.
The DES-3326S Switch can be used as a standalone Layer 3 Switch or it can be used in a stacked arrangement. There are two
hardware requirements to use the Switch in a stacked group:
1. The proper module(s) must be installed. A stacking module must be installed in order to use the Switch in a stacked
configuration. The DES-332GS stacking module is described on page 13.
2. Currently the firmware for the DES-3326S and DES-3326SR does not yet support stacking with the DGS-3312SR
Layer 3 Switch or the DES-3226S Layer 2 Switch. Furthermore, the two models (DES-3326S and DES-3326SR)
cannot be mixed in a stack as of this writing. Each stacked Switch group must be uniform in type, model and
firmware. In other words, the stack must consist entirely of DES-3326S, or entirely of DES-3326SR Layer 3
Switches.
If the Switches in the stacked group meet these criteria and are properly connected, they may be stacked in groups of up to
thirteen Switches.
Changes to a Switches stacking mode must be using the CLI interface. Please refer to the CLI Reference Manual or read
