Switching To Slave Switch View; Slave Switch Configuration; Displaying And Debugging A Stack - H3C S5100-SI Operation Manual

Make sure the IP addresses in the IP address pool of a stack are successive so that they can be
assigned successively. For example, the IP addresses in an IP address pool with its start IP
address something like 223.255.255.254 are not successive. In this case, errors may occur when
adding a switch to the stack.
IP addresses in the IP address pool of a stack must be of the same network segment. For example,
the 1.1.255.254 is not a qualified start address for a stack IP address pool.
If the IP address of the management VLAN interface of the main switch (or a slave switch) is not of
the same network segment as that of the stack address pool, the main switch (or the slave switch)
automatically removes the existing IP address and picks a new one from the stack address pool as
its IP address.
Since both stack and cluster use the management VLAN and only one VLAN interface is available
on the S5100-EI switch, stack and cluster must share the same management VLAN if you want to
configure stack within a cluster.

Switching to Slave Switch View

After creating a stack, you can switch to slave switch view from the main switch to configure slave
switches.

Slave Switch Configuration

Just make sure the slave switch is connected to the main switch through the stack ports. No
configuration is needed.

Displaying and Debugging a Stack

Use the display command to display the information about a stack. The display command can be
executed in any view.

Number: Number of the slave switch to
switch to.
This command can be used to switch from
user view of the main switch to user view of
a slave switch. The user level remains the
same while switching.
Description
You can quit slave switch view only by
executing this command in user view of
a slave switch.
