Switching To Slave Switch View - H3C S5100-SI Series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – Stack-Cluster
H3C S5100-SI/EI Series Ethernet Switches
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.
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.

1.2.2 Switching to Slave Switch View

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

You can quit slave switch view after slave switch configuration.
Command
stacking number
1-3
Description
Required
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.
