Only ports that are physically present are displayed in the Dell OpenManage™ Switch Administrator and can be configured through the web management
system. Non-present ports are configured through the CLI or SNMP interfaces.
Rearranging Stacks
The stacking order can be changed by either removing a stack member or by rearranging the stacking cables. The order in which stack members are arranged
is established not by the physical order of the stack members but by the Unit ID assignment. The stack configuration is stored in stack master after the stack
order is changed, and the stack is reset.
If the PowerConnect 3324/3348 unit is removed or replaced in a stack, the stack recovers from the disconnection as follows:
If the stack is disconnected for more than two minutes, the entire stack no longer forwards network traffic. Every stack member reboots and waits until
l
the stack is reconnected. If the unit is not replaced, the master unit constantly polls the stack.
If the stack is reconnected in under two minutes, all units remain stacked and regain their connection to other units within five seconds. A new stack
l
member is connected to the master unit but initialized according to the master unit's configuration. If a configuration is not stored, the device is
configured with the default configuration.
Replacing Stack Members
If a stack member is replaced with a new device, the requested device ID is selected. In addition, the previous device configuration is applied to the inserted
stack member. If the new inserted device has either more or fewer ports than the previous device, the relevant port configuration is applied to the new stack
member. For example:
If a PowerConnect 3324 replaces a PowerConnect 3324, the new 24 10/100 BaseT ports receive the previous 24 10/100 BaseT port configuration.
l
Ports G1 and G2 receive the previous device's G1 and G2 port configuration.
If a PowerConnect 3324 replaces PowerConnect 3348, then ports 1-24 10/100 BaseT receive the previous device's configuration for ports 1-24. Ports
l
G1 and G2 receive the previous device's G1 and G2 port configuration.
PowerConnect 3324 Replaces PowerConnect 3348
If a PowerConnect 3348 replaces PowerConnect 3348, the new 48 10/100 BaseT ports receive the previous 48 10/100 BaseT port configuration. Ports
l
G1 and G2 receive the previous device's G1 and G2 port configuration.
If a PowerConnect 3348 replaces PowerConnect 3324, then ports 1-24 10/100 BaseT receive the previous device's configuration for ports 1-24.
l
Ports 25-48 receive the factory default port configuration. Ports G1 and G2 receive the previous device's G1 and G2 port configuration.
l
PowerConnect 3348 Replace PowerConnect 3324
