Managing Switch Stacks 20-9

v1.0, May 2008

Switch Stack Management Connectivity

You manage the switch stack and the stack member interfaces through the stack master. You can

use the web interface, the CLI, and SNMP. You cannot manage stack members on an individual

switch basis.

Connectivity to the Switch Stack Through Console Ports

You can connect to the stack master through the console port of the stack master only.

Connectivity to the Switch Stack Through Telnet

You can connect to the stack master by using a Telnet connection to the IP address of the stack.

Switch Stack Configuration Scenarios

Table 20-2 provides switch stack configuration scenarios. Most of the scenarios assume at least

two switches are connected through their stacking ports.

Table 20-2. Switch stack configuration scenarios

Scenario Result

Stack master election specifically determined by

existing stack masters

Note: This is not recommended.

• Connect two powered-on switch stacks through the

stacking ports.

Only one of the two stack masters becomes the new

stack master. None of the other stack members

become the stack master.

Stack master election specifically determined by the

stack member priority value

• Connect two switches through their stacking ports.

•Use the switch stack-member-number priority

new-priority-number global configuration command

to set one stack member to a higher member

priority value.

• Restart both stack members at the same time.

The stack member with the higher priority value is

elected stack master.
