ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches

The following table provides switch stack configuration scenarios. Most of the scenarios

assume at least two switches are connected through their stacking ports.

Table 1. Switch Stack Master Scenarios

Scenario Action 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 stack masters

becomes the new stack master

No 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 global configuration

command switch

stack-member-number priority

new-priority-number to set a

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

Stack master election specifically

determined by the MAC address.

Assuming that both stack members

have the same priority value and

firmware image, restart both stack

members at the same time.

The stack member with the higher

MAC address is elected stack

master

Add a stack member. • Power off the new switch

• Through their stacking ports, connect

the new switch to a powered-on

switch stack.

• Power on the new switch.

The stack master is retained. The

new switch is added to the switch

stack.

Stack master failure. Remove (or power off) the stack

master

One of the remaining stack

members becomes the new stack

master. All other members in the

stack remain stack members and

do not reboot.

Preconfigure a Switch

You can preconfigure (supply a configuration to) a new switch before it joins the switch stack.

You can specify the stack member number, the switch type, and the interfaces associated

with a switch that is not currently part of the stack.

Note: If you are replacing a switch with the same model in the same

position in the stack, you do not need to preconfigure it. The new

switch assumes the same configuration as the previous switch.
