24 Port Stackable Managed Switch – User Guide Page 42
IP Stacking
The Switch can be web managed in either a standalone or stacking mode. In stacking mode a
group of Switches (8 maximum) can be managed using a single IP address from a web
browser, which simplifies the management task. One Switch in the Stack is configured as the
‘Master’ Switch and all other Switches are configured as a ‘Slave’. Switches belonging to the
same Stacking group must have the same IP Stacking Group ID.
Note: After configuring an IP Stacking Group. Slave Switches can only be managed through
the Master Switch. It is not possible to Web/Telnet/SNMP Manage a Slave Switch directly.
IP Stacking Configuration
1. Select the IP Configuration menu on each Switch and assign a unique IP address to
all Switches that are to be stacked (NOTE: Only the Master Switch’s IP address is
used on the LAN. All other IP addresses assigned to Slave Switches can be reused
for other devices on the LAN. Ensure that assigned IP addresses are in the same
subnet.
2. To enable one Switch as Master, select Misc Configuration from Switch Configuration
menu and modify:
IP Stacking Group ID – Choose a unique ID, between 0 - 65535, to identify the
stacking group
IP Stacking Mode – Select this Switch to be Master
IP Stacking System Information – Give the Switch a meaningful name that will be
displayed when web managed.
Save the configuration
3. The next task is to configure all other Switches as Slaves. Select Misc Configuration
on each Switch and modify:
IP Stacking Group ID – Configure each Switch with the same ID as the Master.
IP Stacking Mode – Select each Switch to be ‘Slave’
IP Stacking System Information – Give each Switch a meaningful name that will be
displayed when web managed.
Save the configuration
4. Now ensure all Switches are connected to the LAN and are in the same broadcast
domain (subnet). It is recommended that the Switches be directly connected to each
other.
