Chapter 3: Enhanced Stacking
82 Section I: Basic Operations
Setting a Switch’s Enhanced Stacking Status
The enhanced stacking status of the switch can be master, slave, or
unavailable. Each status is described below:
 Master switch - The master switch is your entry point for managing the
switches of a stack. Starting a local or remote management session on
a master switch gives you management access to all the switches in
the stack.
 Slave switch - A slave switch can be remotely managed through a
master switch or independently, such as through a local session.
 Unavailable - A switch with an unavailable stacking status is not part of
an enhanced stack must be managed independently, either locally or
remotely.
Note
The default setting for a switch is slave.
Note
You cannot change the stacking status of a switch through
enhanced stacking. You must access the switch directly, either
through a local or remote session, to change its stacking status.
To adjust a switch’s enhanced stacking status, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 8 to select Enhanced Stacking. The
Enhanced Stacking menu is shown in Figure 23.
Figure 23. Enhanced Stacking Menu
The menu displays the current status of the switch at the end of
selection “1 - Switch State.” For example, the switch’s current status in
the figure above is master.
