Setting a Switch’s Enhanced Stacking Status
The enhanced stacking status of the switch can be master switch, slave
switch, or unavailable. Each status is described below:
ˆ Master switch - A master switch of a stack allows you to easily
transition to the other switches in the stack during a management
session. You can transition to any of the other switches in the stack
after you have established a local or remote management session with
a master switch.
ˆ Slave switch - A slave switch can be remotely managed through a
master switch or independently, such as through a local session.
ˆ Unavailable - A switch with an unavailable stacking status cannot be
managed from a master switch of an enhanced stack. A switch with
this designation can be managed locally. It can also be managed
remotely if you assign a routing interface to the VLAN on the switch
where the remote management station is a member and designate it
as the local interface.
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 16.
