the stacked switches, via the AT-StackXG interfaces, and therefore do not
appear on the user network.
Initially the stack assigns the default VLAN tag ID of 4094 to the
management VLAN, and assigns an IP address from the subnet
192.168.255.0 / 28 to this VLAN as the management IP address. Once the
stack has formed, you can change both these settings. To change the
VLAN ID use the stack management vlan command. To change the
management IP address use the stack management subnet command.
Note however, that you must keep the 28 bit subnet mask, (/28 or
255.255.255.240). Also note that because the stack’s internal address
mapping tables will register the management VLAN ID and the
management IP address, these must be unique across the stack’s internal
and external network. To view the current settings for the stack
management VLAN ID and IP address, use the show stack command
Stack Member Identification
When a switch becomes a member of a VCS Stack it is assigned a Stack
Member-ID. Stack status information is displayed on the STACK LEDs
shown on the switch’s front panel shown in Figure 20. The following LEDs
indicate the switch’s status within the stack.
To observe the Stack Member-ID of the switch, you first run the show
stack indicator command
. Running this command causes the MASTER
LED (located within the STATUS LED column) to initially turn off. A flash
sequence then appears followed by a pause. The number of flashes within
each sequence is the same as the Stack Member-ID of the switch. For
example, if the switch had the Stack Member-ID 4, then the MASTER LED
would flash 4 times followed by a pause, then 4 times again. Note that the
MSTR LED that is located within the STACK LED column, does not
perform this function.
