CLI/ Telnet/ Web Interface
You can use the CLI / WEB / SNMP to synchronize the firmware that is stored in the Master
Switch to a member switch.
Insertion and Removal of Switches
You can insert and remove switches to/from the current stack without cycling the power. The entire
network may be affected when a topology change occurs, as a stack reconfiguration will take place.
A new Master Switch will not be re-elected, unless the Master Switch was removed from the stack.
Stack reconfiguration takes a maximum of two minutes in a stack of twelve switches, less time for
smaller stacks.
Operating as Standalone Switch
If a switch cannot detect a stacking partner on a port enabled for stacking, the switch will operate
as a standalone switch. If a stacking partner is detected, the switch will always operate in stacking
mode.
Stack ID Renumbering
You can manually assign Stack IDs to a switch. A switch can only be assigned a Stack ID that has
not already been assigned to another switch in the stack. Any configuration information that was
saved for the new Stack ID is applied to the switch that is taking that Stack ID.
User Controls
Use the following CLI commands to control this feature. See the CLI Reference Manual for details
on the syntax of each command.
