Selecting a Switch in an Enhanced Stack
The first thing that you should do before you perform any procedure on a
switch in an enhanced stack is check to be sure that you are performing it
on the correct switch. If you assigned system names to your switches,
identifying your switches is easy. The management software displays the
name of the switch being managed at the top of every management
window.
When you start a web browser management session on the master switch
of the enhanced stack, you are by default addressing that particular
switch. The management tasks that you perform effect only the master
switch.
To manage a slave switch or another master switch in the same stack, you
need to select it from the management software.
To select a switch to manage in an enhanced stack, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Home Page, select Enhanced Stacking.
Note
If the Home page does not have an Enhanced Stacking menu
selection, the switch’s enhanced stacking status is either slave or
unavailable. For instructions on how to change a switch’s stacking
status, refer to the previous procedure.
The master switch polls the network for the slave and master
enhanced stacking switches in the enhanced stack and displays a list
of the switches in the Enhanced Stacking page. An example is shown
in Figure 10.
