SET SWITCH STACKMODE
Syntax
set switch stackmode=master|slave|unavailable
Parameter
stackmode Specifies the enhanced stacking mode of the switch.
The options are:
master Specifies the switch’s stacking mode
as master. A master switch must be
assigned an IP address and subnet
mask.
slave Specifies the switch’s stacking mode
as slave. A slave does not need an
IP address. This is the default setting
for a switch.
unavailable Specifies the switch’s stacking mode
as unavailable. A switch with this
status cannot be managed from an
enhanced stack. It can be managed
locally through its RS-232 terminal
port or remotely if it is assigned an IP
address and subnet mask.
Description
This command sets a switch’s enhanced stacking status.
Note
To determine the master or slave status of a switch, use “SHOW
SWITCH” on page 62.
Note
You cannot change the stacking status of a switch through
enhanced stacking. If a switch does not have an IP address or
subnet mask, such as a slave switch, you must use a local
management session to change its stacking status. If the switch has
an IP address and subnet mask, such as a master switch, you can
use either a local or a Telnet management session to change its
stacking status.
