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 6.
