Chapter 4: Enhanced Stacking
Section I: Basic Features 78
This is explained in the procedure Setting a Switch’s Enhanced
Stacking Status on page 79.
Example For an example of the enhanced stacking feature, see Figure 18. This
example shows a mixture of AT-8400 and AT-8000 Series switches. With
this configuration, starting a local or remote management sessions on
either AT-8400 Series master switch, provides management access to
the AT-8000 Series switches as well.
Figure 18 Enhanced Stacking Example
The example shown in Figure 18 consists of a network of two subnets
interconnected by a router. Two switches in each subnet have been
selected as the master switches of their respective subnets, and each has
been assigned a unique IP address.
To manage the switches of a subnet, you start a local management
session or a remote Telnet management session with one of the master
switches in the subnet. Then, you have management access to all the AT-
8400 switches in the same subnet.
