SET SWITCH STACKMODE

Syntax

set switch stackmode=master|slave|unavailable

Parameter

stackmode

Specifies the enhanced stacking mode of the switch.
Possible settings 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.To view the
current enhanced stacking status of a switch, use SHOW SWITCH on
page 62.

Note

You cannot change the stacking status of a switch accessed through
enhanced stacking. To change the stacking status of a switch that
does not have an IP address or subnet mask, such as a slave switch,
you must use a local management session. 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.
