Selecting a Switch in an Enhanced Stack

Before you perform any procedure on a switch in an enhanced stack,
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 AT-S63 management software displays the name of the switch
being managed at the top of every management menu.

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 affect 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 option,
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:
