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.
