Selecting a Switch in an Enhanced Stack

The first thing to do before you perform any procedure on a switch in an
enhanced stack is check to be sure you are performing it on the correct
switch. This is easy if you assigned system names to your switches. The
name of the switch being managed is displayed at the top of every
management menu.

When you start a web browser management session on the master
switch of a subnet, 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
enhanced 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 of the master switch, select Enhanced

Stacking.

Note

If the Home page does not have an Enhanced Stacking menu
selection, you are not addressing the master switch of the stack.
Either you accessed the switch through enhanced stacking or the
switch’s enhanced stacking status is slave or unavailable.

The master switch polls the network for all slave and master
switches in the enhanced stack and displays a list of the switches
in the Stacking Switches menu, shown in Figure 78.
