Setting a Switch’s Enhanced Stacking Status

The enhanced stacking status of the switch can be master switch, slave
switch, or unavailable. Each status is described below:

❑ Master switch - A master switch of a stack can be used to manage

all the other switches in the stack. Once you establish a local or
remote management session with the Master switch, you can
access and manage all the switches in the stack. A master switch
must have a unique IP address. You can manually assign a master
switch an IP address or activate the BOOTP and DHCP services on
the switch.

❑ Slave switch - A slave switch can be remotely managed through a

master switch. It does not need an IP address or subnet mask. This
is the default setting for a switch.

❑ Unavailable - A switch with an unavailable stacking status cannot

be remotely managed through enhanced stacking. A switch with
this designation can be managed locally. To be managed
remotely, a switch with an unavailable stacking status must be
assigned a unique IP address.

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, you can use either a local or a Telnet
management session.

To adjust a switch’s enhanced stacking status, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 9 to select Enhanced Stacking. The

Enhanced Stacking menu is shown in Figure 10.
