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 AT-8024, AT-8024GB. and AT-8026FC Fast Ethernet
Switches in a subnet. Once you have established a local or remote
management session with the Master switch, you can access and
manage all the switches in the subnet.
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.
❑ Unavailable - A switch with an unavailable stacking status cannot
be remotely managed through a master switch. 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
The default setting for a switch is Slave.
To adjust a switch’s enhanced stacking status, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 9 to select Enhanced Stacking.
