Stacking and the Management Software

If you are using the stacking feature of the AT-8350GB switch, the first
thing that you should do before you perform any of the procedures in
this guide is check to be sure that you are configuring the correct AT-
8350GB switch in the stack. The Stack ID of the switch being managed is
displayed at the top of most of the management menus.

When you start a management session on the master switch, you are by
default addressing that particular switch. The management tasks that
you perform effect only the master switch unless you select another
switch in the stack using the management software.

Most of the menus and pages of the management software contain a
Select Stack ID option that allows you to configure the parameters on
another switch in your switch stack. The method of implementing the
switch parameters varies for each feature of the management software.
Each chapter of this manual contains instructions on how to apply the
featured switch settings to another switch in your stack.
