Factory Default Units

A unit in factory default mode has the following attributes:

•

Unit ID 

= 0. This setting indicates that the unit is in autonumbering mode.

•

Switch Operation Mode

 = Stack. 

The combination of these two settings directs the system to automatically 
configure the unit as a new stack member.

NOTE:

A unit in stand-alone mode also displays Unit ID = 0.

Unit ID Validity Rules

Each member unit of a stack has a Unit ID that satisfies two conditions:

•

A Unit ID is a number from 1 to 8.

•

A Unit ID is unique within the stack.

Automatic Unit ID Assignment

Automatic Unit ID assignment is applied to Stack mode units with Unit ID of 0. This 
includes factory default units as well as units whose Unit IDs are reset to 0 as a 
result of Unit ID Conflict Resolution.

The Automatic Unit ID Assignment for units with Unit ID=0 proceeds as follows:

•

A Unit ID is assigned from the available valid, unique Unit IDs, starting with the 
lowest available Unit ID.

•

If two or more units are queued to receive Unit IDs, the units are assigned Unit 
IDs starting with the unit with the lowest MAC address.

Manual Unit ID Assignment

The system administrator can assign a specific, valid Unit ID to a stack member 
manually. A Unit ID that is manually assigned is not subject to automatic numbering. 

Manual numbering for stacking members is beneficial for providing a fast and easy 
way of replacing stacking members. After a stack is initialized in factory default, 
automatic numbering mode, the Unit IDs can be manually set to the same Unit IDs 
assigned by automatic numbering. The system administrator can then configure 
the switch ports. The port configuration of the switch is automatically stored in the 
Stacking Master and Backup Master. If a stacking member must be replaced, an 
identical replacement stacking member can be hot swapped into the running 
stack. The hot swap can occur if the new stacking member is manually in the same
