DES-3226S Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
Introduction 15
Now let us suppose you wish to add another Switch to this stack.
The new Switch has a MAC address 001122334450. After rebooting
all the Switches in the stack, the newly added Switch becomes the
Master Switch. The new automatically determined stack order
becomes
:
Stack Order
MAC Address
1(added Switch)
001122334450
2 (original Master)
001122334451
3 001122334452
4 001122334453
5 001122334454
6
001122334455
You can override the automatic stack order selection to use the
original Master Switch as the Master of the new stack (read
Switch
Stacking Information
in Chapter 6 for information on how to
override the stack order auto-detect function).
To override the automatic selection of the stack order you must
attach the serial cable to the newly added Switch (MAC address
001122334450). Now you can reconfigure the stack to place the
original Master Switch (MAC address 001122334451) again into the
number 1 position and the newly added Switch into the number 6
position.
After reconfiguration and restarting the Switches, the new stack
order becomes:
Stack Order
MAC Address
1(New Master)
001122334450
2 (orginal master)
001122334451
3 001122334452
4 001122334453
5 001122334454
6
001122334455
