D-Link DES-3326SR Layer 3 Switch
Configuring a Switch Group for Stacking
In order to set up a stack of DES-3326SR Switches it is only necessary to designate a single Switch as Master if
all the Switches are using the default auto setting for the stacking mode configuration. Stacking mode may also
be disabled for standalone operation, however it is not necessary to disable stacking to use the Switch as a
standalone device. When the stacking mode is enabled, the options available for operation are
auto (
default),
master
and
slave
.
Figure 2 - 8. Stacking mode options when enabled
To configure the DES-3326SR to function in a stacked group as the Master, do the following:
1. At the CLI login prompt, enter
config stacking mode enable master
and press the Ente r
key.
2. You will be prompted to save the stacking mode configuration. Press the Y key (yes) to save the
stacking mode configuration.
Successful configuration will be verified by a Success message. It takes a few seconds for the change to be saved
and to take effect.
NOTICE: A Switch that has previously been operating as a standalone Switch
maintains a configuration file used only for standalone operation. Therefore if a
standalone Switch is later used in a stack, the standalone configuration file is NOT
loaded upon restart. New configuration settings must be configured for any Switch that
makes a transition form standalone operation to Master of a Switch stack.
