Stacking Dell Networking Switches: N4032, N4032F, N4064, N4064F
2.3.2
Web interface method
The example below shows how to add a stack member to an existing stack using the Web user interface.
Before cabling an additional member to a stack, perform the steps below to setup the switch to join the
stack. Once configured, continue to follow the instructions for cabling to complete the task. This works
best when adding one stack member at a time. If multiple new members are to be added, follow these
directions and complete the install of one before going to the next. Complete these steps again for each
remaining switch to be added.
Selecting System > Stack Management > Stack Summary shows the current configuration before adding a
new member.
Note
: The example given below allows a new member to be added without preconfiguring the existing
stack, though each new member itself needs to be configured. To preconfigure a stack before
connecting the new stack member, consult the
User Guide
under
Preconfiguring a Stack Member
.
On the first new member switch to be added to the stack, select System > Stack Management > Stack Port
Summary from the main navigation menu. In this example, two 40G QSFP+ interfaces F01/0/1 and
F01/0/2 will be used for stacking, though any of the interfaces shown may be used.
Be sure to configure enough stack ports to connect to two other switches if using a ring topology stack,
to allow connections to switches in both directions.
