Adding a New Switch to an Existing Stack
Use
the
following
procedure
to
install
a
new
switch
to
an
existing
stack
configuration.
This
procedure
assumes
that
the
new
switch
being
added
has
a
clean
configuration
from
manufacturing
and
is
running
the
same
firmware
image
version
as
other
switches
in
the
stack.
1.
Ensure
that
power
is
off
on
the
new
switch
being
installed.
2.
Use
one
of
the
following
methods
to
complete
the
stack
cable
connections:
–
If
the
running
stack
uses
a
daisy
chain
topology,
make
the
stack
cable
connections
from
the
bottom
of
the
stack
to
the
new
switch
(that
is,
STACK
DOWN
port
from
the
bottom
switch
of
the
running
stack
to
the
STACK
UP
port
on
the
new
switch).
–
If
the
running
stack
uses
a
ring
stack
topology,
break
the
ring
and
make
the
stack
cable
connections
to
the
new
switch
to
close
the
ring.
3.
Apply
power
to
the
new
switch.
Connecting AC and RPS-SYS Power
AC Power
To
connect
a
switch
to
the
AC
power
source,
refer
to
Figure 3
‐
8
and
proceed
as
follows:
1.
Plug
the
power
cord
into
the
switch
AC
power
connector.
2.
Plug
the
other
end
of
the
power
cord
into
a
dedicated
grounded
AC
outlet
(not
shown).
The
type
of
power
outlet
and
power
cord
are
country
‐
dependent.
Important Considerations About Using Clear Config in a Stack
When using the
clear config
command (as described in the
SecureStack B2 Configuration Guide
)
to clear configuration parameters in a stack, it is important to remember the following:
• Use
clear config
to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command
WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack.
• Use
clear config all
when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch
IDs and switch priority values.
Note:
The power supply in the switch has automatic voltage sensing that allows
connection to power sources ranging from 100 to 240 VAC.
Note:
If you plan to connect all the switches quickly to allow automatic Manager selection,
wait until all switches are fully operational before proceeding to the next step.
If you plan to power up each switch and allow it to become fully operational before
applying power to the next switch, proceed to the next step.
