Management Port Cabling
Connect the master, backup, and all other master-capable switches to your management network using
the Ethernet management port on the rear panel of each switch. If you choose the default redundancy
setup, only slots 1 and 2 are allowed to become master. You may connect all switch management ports
in the stack if you choose to do so. There is an alternate IP address configuration that will allow you to
directly log into an individual switch in the stack through its management port.
Stacking Port LEDs
Each stacking port has an LED. The LED is steady green if the link is OK, blinking green if traffic is
present, and off if no signal is present.
Stack Number Indicator LEDs
The Stack Number Indicator LED shows the slot number of the switch in the stack. The top half of the
number blinks if the switch is the master, and the bottom half blinks if it is the backup. If the LED is
steadily lit, the switch is a standby. If the LED is off the switch is not configured as a member of a stack.
