Establishing a Stack
An administrator can establish a stack as follows:
z
Configure a private IP address pool for a stack and create the stack on the network device which is
desired to be the master device.
z
Configure ports between the stack devices as stack ports.
z
The master device automatically adds the slave devices into the stack, and assigns a number for
each stack member.

The administrator can log in to any slave device from the master device of the stack, and perform
configurations for the slave device.
