CrossFire 8300/8301 Stacker Guide to Operation, DOC-7092 v. 1.0 2. Switch Stacker Operation
The parameters that must share values on all of the switches in the stack are the
inter-box parameters (listed on page 9). One of the boxes in the stack is
assigned as the source or provider of these shared parameters. The provider
switch is selected, as follows:
•
If all of the switches in the stack have the same configuration information
(the switches use only default values or have been configured to use the
same values), the switch that is plugged into the
lowest numbered port on
the stacker is selected as the provider of the inter-box parameters.
•
If the switches in the stack have different settings for the inter-box
parameters, the configuration must be changed so that the settings are the
same on all of the switches. To do this, you have to select which of the
switches in the stack should provide the inter-box parameters for the entire
stack. See “Provider of Inter-box Parameters” on page 10 for information on
how to do this.
