Configuring Stacking
The
Stack Management
page allows network managers to either reset the entire stack or a specific device. Device configuration changes that are
not saved before the device is reset are not saved. A unique Unit ID (1-6) identifies a stack member. This unit number determines the interface-level
configuration that the stack member uses. (The configuration is saved and managed by the master unit.). The stack management has the following defaults:
•
The stacking mode is set to stackable.
•
The stacking cable is copper.
•
The stacking numbering method is set to auto-numbering.
To configure stacking:
1. Click
