Ethernet Switch 425-48T stacking support
With Release 3.6 software, the Ethernet Switch 425-48T can be stacked together
with the Ethernet Switch 425-24T up to eight units high. You can stack the units
using the Ethernet Switch 425 stack cables, which are available in 30 cm (1 foot)
and 1 m (3 foot) lengths. These cables can be ordered separately (order number
AL2018005 and AL2018006, respectively).
For more information about stacking the Ethernet Switch 425-48T and Ethernet
Switch 425-24T devices, see
“Stack operation” on page 87 .
Username and password enhancement
With Release 3.6 software, you can use the CLI to set usernames as well as
passwords for system access through the Console Interface, CLI, Telnet, and
Web-based management. The syntax for the new
username
command is:
username < username > < password > [ro|rw]
Note:
With Release 3.6 software, the Ethernet Switches 425-24T and
425-48T have stacking enabled by default, which means that ports 26
and 50, respectively, are disabled by default. This is because the cascade
port shares resources with port 26 on the Ethernet Switch 425-24T and
port 50 on the Ethernet Switch 425-48T. Either the cascade port can be
active, or port 26 or 50 can be active.
If you want to use port 26 or port 50 in standalone mode, disable
stacking and reboot the switch.
