Stack Troubleshooting

If a stack fails to initialize or function, first check the following items:

Check that all stacking cables are properly connected.

Check if any stacking cables appear damaged.

Check that only one Stack Master button is pressed in.

Check that all switches in the stack are powered on.

After checking all items, reboot all the switches in the stack.

The switches allow you to configure ring- or line-topology stacking. When 
using ring-topology stacking configuration and a switch fails, or a stacking 
cable is disconnected, the entire stack reboots and resumes normal 
operation using line-topology stacking through the remaining stack 
connections. Also, any changes to the stack including powering down a 
unit or inserting a unit causes the stack to reboot.
