Understanding Switch Stacks
A
switch stack
is a set of up to nine Catalyst 3750 switches connected through their StackWise ports.
One of the switches controls the operation of the stack and is called the
stack master
. The stack master
and the other switches in the stack are
stack members
. The stack members use the Cisco StackWise
technology to behave and work together as a unified system. Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols present the
entire switch stack as a single entity to the network.
The stack master is the single point of stack-wide management. From the stack master, you configure:
•
System-level (global) features that apply to all stack members
•
Interface-level features for each stack member
A switch stack is identified in the network by its
bridge ID
and, if the switch stack is operating as a
Layer 3 device, its router MAC address. The bridge ID and router MAC address are determined by the
MAC address of the stack master. Every stack member is uniquely identified by its own
stack member
number
.
All stack members are eligible stack masters. If the stack master becomes unavailable, the remaining
stack members participate in electing a new stack master from among themselves. A set of factors
determine which switch is elected the stack master. One of the factors is the
stack member priority value
.
The switch with the highest priority value becomes the stack master.
The system-level features supported on the stack master are supported on the entire switch stack.
