Chapter 5 Managing Switch Stacks
Understanding Switch Stacks
If a switch in the stack is running the cryptographic (that is, supports encryption) version of the IP base
or IP services image software, we recommend that this switch be the stack master. Encryption features
are unavailable if the stack master is running the noncryptographic version of the IP base or IP services
image software.
The stack master contains the saved and running configuration files for the switch stack. The
configuration files include the system-level settings for the switch stack and the interface-level settings
for each stack member. Each stack member has a current copy of these files for back-up purposes.
You manage the switch stack through a single IP address. The IP address is a system-level setting and is
not specific to the stack master or to any other stack member. You can manage the stack through the same
IP address even if you remove the stack master or any other stack member from the stack.
You can use these methods to manage switch stacks:
•
Network Assistant (available on Cisco.com)
• Command-line interface (CLI) over a serial connection to the console port of any stack member
•
A network management application through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Note
Use SNMP to manage network features across the switch stack that are defined by supported
MIBs. The switch does not support MIBs to manage stacking-specific features such as stack
membership and election.
