D-Link DES-3326SR Layer 3 Switch
Connecting Stacked Switch Groups
A total of up to thirteen DES-3326SR Switches can be stacked, using the optional stacking module, into a Switch
stack that can then be configured and managed as a single unit. The Web-based Management agent of the
Master Switch can configure and manage all of the Switches in a Switch stack
−
using a single IP address (the IP
address of the Master Switch).
The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be also be used to manage and configure all of the Switches in a Switch
stack
−
from the serial port on the Master Switch. The CLI can also be used to configure and manage the switch
stack via the TELNET protocol
−
using a single IP address (the IP address of the Master Switch).
NOTICE:
Do not connect the stacked Switch group to the network until you have
properly configured all Switches for stacking. An improperly configured Switch
stack can cause a broadcast storm.
Stacking Connections with IEEE 1394 Cabling
The example below illustrates stacking connections for a six-switch stack.
Figure 2 - 7. Switch Stack connections between optional stacking modules
The stacking ports are marked
IN
and
OUT
. The IEEE 1394 compliant cable must be connected from an
IN
port on one switch to an
OUT
port on the next switch in the stack. Connect the last Switch in the stack to the
Master switch to complete the loop. This will create a ring topology for the stacked group. The logical stack
order is determined by stacking connection in relation to the Master. The Number 2 Switch will be the Switch
connected to the
OUT
port on the Master, the Number 3 Switch is connected to the
OUT
port on the Number 2
Switch, and so on.
NOTICE:
If a link between stacked switches fails the stacked group must be
connected to work around the failed link. Any change to the composition of a
stacked switch group or any failure of a stacking port will trigger an automatic restart
of the entire stack. Therefore, after making the necessary changes to the stacked
group, restart the entire stack again so the new stacking relationship may be
negotiated again. Read the CLI Reference for information on manual configuration
of Switch Stacking Commands.
