Stack Configuration
This page moves the Primary Management Unit functionality from one unit to another. Upon
execution, the entire stack (including all interfaces in the stack) is unconfiugred and
reconfigured with the configuration on the new Primary Management Unit. After the reload is
complete, all stack management capability must be performed on the new Primary
Management Unit. To preserve the current configuration across a stack move, please save
the current configuration to the nvram before performing the stack move. A stack move
causes all routes and layer 2 addresses to be lost. The administrator is prompted to confirm
the management move.
To display the Stack Configuration page, click System > Stacking > Advanced> Stack
Configuration. A screen similar to the following displays.
1. Use Management Unit Selected to select the unit to be managed unit and click APPLY
to move the management to the selected unit.
2. Unit ID - Displays the list of units of the stack. Details of the selected unit are displayed.
There is also an ADD option visible only to Admin users which can be used to pre-configure
new members of the stack.
3. Use Switch Type to specify the type of switch hardware when creating a new switch in the
stack.
4. Admin Management Preference is a 2-byte field that indicates whether the administrator
wants this unit to become a management unit in preference to another unit. The default
value for this setting is one. If the preference level is set to zero then the device cannot
become a management unit. This field is non-configurable for users with read-only access.
5. Click ADD to add a unit to the stack with the specific switch type.
6. Click DELETE to remove the selected unit from the stack.
