Initial installation
-- During the initial installation of the
stack, the software automatically determines the
physical order of all units in the stack according to the
position of the base unit within the stack.
For example, when the stack is powered up, the base
unit becomes unit 1 and the unit that the base unit
connects to (via the Cascade A Out cable) becomes
unit 2 (and the next unit is unit 3 and so on), until the
maximum stack configuration (up to 8 units) is
reached.
If the base unit is changed to another unit in the stack,
the new base unit keeps its original unit number in the
stack.
•
Temporary Base Unit
-- If an assigned base unit fails,
the next unit in the stack order automatically becomes
the new temporary base unit, as follows:
-- If the assigned base unit is a Business Policy Switch
(in a mixed stack configuration), the next
Business Policy Switch unit in the stack order
automatically becomes the new temporary base
unit.
Note:
You can renumber the units when you perform
the initial setup of the stack as described in your
switch’s
