261
config stacking mode
all configuration settings for the stacked group -
including stacking configuration - are saved in
configuration files in the master switch. The
stack is managed as a single entity through the
master.
slave − This overrides the auto stacking mode.
When the switch is in slave mode in cannot
function as a master and a master switch must
be properly connected to the stack for a switch
to operate in slave mode.
disable – This forces the switch to operate as a
standalone device. In standalone mode the
switch functions as a standalone device even if
a stacking module is installed. When stacking
mode is disabled, configuration settings
including IP settings are saved in an alternate
configuration file. A switch that has stacking
mode disabled should not use stacking ports if
they are present.
Restrictions
The switch’s stacking mode can only be
changed using the CLI interface. Only
administrator-level users can issue this
command.
