Verifying Access to a Management Port
It is possible to set the management VLAN to a VLAN that does not exist. If you cannot reach anything
from the management address, inspect the management VLAN with the commands
show interface
managementethernet or show running-config, to inspect the management IP settings, as shown in
Figure 4-41.

Setting Stack Management Preferences
For details on combining S-Series switches into virtual single switches through stacking commands, see
Chapter 5, Stacking S-Series Switches.
Note: For more on management access, see Protecting the Management Interface with a
Loopback ACL on page 201.
Note: Each model in the S-Series line is only capable of stacking with other switches of the
same model, and the S2410 models do not stack at all.
