Port-level configuration on HP 3800 switches with stacking enabled
When stacking is enabled on an HP 3800 switch, the procedures for configuring specific switch
ports are the same as for HP 3800 switches without stacking enabled. However, the port
designations for the ports in the stack are modified. That is, each port is identified by its switch’s
stack member ID followed by a slash and then the port number, as it is shown on the switch. For
example, for a switch with stack member ID 3, port 10 on that switch is identified as port 3/10
for CLI command input and output. Entering a CLI command on an HP 3800 switch configured for
stacking without using the modified port designation results in the following message:
Module not present for port or invalid port
For more on this topic, see "Interaction with Other Switch Features" in the "Stack Management"
chapter of the latest Management and Configuration Guide for HP 3800 switches.
