Stack IP Interfaces
Use the Stack IP Interfaces window to configure a single IP interface for the stack. This inter-
face is known at the master interface and is shared by all switches in the stack.
Enter the following information for the master and backup stacking IP interfaces:
IP address and subnet mask
Group number
VLAN number
Default gateway IP address
Click Apply to make your changes active, and Save to retain changes beyond reboot cycles.
To delete an interface, check the appropriate Delete box and click Apply.
Note – If no Backup Switch Interface is configured, the Master Switch Interface is used if the
backup takes over operation of the stack. Gratuitous ARP for the backup IP address is sent out
to the network when a failover to the backup occurs.
This screen also displays information about the management IP interface:
IP address and subnet mask
Default gateway IP address
Default VLAN number
