Chapter 4: Stacking BMD00082, February 2009
Configuring an External IP Address for the Stack
Choose menu System Settings > Stacking > IP Interfaces. Use the Stack IP Interfaces win-
dow to configure a single IP interface for the stack. This interface is known at the Master inter-
face and is shared by all switches in the stack.
Figure 4-D Stack IP Interfaces Configuration Window
Enter the following information for the Master Switch Interface:
Master interface IP address and subnet mask
Virtual Switch Group number
VLAN number used for external access to the stack (rather than the internal VLAN 4090
used for inter-stack traffic)
Default gateway IP address
Click Apply to make the changes active, and Save to retain changes beyond reboot cycles.
Note – The Backup switch interface is provided for historical purposes only and should be left
unconfigured. If a Backup switch interface is defined in this window, and the Master fails, the
stack IP address will change to the IP address configured for the Backup switch interface.
