52.2.2 Identifying Stack Member Device
According to the Device Number
The host in the stack system is selected according to device priorities. The one with the
highest priority is selected as the host. When two member devices have the same priority,
they are selected according to their MAC addresses. The one with a smaller MAC address is
selected as the host. After you configure the priority of a device, you must restart it to put the
setting into effect.
After the stack is established, you can only execute out-band management through the serial
port of the host. Therefore, you are recommended to first select a host before you establish a
stack, and set it to have a high priority in the standalone mode, so that it is elected as the
host in the stack. The priorities of the devices are 1-10 from high to low, defaulted to 1. For
the detailed setting methods, see Configuring the Device Priority. When the stack is
started, you can use the show member command to show the information of the stack
members. You can determine the devices in the stack and their sequence according to their
MAC addresses.
You are recommended to arrange the devices stacked from device 1 to device N, and
connect them according to the above rule.
In a stack, you can only execute out-band management through the serial
port of the host. Therefore, you are recommended to first select a host
before you establish a stack, and set it to have a high priority in the
standalone mode, so that it is elected as the host in the stack.
member: 1-MAX, configuring the member device.
priority: 1-10, specifying the priority of the device.
By default, 1 is configured for a member device.
