Slave Unit
— Runs a slave version of the software that enables the
applications running on the Master’s CPU to control and manage the
resources of the slave unit.
Master Backup
— Runs as a slave unit, as described above, and in
addition, continuously monitors the existence and operation of the stack
master. If the master unit fails, the master-backup unit assumes the Master
Backup role.
Stacking Units
PowerConnect 5500 series switches use two HDMI 10G ports for stacking.
To connect the units in the stack:
1
Insert one end of an HDMI cable into the left-hand HDMI port on the
unit at the top of the stack and the other end into the right-hand HDMI
port of the unit immediately below it (this is called crossover).
2
Repeat this process until all units are connected.
3
(Optional) Connect the left-hand HDMI port of the unit at the bottom of
the stack to the right-hand HDMI port of the unit at the top of the stack.
This step provides increased bandwidth and redundancy.
