Connect Your Stack to the Management Network
Before you can congure SwitchEngine for a new stack, your management console
must be connected to at least one switch in the stack.
Connect your management console to a serial console port or the Ethernet
management console port on the switch that will become the stack primary node.
If you plan to congure redundancy, connect to the console ports of all switches in the
stack that will be primary-capable.
If you followed the cabling examples in Connect the Switches to Form the Stack Ring
on page 55, and if you use the Easy Setup conguration procedure, only slots 1 and
2 can become the primary node. However, you can connect all switch management
ports in the stack if you choose to do so. There is an alternate IP address conguration
that will enable you to log in directly to each switch in the stack through its Ethernet
management port.
See the SwitchEngine User's Guide for your version of SwitchEngine for instructions to
perform the software conguration for your stack.
