Stack Management for the 3500, 3500yl, 6200yl and 6600 Switches
Configuring Stack Management
■ Default stacking configuration (Stack State set to Candidate, and Auto
Join set to Yes)
■ Same subnet (broadcast domain) and default VLAN as the
Commander (If VLANs are used in the stack environment, see
“Stacking Operation with a Tagged VLAN” on page 6-43.)
■ No Manager password
■ 14 or fewer stack members at the moment
General Steps for Creating a Stack
This section describes the general stack creation process. For the detailed
configuration processes, see pages 6-11 through 6-34 for the menu interface
and pages 6-27 through 6-39 for the CLI.
1. Determine the naming conventions for the stack. You will need a stack
name. Also, to help distinguish one switch from another in the stack, you
can configure a unique system name for each switch. Otherwise, the
system name for a switch appearing in the Stacking Status screen appears
as the stack name plus an automatically assigned switch number. For
example:
Figure 6-4. Using the System Name to Help Identify Individual Switches
Stack with unique
system name for each
switch.
Stack named "Online"
with no previously
configured system
names assigned to
individual switches.

descriptions, see the
table on page 6-44.
