compatible with your network.

Stacking is enabled by default, but if the switch was powered on for the first time and a stacking
module is not installed, it becomes disabled and that configuration change is saved in the switch’s
Stacking
running configuration. In that case, for the stacking feature to operate, stacking must first be enabled.
From the config context in the CLI, enter the command stacking enable.
Where to Go From Here: Networked Connections
After the Switch is configured with a Manager password, IP address, and subnet mask, you can
manage the switch from a networked connection, such as:
• PC equipped with Telnet (see “Starting a Telnet Session” on Starting a Telnet Session).
• Web browser interface (see “Starting a Web Browser Session on Starting a Web Browser
Session).
• SNMP-based network management station using a tool like IMC.
For more information on these management interfaces and all the features that you can configure
on the switch, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch on the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise website.
