Switch Stack Management and Connectivity
You manage the switch stack through the stack master. You cannot manage stack members
on an individual basis. To access the stack master, use either a serial connection to the
switch master’s console port, or a Telnet connection to the IP address of the stack.
You can use these methods to manage switch stacks:
• Web Management Interface.
• CLI (over a serial connection).
• A network management application through SNMP.
