Supermicro Switch Web GUI Quick Configuration Guide
Fig 7: Stacking Page
In the Ports field, list the stacking ports as comma separated without space characters. Stacking
ports are named as xg1, xg2, xg3 and xg4. So if you choose ports xg1 and xg2 as stacking
ports, configure the ports field as either “xg1,xg2” or as “xg1-2”.
To connect switches in stacking mode follow the steps below:
Configure the stacking Switch ID, Ports, and Priority. Then Enable for Stacking in all
switches. Make sure to configure the priority as PM (preferred master) for the switch you
intend to be master.
Connect the stacking ports through CX4 cables (stacking cable lengths must not exceed
3 meters).
Restart all switches
Manage the stack through the master switch IP address.
Note:
1. Do not use the same switch ID for multiple switches on the stack.
2. All switches in the stack can only be configured through the master switch.
3. Make sure all stacked switches run the same version of firmware!
