DES-3226S Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch User's Guide Now let us suppose you wish to add another Switch to this stack. The new Switch has a MAC address 001122334450. After rebooting all the Switches in the stack, the newly added Switch becomes the Master Switch. The new automatically determined stack order becomes: Stack Order 1(added Switch) 2 (original Master) 3 4 5 6 MAC Address 001122334450 001122334451 001122334452 001122334453 001122334454 001122334455 You can override the automatic stack order selection to use the original Master Switch as the Master of the new stack (read Switch Stacking Information in Chapter 6 for information on how to override the stack order auto-detect function). To override the automatic selection of the stack order you must attach the serial cable to the newly added Switch (MAC address 001122334450). Now you can reconfigure the stack to place the original Master Switch (MAC address 001122334451) again into the number 1 position and the newly added Switch into the number 6 position. After reconfiguration and restarting the Switches, the new stack order becomes: Stack Order 1(New Master) 2 (orginal master) 3 4 5 6 MAC Address 001122334450 001122334451 001122334452 001122334453 001122334454 001122334455 Introduction 15
