D-Link DES-3326S Layer 3 Switch Connecting Stacked Switch Groups A total of up to thirteen DES-3326S Switches can be stacked, using the optional stacking module, into a Switch stack that can then be configured and managed as a single unit. The Web-based Management agent of the Master Switch can configure and manage all of the Switches in a Switch stack − using a single IP address (the IP address of the Master Switch). The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be also be used to manage and configure all of the Switches in a Switch stack − from the serial port on the Master Switch. The CLI can also be used to configure and manage the switch stack via the TELNET protocol − using a single IP address (the IP address of the Master Switch). NOTICE: Do not connect the stacked Switch group to the network until you have properly configured all Switches for stacking. An improperly configured Switch stack can cause a broadcast storm. Stacking Connections with IEEE 1394 Cabling The example below illustrates stacking connections for a six-switch stack. Figure 2 - 7. Switch Stack connections between optional stacking modules The stacking ports are marked IN and OUT. The IEEE 1394 compliant cable must be connected from an IN port on one switch to an OUT port on the next switch in the stack. Connect the last Switch in the stack to the Master switch to complete the loop. This will create a ring topology for the stacked group. The logical stack order is determined by stacking connection in relation to the Master. The Number 2 Switch will be the Switch connected to the OUT port on the Master, the Number 3 Switch is connected to the OUT port on the Number 2 Switch, and so on. NOTICE: If a link between stacked switches fails the stacked group must be connected to work around the failed link. Any change to the composition of a stacked switch group or any failure of a stacking port will trigger an automatic restart of the entire stack. Therefore, after making the necessary changes to the stacked group, restart the entire stack again so the new stacking relationship may be negotiated again. Read the CLI Reference for information on manual configuration of Switch Stacking Commands. 24

D-Link DES-3326S Layer 3 Switch
Connecting Stacked Switch Groups
A total of up to thirteen DES-3326S Switches can be stacked, using the optional stacking module, into a Switch stack that can
then be configured and managed as a single unit.
The Web-based Management agent of the Master Switch can configure and
manage all of the Switches in a Switch stack
using a single IP address (the IP address of the Master Switch).
The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be also be used to manage and configure all of the Switches in a Switch stack
from
the serial port on the Master Switch. The CLI can also be used to configure and manage the switch stack via the TELNET
protocol
using a single IP address (the IP address of the Master Switch).
NOTICE:
Do not connect the stacked Switch group to the network until
you have properly configured all Switches for stacking. An improperly
configured Switch stack can cause a broadcast storm.
Stacking Connections with IEEE 1394 Cabling
The example below illustrates stacking connections for a six-switch stack.
Figure 2 - 7. Switch Stack connections between optional stacking modules
The stacking ports are marked
IN
and
OUT
.
The IEEE 1394 compliant cable must be connected from an
IN
port on one
switch to an
OUT
port on the next switch in the stack. Connect the last Switch in the stack to the Master switch to complete
the loop. This will create a ring topology for the stacked group. The logical stack order is determined by stacking connection in
relation to the Master. The Number 2 Switch will be the Switch connected to the
OUT
port on the Master, the Number 3
Switch is connected to the
OUT
port on the Number 2 Switch, and so on.
NOTICE:
If a link between stacked switches fails the stacked group must be
connected to work around the failed link. Any change to the composition of a
stacked switch group or any failure of a stacking port will trigger an automatic restart
of the entire stack. Therefore, after making the necessary changes to the stacked
group, restart the entire stack again so the new stacking relationship may be
negotiated again. Read the CLI Reference for information on manual configuration
of Switch Stacking Commands.
