Chapter SGE2000/SGE2000P Gigabit Ethernet Switch Reference Guide 2 3. Power the units on. After a short interval, they will become stack members, but will have automatically-assigned Unit IDs. Assign each such unit its desired Unit ID (using the Stack Management Interface through the console port, by Telnet, or by using the graphical user interface (GUI). 4. Reset the units to make this assignment permanent. NOTE: We recommended that if you manually assign a Unit ID to one unit, you manually assign Unit IDs to all units. Using a mix of both system-assigned and manuallyassigned IDs in your network can impact system performance. The unit that is assigned the Unit ID 1 is the Stack Master, and its front panel "MST" LED lights green. The unit assigned the Unit ID 2 is the Backup Master. Understanding Stack Resiliency Stacks can be configured in ring or chain topologies. We recommend configuring the stack in ring topology, due to the high resiliency in case of unit failure or stacking links failure. Additionally, if a redundant power supply is present, we recommend connecting the Stack Master and Backup Master units to the redundant power supply. Understanding Advanced Stacking To understand advanced stacking, you must understand Unit IDs and how they are allocated, and the stack unit startup process. Unit IDs Each unit in a stack has an assigned unique Unit ID number. The following sections describe the Unit IDs and their characteristics. Stack Master The unit assigned the Unit ID number 1 serves as the Stack Master. All other units are stack members. The Stack Master provides a single point of control, configuration and management for the entire stack, and stores the configuration for all stack members. (Members do not store any configuration information.) Stack Backup Master The unit assigned the Unit ID number 2 is a special stack member that serves as the stack Backup Master. A stack Backup Master assumes the role of Stack Master for the remaining stack members if the stack Master fails or is disconnected.

Understanding Stack Resiliency

SGE2000/SGE2000P Gigabit Ethernet Switch Reference Guide

Chapter

Power the units on. After a short interval, they will become stack members, but will have

automatically-assigned Unit IDs. Assign each such unit its desired Unit ID (using the Stack

Management Interface through the console port, by Telnet, or by using the graphical user interface

(GUI).

Reset the units to make this assignment permanent.

The unit that is assigned the Unit ID 1 is the Stack Master, and its front panel “MST” LED lights green.

The unit assigned the Unit ID 2 is the Backup Master.

Understanding Stack Resiliency

Stacks can be configured in ring or chain topologies. We recommend configuring the stack in ring

topology, due to the high resiliency in case of unit failure or stacking links failure.

Additionally, if a redundant power supply is present, we recommend connecting the Stack Master and

Backup Master units to the redundant power supply.

Understanding Advanced Stacking

To understand advanced stacking, you must understand Unit IDs and how they are allocated, and the

stack unit startup process.

Unit IDs

Each unit in a stack has an assigned unique Unit ID number. The following sections describe the Unit

IDs and their characteristics.

Stack Master

The unit assigned the Unit ID number 1 serves as the Stack Master. All other units are stack members.

The Stack Master provides a single point of control, configuration and management for the entire stack,

and stores the configuration for all stack members. (Members do not store any configuration

information.)

Stack Backup Master

The unit assigned the Unit ID number 2 is a special stack member that serves as the stack Backup

Master. A stack Backup Master assumes the role of Stack Master for the remaining stack members if the

stack Master fails or is disconnected.

NOTE:

We recommended that if you manually assign a

Unit ID to one unit, you manually assign Unit IDs to all

units. Using a mix of both system-assigned and manually-

assigned IDs in your network can impact system

performance.
