D-Link DES-3326S Layer 3 Switch Notes on Stacking Switches By default, the Switch configuration settings allow it to operate as a standalone device, or in a stacked group. It is not necessary to change any settings for the Switch to function in either capacity. However, it is recommended that a Master Switch be manually designated for a stacked group when it is first set up. Keep in mind the following guidelines when setting up a Switch stack: • A Switch that is not connected to another DES-3326S through the stacking ports will operate as a standalone Switch even if the stacking mode is enabled as a Master or in Auto mode. • In order to easily identify the Master Switch, place the designated Master unit at the top of the stack. Use the auto stacking mode for the remaining Switches. Stack order is determined by how the Switches are connected in relation to the Master. • If a link between stacked switches fails the stacked group must be connected to work around the failed link. As with any changes in the composition of the stacked switch group, the new stacking relationship must be negotiated. Any change to the composition of a stacked switch group or any failure of a stacking port will cause the entire stack to restart and negotiate the new stacking composition. The slave Switch units must meet the following criteria: • All additional slave Switches must be the same model, that is (at the time of the writing of this manual), the slaves must be all DES-3326S Switches. The slave unit types cannot be mixed within a single stacked group. • All Switches must have the same firmware version loaded to operate in a stacked group. • A Master should be designated for the group. If the remaining Switches are using the default stacking mode configuration, the Master will be recognized and the stack order established automatically. Stacking mode can be changed using the CLI. The possible stacking configuration modes are as follows: Disabled: This forces the Switch to operate as a standalone device. In standalone mode the Switch functions as a standalone device even if a stacking module is installed. To force standalone operation it is necessary to use the CLI command config stacking mode disable. A Switch that has stacking mode disabled should never connect to another Switch through stacking ports. See below for notes on standalone operation. NOTICE: Do not use stacking ports on a Switch that has the stacking mode disabled. Enabled: Stacking mode is enabled by default. When enabled the Switch can operate as a standalone device or it can operate with other DES-3326S Switches in a properly connected stacked group. Stacking must be enabled for the Switch function in a stacked arrangement with other DES-3326S Switches. When stacking mode is enabled it must also be configured to function in auto, master or slave mode. Auto: This is the default stacking mode setting for the DES-3326S. In auto stacking mode the Switch is eligible for stacking or it can operate as a standalone device. If a DES-3326S Switch stack is connected and all units are configured to operate in auto stacking mode, the master-slave relationships is determined automatically. However, as previously noted, it is better to manually designate a Switch (at the top of the stack) to be the Master Switch and restart the entire stack. See the instructions below for details on how to manually designate a Master. Master: The auto mode described above may be overridden so that a properly connected Switch in a stack may be forced into master mode. Only one Switch in a stack may act as the master and all configuration settings for the stacked group - including stacking configuration - are saved in configuration files in the master Switch. The stack is managed as a single entity through the master. It may be convenient to place the master unit in the upper-most slot of a stacked group to visually distinguish it form the slave units. The master unit should be used to uplink the stack group to the backbone. If the master unit fails or is replaced for any reason, it is possible to load configuration files saved from the original master unit in order to continue operation with identical settings. Slave: The auto mode may be overridden to force the Switch to operate in slave mode. When the Switch is in slave mode, it is ineligible to function as a master and all configuration, is done through the Master unit. A Master Switch must be properly connected to the stack for a Switch to operate in slave mode. 25

D-Link DES-3326S Layer 3 Switch

Notes on Stacking Switches

By default, the Switch configuration settings allow it to operate as a standalone device, or in a stacked group. It is not

necessary to change any settings for the Switch to function in either capacity. However, it is recommended that a Master

Switch be manually designated for a stacked group when it is first set up.

Keep in mind the following guidelines when setting up a Switch stack:

•

A Switch that is not connected to another DES-3326S through the stacking ports will operate as a standalone Switch

even if the stacking mode is enabled as a Master or in Auto mode.

•

In order to easily identify the Master Switch, place the designated Master unit at the top of the stack. Use the auto

stacking mode for the remaining Switches. Stack order is determined by how the Switches are connected in relation to

the Master.

•

If a link between stacked switches fails the stacked group must be connected to work around the failed link. As with

any changes in the composition of the stacked switch group, the new stacking relationship must be negotiated. Any

change to the composition of a stacked switch group or any failure of a stacking port will cause the entire stack to

restart and negotiate the new stacking composition.

The slave Switch units must meet the following criteria:

•

All additional slave Switches must be the same model, that is (at the time of the writing of this manual), the slaves

must be all DES-3326S Switches. The slave unit types cannot be mixed within a single stacked group.

•

All Switches must have the same firmware version loaded to operate in a stacked group.

•

A Master should be designated for the group. If the remaining Switches are using the default stacking mode

configuration, the Master will be recognized and the stack order established automatically.

Stacking mode can be changed using the CLI. The possible stacking configuration modes are as follows:

Disabled:

This forces the Switch to operate as a standalone device. In standalone mode the Switch functions as a standalone

device even if a stacking module is installed. To force standalone operation it is necessary to use the CLI command

config stacking mode disable

. A Switch that has stacking mode disabled should never connect to another Switch

through stacking ports. See below for notes on standalone operation.

NOTICE:

Do not use stacking ports on a Switch that has the stacking mode disabled.

Enabled:

Stacking mode is enabled by default. When enabled the Switch can operate as a standalone device or it can operate

with other DES-3326S Switches in a properly connected stacked group. Stacking must be enabled for the Switch function in a

stacked arrangement with other DES-3326S Switches. When stacking mode is enabled it must also be configured to function in

auto, master or slave mode.

Auto:

This is the default stacking mode setting for the DES-3326S. In auto stacking mode the Switch is eligible for stacking or

it can operate as a standalone device. If a DES-3326S Switch stack is connected and all units are configured to operate in auto

stacking mode, the master-slave relationships is determined automatically. However, as previously noted, it is better to

manually designate a Switch (at the top of the stack) to be the Master Switch and restart the entire stack. See the instructions

below for details on how to manually designate a Master.

Master:

The auto mode described above may be overridden so that a properly connected Switch in a stack may be forced into

master mode. Only one Switch in a stack may act as the master and all configuration settings for the stacked group - including

stacking configuration - are saved in configuration files in the master Switch. The stack is managed as a single entity through

replaced for any reason, it is possible to load configuration files saved from the original master unit in order to continue

operation with identical settings.

Slave:

The auto mode may be overridden to force the Switch to operate in slave mode. When the Switch is in slave mode, it is

ineligible to function as a master and all configuration, is done through the Master unit. A Master Switch must be properly

connected to the stack for a Switch to operate in slave mode.
