Before you Start

Building a stack

Follow the guidelines in this section in order to build a working stack using any combination of the following devices:

●P330 series

●P330-ML series

●G700

●P330 series

1. Add only a single box at a time to an existing stack.

! Important:

The stack master (also called "stack IP Agent") may fail to preserve existing "stack configuration" if you will add more than a single device to an existing stack at a time.

-After adding the first box, wait until the stack is functioning fully before adding the next device.

2.Refer to Table 4 to see which firmware versions can be used in mixed stacks.

For example, if you wish to add a P332G-ML to a stack with P330 4.5 switches, the P332G-ML switch must have firmware version 4.5.8.

-Upgrade/downgrade the firmware of switches that do not match version in the table.

Tip:

It is highly recommended to upgrade/downgrade before connecting the added box to an existing stack.

-Ensure switches of the same type have the same firmware version
