Planning and Creating a Switch Stack (Only 3130G-S and 3130X-S Switches)

Other Management Options

You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks. You also can manage it from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as SunNet Manager.

See the “Accessing Help Online” section on page 29 for a list of supporting documentation.

Planning and Creating a Switch Stack (Only 3130G-S and 3130X-S Switches)

A switch stack is a set of up to nine stacking-capable switches that are connected through their StackWise Plus ports. One switch controls the operation of the stack and is called the stack master. The stack master and the other switches in the stack are stack members. Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols present the entire switch stack as a single entity to the network. Stacking is optional.

When switches are not stacked, each acts as a standalone switch. For general concepts and procedures to manage switch stacks, see the switch software configuration guide and command reference on Cisco.com.

Caution The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 for Dell and the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3032 for Dell do not support switch stacks with other types of blades switches as members. Combining the stacking-capable blade switches for Dell with other types of blade switches in a switch stack might cause the switch to work improperly or to fail.

Before you connect the switches in a stack, keep in mind these stacking guidelines:

•You should install the stack master switch and run the initial setup program on that switch before you connect the StackWise Plus cables to other stack members. We recommend that you assign the highest priority value to the switch that you prefer to be the stack master. This ensures that the switch is re-elected as stack master if a re-election occurs. As you add new switches to the stack, they automatically become stack members.
