Switching from the Stack Master to the Backup Stack Master
The Backup Master replaces the Stack Master if the following events occur:
•The Stack Master fails or is removed from the stack.
•Links from the Stack Master to the stacking members fails.
•A soft switchover is performed with either via web interface or the CLI.
Switching between the Stack Master and the Backup Master results in a limited service loss.
Any dynamic tables are relearned if a failure occurs. The running configuration file is synchronized between Stack Master and the Backup Master, and continues running on the Backup Master.
Features Overview
This section describes the device features. For a complete list of all updated device features, see the latest software version Release Notes.
IP Version 6 (IPv6) Support
The device functions as an IPv6 compliant Host, as well as an IPv4 Host (also known as dual stack). This allows device operation in a pure IPv6 network as well as in a combined IPv4/IPv6 network.
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides power to devices over existing LAN cabling, without updating or modifying the network infrastructure. PoE removes the need for placing network devices next to power sources. PoE can be used in the following applications:
•IP Phones
•Wireless Access Points
•IP Gateways
