Monitoring Stack Status

Using the stacking options in the menu interface for any switch in a stack, you can view stacking data for that switch or for all stacks in the subnet (broadcast domain). (If you are using VLANs in your stack environment, see “Stacking Operation with a Tagged VLAN” on page 7-46.)This can help you in such ways as determining the stacking configuration for individual switches, identifying stack Members and Candidates, and determining the status of individual switches in a stack. See table 7-5on page 7-27.
