Move the Stack Master to a Different Unit

This example is provided as CLI commands and a Web interface procedure.

CLI: Move the Stack Master to a Different Unit

1.Using the movemanagement command, move the master to a different unit number. The operation takes between 30 seconds and 3 minutes depending on the stack size and configuration. The command is movemanagement <fromunit-id><tounit-id>.

2.Make sure that you can log in on the console attached to the new master. Use the show switch command to verify that all units rejoined the stack.

3.NETGEAR recommends that you rest the stack with the reload command after moving the master.

Web Interface: Move the Stack Master to a Different Unit

1.Select System > Management > Basic > Stack Configuration. A screen similar to the following displays.

2.In the Management Unit Selected list, select 2. A warning window displays.

3.Click the OK button.

4.Click Apply.

Note: If you move a master to a different unit, you might lose the connection to the switch because the IP address could change if the switch gets its IP address using DHCP.
