ObjectDescription
• Stack Topology | Specifies the type of topology for the stack: |
•Chain: A chain of switches, that is, no redundant forwarding paths.
•Ring: A ring of switches, thereby providing redundant forwarding paths.
•
•Stack Member Count The number of switches in the stack.
•Last Topology Change The time of the last topology change in the stack.
• Master Switch | The MAC address of the current stack master switch. |
•Last Master Change The time of the last master change in the stack.
Stack List
For each switch in the stack, the following information is shown: The MAC address, Switch ID, product name and version, and master election state. The master election state is normally "No". Only when a forced master election is enforced by the user, the master election state takes the value "Yes". For details about the master election algorithm, see Stack Configuration.
