Operation Manual – Stack-ClusterH3C S3100-52P Ethernet Switch Chapter 1 Stack1-3z Make sure the IP addresses in the IP address pool of a stack are successive sothat they can be assigned successively. For example, the IP addresses in an IPaddress pool with its start IP address something like 223.255.255.254 are notsuccessive. In this case, errors may occur when adding a switch to the stack.z IP addresses in the IP address pool of a stack must be of the same networksegment. For example, the 1.1.255.254 is not a qualified start address for a stackIP address pool.z If the IP address of the management VLAN interface of the main switch (or a slaveswitch) is not of the same network segment as that of the stack address pool, themain switch (or the slave switch) automatically removes the existing IP addressand picks a new one from the stack address pool as its IP address.z Since both stack and cluster use the management VLAN and only one VLANinterface is available on the S3100-52P switch, stack and cluster must share thesame management VLAN if you want to configure stack within a cluster.1.2.2 Switching to Slave Switch ViewAfter creating a stack, you can switch to slave switch view from the main switch toconfigure slave switches.Table 1-2 Switch to slave switch viewOperation Command DescriptionSwitch to slaveswitch view stacking numberRequiredNumber: Number of the slave switch toswitch to.This command can be used to switch fromuser view of the main switch to user view ofa slave switch. The user level remains thesame while switching.You can quit slave switch view after slave switch configuration.Table 1-3 Quit slave switch viewOperation Command DescriptionQuit slave switchview quitYou can quit slave switch view only byexecuting this command in user view of aslave switch.1.2.3 Stack-Port Function ConfigurationI. Introduction to the Stack-Port FunctionIf you enable the stack function on a stack-supporting device, the device will send
