1-3z If a device is already configured as the master device of a stack or is already a slave device of astack, you cannot configure a private IP address pool on the device.z When you configure a private IP address pool for a stack, the number of IP addresses in theaddress pool needs to be equal to or greater than the number of devices to be added to the stack.Otherwise, some devices may not be able to join the stack automatically for lack of private IPaddresses.Configuring Stack PortsOn the master device, configure ports that connect to slave devices as stack ports.Follow the steps below to configure stack ports:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Configure the specified ports asstack portsstack stack-portstack-port-num portinterface-listRequiredBy default, a port is not a stackport.Creating a StackAfter you execute the stack role master command on a stack-capable device, the device becomes themaster device of a stack and automatically adds the devices connected with its stack ports to the stack.Follow the steps below to create a stack:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Create a stack stack role master RequiredAfter you configure a device as the master device of a stack, the prompt changes to, where Sysname is the system name of the device.Configuring Stack Ports of a Slave DeviceYou need to configure stack ports to add a slave device to the stack.The ports of a slave device that connect to other stack devices need to be configured as stack ports.Follow the steps below to configure stack ports:
