  UNDERSTANDING SWITCH STACKS ASWITCH STACK IS A SET OF UP TO NINE CATALYST 3750 SWITCHES CONNECTED THROUGH THEIR STACKWISE PORTS. ONE OF THE SWITCHES CONTROLS THE OPERATION OF THE STACK AND IS CALLED THE STACK MASTER. THE STACK MASTER AND THE OTHER SWITCHES IN THE STACK ARE STACK MEMBERS. THE STACK MEMBERS USE THE CISCO STACKWISE TECHNOLOGY TO BEHAVE AND WORK TOGETHER AS A UNIFIED SYSTEM. LAYER 2 AND LAYER 3 PROTOCOLS PRESENT THE ENTIRE SWITCH STACK AS A SINGLE ENTITY TO THE NETWORK. YOU MANAGE THE SWITCH STACK THROUGH A SINGLE IP ADDRESS. Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015

  STACK MASTER • STACKCREATED BY CONNECTING SWITCHES USING CISCO PROPRIETARY STACKING CABLE • ONE SWITCH BECOMES STACK MASTER • ALL SWITCHES HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE STACK MASTER – NO SPECIAL HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIRED • DURING FORMATION OF STACK, STACK MASTER IS ELECTED • THE STACK MASTER CAN BE SELECTED BY ASSIGNING A USER-CONFIGURABLE PRIORITY • A SWITCH STACK IS IDENTIFIED IN THE NETWORK BY ITS BRIDGE ID AND, ITS ROUTER MAC ADDRESS. • THE BRIDGE ID AND ROUTER MAC ADDRESS ARE DETERMINED BY THE MAC ADDRESS OF THE STACK MASTER. • EVERY STACK MEMBER IS UNIQUELY IDENTIFIED BY ITS OWN STACK MEMBER NUMBER. • THE SWITCH WITH THE HIGHEST PRIORITY VALUE BECOMES THE STACK MASTER. • A SWITCH RUNNING THE EMI SOFTWARE IS THE STACK MASTER. • THE STACK MASTER CONTAINS THE SAVED AND RUNNING CONFIGURATION FILES FOR THE SWITCH STACK.

  SWITCH STACK MEMBERSHIP ASWITCH STACK HAS UP TO NINE STACK MEMBERS CONNECTED THROUGH THEIR STACKWISE PORTS. A SWITCH STACK ALWAYS HAS ONE STACK MASTER. CREATING A SWITCH STACK FROM TWO STANDALONE SWITCHES A STANDALONE SWITCH IS A SWITCH STACK WITH ONE STACK MEMBER THAT ALSO OPERATES AS THE STACK MASTER. YOU CAN CONNECT ONE STANDALONE SWITCH TO ANOTHER TO CREATE A SWITCH STACK CONTAINING TWO STACK MEMBERS, WITH ONE OF THEM BEING THE STACK MASTER. Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015
• 6.
  ADDING A STANDALONESWITCH TO A SWITCH STACK YOU CAN CONNECT STANDALONE SWITCHES TO AN EXISTING SWITCH STACK TO INCREASE THE STACK MEMBERSHIP. TIPS: AFTER ADDING OR REMOVING STACK MEMBERS, MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH STACK IS OPERATING AT FULL BANDWIDTH (32 GBPS). MAKE SURE THE SWITCHES THAT YOU ADD TO OR REMOVE FROM THE SWITCH STACK ARE POWERED OFF. Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015

  STACK MASTER ELECTIONAND RE- ELECTION THE STACK MASTER IS ELECTED OR RE-ELECTED BASED ON ONE OF THESE FACTORS AND IN THE ORDER LISTED: • A. STACK MASTER ELECTION IS BASED ON THE STACK MEMBER PRIORITY VALUE • B. STACK MASTER ELECTION SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED BY THE CONFIGURATION FILE • C. STACK MASTER ELECTION SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED BY THE CRYPTOGRAPHIC EMI SOFTWARE • D. STACK MASTER ELECTION SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED BY THE EMI SOFTWARE • E. STACK MASTER ELECTION SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED BY THE CRYPTOGRAPHIC SMI SOFTWARE • F. STACK MASTER ELECTION SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED BY THE MAC ADDRESS TIPS: ASSUMING THAT BOTH STACK MEMBERS HAVE THE SAME PRIORITY VALUE, CONFIGURATION FILE, AND SOFTWARE IMAGE, RESTART BOTH STACK MEMBERS AT THE SAME TIME, THE STACK MEMBER WITH THE LOWER MAC ADDRESS IS ELECTED STACK MASTER. Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015

  A STACK MASTERRETAINS ITS ROLE UNLESS ONE OF THESE EVENTS OCCURS: THE SWITCH STACK IS RESET. THE STACK MASTER IS REMOVED FROM THE SWITCH STACK. THE STACK MASTER IS RESET OR POWERED OFF. THE STACK MASTER HAS FAILED. Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015
• 9.
  SWITCH STACK CONFIGURATIONFILES • THE CONFIGURATION FILES RECORD SYSTEM-LEVEL (GLOBAL) CONFIGURATION SETTINGS—SUCH AS IP, STP, VLAN, AND SNMP SETTINGS—THAT APPLY TO ALL STACK MEMBERS STACK MEMBER INTERFACE-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION SETTINGS, WHICH ARE SPECIFIC FOR EACH STACK MEMBER NOTE: WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL STACK MEMBERS ARE INSTALLED WITH CISCO IOS RELEASE 12.1(14)EA1 OR LATER TO ENSURE THAT THE INTERFACE-SPECIFIC SETTINGS OF THE STACK MASTER ARE SAVED, IN CASE THE STACK MASTER IS REPLACED WITHOUT SAVING THE RUNNING CONFIGURATION TO THE STARTUP CONFIGURATION. IF A STACK MEMBER FAILS AND YOU REPLACE WITH IT WITH AN IDENTICAL MODEL, THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH AUTOMATICALLY USES THE SAME INTERFACE-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION AS THE FAILED SWITCH. HENCE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO RECONFIGURE THE INTERFACE SETTINGS. THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH MUST HAVE THE SAME STACK MEMBER NUMBER AS THE FAILED SWITCH. Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015

  SWITCH STACK MANAGEMENT CONNECTIVITY YOUMANAGE THE SWITCH STACK AND THE STACK MEMBER INTERFACES THROUGH THE STACK MASTER. YOU CAN USE CLUSTER MANAGEMENT SUITE (CMS), THE CLI, AND SNMP AND CISCOWORKS NETWORK MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS. YOU CANNOT MANAGE STACK MEMBERS ON AN INDIVIDUAL SWITCH BASIS. • CONNECTIVITY TO THE SWITCH STACK THROUGH AN IP ADDRESS THE SWITCH STACK IS MANAGED THROUGH A SINGLE IP ADDRESS. THE IP ADDRESS IS A SYSTEM-LEVEL SETTING AND IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THE STACK MASTER OR TO ANY OTHER STACK MEMBER. NOTE: STACK MEMBERS RETAIN THEIR IP ADDRESSES WHEN YOU REMOVE THEM FROM A SWITCH STACK. TO AVOID A CONFLICT CHANGE THE IP ADDRESS OF THE SWITCH THAT YOU REMOVED FROM THE SWITCH STACK. • CONNECTIVITY TO THE SWITCH STACK THROUGH AN SSH SESSION A SWITCH RUNNING THE CRYPTOGRAPHIC VERSION OF THE SMI OR EMI SOFTWARE IS THE STACK MASTER. NOTE: ENCRYPTION FEATURES ARE UNAVAILABLE IF THE STACK MASTER IS RUNNING THE NONCRYPTOGRAPHIC VERSION OF THE SMI OR EMI SOFTWARE. Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015
• 11.
  • CONNECTIVITY TOTHE SWITCH STACK THROUGH CONSOLE PORTS YOU CAN CONNECT TO THE STACK MASTER THROUGH THE CONSOLE PORT OF ONE OR MORE STACK MEMBERS. NOTE: WE RECOMMEND USING ONLY ONE CLI SESSION WHEN MANAGING THE SWITCH STACK. • CONNECTIVITY TO SPECIFIC STACK MEMBERS IF YOU WANT TO CONFIGURE A SPECIFIC STACK MEMBER PORT, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE STACK MEMBER NUMBER IN THE CLI COMMAND INTERFACE NOTATION. FOR EXAMPLE, SWITCH-2# IS THE PROMPT IN PRIVILEGED EXEC MODE FOR STACK MEMBER 2, AND THE SYSTEM PROMPT FOR THE STACK MASTER IS SWITCH. ONLY THE SHOW AND DEBUG COMMANDS ARE AVAILABLE IN A CLI SESSION TO A SPECIFIC STACK MEMBER. Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015
• 12.
  STACK MEMBER NUMBERS/ PRIORITY VALUES • STACK MEMBER NUMBERS THE STACK MEMBER NUMBER (1 TO 9) IDENTIFIES EACH MEMBER IN THE SWITCH STACK. THE MEMBER NUMBER ALSO DETERMINES THE INTERFACE-LEVEL CONFIGURATION THAT A STACK MEMBER USES. YOU CAN DISPLAY THE STACK MEMBER NUMBER BY USING THE SHOW SWITCH USER EXEC COMMAND. NOTE: IF YOU MANUALLY CHANGE THE NUMBER OF A STACK MEMBER AND NO INTERFACE-LEVEL CONFIGURATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT NEW MEMBER NUMBER, THAT STACK MEMBER RESETS TO ITS DEFAULT CONFIGURATION. • STACK MEMBER PRIORITY VALUES A HIGHER PRIORITY VALUE FOR A STACK MEMBER INCREASES ITS LIKELIHOOD TO BE ELECTED STACK MASTER AND TO RETAIN ITS STACK MEMBER NUMBER. THE PRIORITY VALUE CAN BE 1 TO 15. THE DEFAULT PRIORITY VALUE IS 1. YOU CAN DISPLAY THE STACK MEMBER PRIORITY VALUE BY USING THE SHOW SWITCH USER EXEC COMMAND. NOTE: WE RECOMMEND ASSIGNING THE HIGHEST PRIORITY VALUE TO THE SWITCH THAT YOU PREFER TO BE THE STACK MASTER. THIS ENSURES THAT THE SWITCH IS RE-ELECTED AS STACK MASTER IF A RE-ELECTION OCCURS.

  ASSIGNING A STACKMEMBER NUMBER Command Purpose Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. Step 2 switch current-stack-member-number renumber new-stack-member-number Specify the current stack member number and the new stack member number for the stack member. The stack member number range is 1 to 9. You can display the current stack member number by using the show switch user EXEC command. Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode. Step 4 reload slot stack-member-number Reset the stack member, and apply this configuration change. Step 5 show switch Verify the stack member number. Note: This task is available only from the stack master. In global configuration mode Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015

  SETTING THE STACKMEMBER PRIORITY VALUE Command Purpose Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode. Step 2 switch stack-member- number priority priority- number Specify the stack member number and the priority for the stack member. The stack member number range is 1 to 9. The priority value range is 1 to 15. You can display the current priority value by using the show switch user EXEC command. The new priority value takes effect immediately but does not affect the current stack master. The new priority value helps determine which stack member is elected as the new stack master when the current stack master or switch stack resets. Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode. Step 4 show switch stack- member-number Verify the stack member priority value. Note: This task is available only from the stack master. In global configuration mode Prepared by: iTawy Team 2015
