Selecting a Switch in an Enhanced Stack
You can use the AT-S60 software to access a remote switch from a
master switch. The remote switch can be either a slave or a master.
When you start a web browser management session on the master
switch, you are addressing only the master switch. Consequently, the
management tasks that you perform only affect the master switch. To
manage a remote switch in the same subnet, you need to select it from
the master switch.
Each switch in a subnet has a unique MAC address. To quickly
differentiate between switches in a subnet, Allied Telesyn suggests
configuring system names. For example, using system names helps you
determine the difference between two AT-8400 switches within the
same subnet. For information about how to assign a system name to an
AT-8400 switch, see Configuring an IP Address and Switch Name on
page 583.
Use this procedure to select a remote switch from a master switch. You
must configure the AT-8400 switch as a master switch to view the
Enhanced Stacking button.
1. From the Home Page, click the Enhanced Stacking button.
Note
If the Home Page does not have an Enhanced Stacking button, the
switch’s enhanced stacking status is either slave or unavailable. For
instructions on how to change a switch’s stacking status, refer to the
previous procedure.
