Introduction  
Chapter 1  
Chapter 1:  
Introductꢀon  
Thank you for choosing the Linksys 24/48-Port 10/100  
+ 4-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with Resilient Clustering  
Technology and 2 Combo SFPs.  
These switches allow you to expand your network securely.  
Configuration of the switch is secured using SSL for Web  
access. User control is secured using 802.1x security using  
a RADIUS authentication mechanism and can also be  
controlled using MAC filtering.  
Extensive QoS features makes the solution ideal for real-  
time applications like Voice and Video. The four priority  
queues together with the Weighted Round Robin and  
Strict Priority scheduling techniques facilitate efficient  
co-existence of real-time traffic with data traffic allowing  
them each to meet their QoS needs. Individual users or  
applications can be prioritized above others using various  
Class of Service options—by port, Layer 2 priority (802.1p),  
and Layer 3 priority (TOS or DSCP). Intelligent Broadcast  
and Multicast storm control minimize and contain the  
effects of these types of traffic on regular traffic. IGMP  
Snooping limits bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only  
the requestors without flooding to all users. Incoming  
traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic can be shaped  
allowing you to control network access and traffic flow.  
There are features that allow you to expand and grow your  
network of switches. Link aggregation allows multiple  
high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be set up.  
This also provides a level of reliability in that the system  
continues to operate if one of the links breaks. Spanning  
Tree (STP) and Fast Link allow you to build a mesh of  
switches increasing the availibility of the system.  
The rich management functionality of the Smart Switches  
with Resilient Clustering Technology includes SNMP,  
RMON, Telnet, and HTTP Management options, allowing  
you to flexibly integrate and manage these devices in your  
network.  
NOTE: Throughout this User Guide, the term  
reset refers to cycling the power to the Switch;  
that is, powering the Switch off, then on again.

Fast Ethernet Considerations  
If you are using the Switch for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps)  
applications, you must observe the following guidelines:  
Overview  
This chapter will explain how to connect network devices  
to the Switch. The following diagram shows a typical  
network configuration.  
Full-Duplex Considerations  
The Switch provides full-duplex support for its RJ-45  
ports. Full-duplex operation allows data to be sent and  
received simultaneously, doubling a port’s potential data  
throughput. If you will be using the Switch in full-duplex  
mode, the maximum cable length using Category 5 cable  
is 100 meters.

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements  
All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX  
connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing  
that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is  
recommended that for all critical connections, or any  
new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category  
5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The Category  
5e specification includes test parameters that are only  
recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first  
step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running  
1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be  
sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.

5. Connect the Switch to network devices according to  
the Hardware Installation instructions below.  
Cꢀrcuꢀt Overloadꢀng Consideration should be given  
to the connection of the equipment to the supply  
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits  
might have on overcurrent protection and supply  
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment  
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing  
this concern.  
Hardware Installation  
To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these  
instructions:  
1. Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch  
are powered off.  
Relꢀable Earthꢀng Reliable earthing of rack-mounted

Configuring Stacking Mode  
The SLM224G4S and SLM248G4S Switches can operate in  
either standalone mode or stacking mode. In standalone  
mode, the switch operates independently of other  
switches. In stacking mode, multiple Resilient Clustering  
Smart Switches are connected together to effectively form  
a single switch. The default operating mode is stacking  
mode.  
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.  
5. If you are using a miniGBIC port, then connect a  
miniGBIC module to a miniGBIC port. For more detailed  
instructions, refer to “Uplinking the Switch.  
6. Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch’s  
power port, and plug the other end into an electrical  
outlet. When connecting power, always use a surge  
protector.  
A Switch stack can contain any combination of SLM224G4S  
and SLM248G4S units, with the following limits:  
SLM224G4S only: Maximum of 6 units  
SLM248G4S only: Maximum of 4 units  
IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the power  
cord that is supplied with the Switch. Use of a  
different power cord could damage the Switch.  
SLM224G4S and SLM248G4S: Maximum of 192 10/100  
ports (total among all switches)  
7. Power on the devices connected to the Switch. Each  
active port’s corresponding LED will light up on the  
Switch.  
Each switch in a stack is assigned a unique unit number.  
These numbers indicate the switch’s status in the stack:  
Unit 1:The switch is the Master unit.The master handles  
the management functions for the entire stack.  
Uplinking the Switch  
Unit 2:The switch is the Backup Master unit.The backup  
master automatically becomes the new master if the  
master fails.  
To uplink the Switch using a 1000 Mbps Ethernet port,  
connect one end of a Cat 5e (or better) Ethernet network  
cable to a Gigabit port, then connect the other end of the  
cable into the peripheral device’s uplink port. MDI/MDIX  
will automatically detect the speed and cable type.  
Unit 3, 4, 5, 6: The switch is a Slave unit. (Depending on  
the switch models used, 5 and 6 may not be valid.)  
To uplink the Switch using the miniGBIC port, connect  
a miniGBIC module to a miniGBIC port whose shared  
Ethernet port is not being used (a miniGBIC port and its  
shared Ethernet port cannot be used at the same time).  
The following table shows which Ethernet ports are shared  
with the miniGBIC ports.  
TheSwitchesareconnectedtogetherusingapairofGigabit  
ports on each Switch: G1 and G2, G3 and G4, or miniGBIC1  
and miniGBIC2. Linksys recommends using Gigabit ports  
G1 and G2 (the default stacking ports). Connections are  
made using Category 5e Ethernet network cables.  
To set up a stack with six switches, follow these steps:  
1. Connect one end of a Category 5e Ethernet network

For detailed information on switch stacking, refer to  
“Appendix B: About Switch Stacking.”  
11. Connect one end of a Category 5e Ethernet network  
cable to port G1 on Unit 6.  
For more information on stack configuration using the  
Console Interface, refer to “Stack Configuration” and  
“System Mode” in “Chapter 4: Configuration Using the  
Console Interface.  
12. Connect the cable’s other end to port G2 on Unit 1.  
For a stack with less than 6 switches, the steps are similar  
except that port G1 of the last switch in the stack must be  
connected back to port G2 of the fꢀrst switch in the stack.  
For more information on stack configuration using the  
Web-based Utility, refer to “Setup > Stack Management”  
in “Chapter 5: Configuration Using the Web-based Utility.  
The following is an example of setting up a stacked  
configuration using three SLM248G4S switches.  
Reassigning a Slave Unit as the Master Unit  
1. Connect port G1 on Unit 1 to port G2 on Unit 2.  
You can reassign a slave unit so that it becomes the master  
unit. To do this, you swap their unit numbers. For example,  
to make slave unit 5 be the master, you change the master’s  
unit number from 1 to 5 and the slave’s unit number from  
5 to 1. To change the unit numbers, you can use either the  
Web-based utility or the console interface.  
The following describes the procedure for changing a  
slave unit into the master unit. In this example, unit 5 is  
made the master unit.  
1. Swap the unit numbers. That is, change the unit  
number of the current master from 1 to 5, and change  
the unit number of slave unit 5 from 5 to 1. (The order  
in which these are performed is not significant.)  
Connect Unit 1 to Unit 2  
2. Connect port G1 on Unit 2 to port G2 on Unit 3.  
2. Power off the new unit 5 (the former master unit).  
3. Power off the new master unit 1 (the former slave unit  
5) briefly, then power it on again.  
4. Power up the new unit 5.  
NOTE: If unit 2 (the backup master) is made the  
master unit, steps 2 through 4 can be skipped.  
Replacing a Stacked Switch  
To replace one switch in a stack with another switch  
without having to reboot or power down the stack:  
Connect Unit 2 to Unit 3  
3. Connect port G1 on Unit 3 to port G2 on Unit 1.  
1. Run the Web-based utility.  
2. Go to the Setup > Stack Configuration screen.  
3. Make sure that the Stackꢀng Ports After Reset setting  
matches the type of stacking ports (Copper Ports or  
Combo Ports) that are used to connect the switches.  
4. Verify that the Unꢀt No. After Reset settings specify the  
correct unit number for the switch being replaced.  
5. Click Save Settꢀngs to save the stack settings.  
6. Disconnect the switch being replaced, then connect  
the new switch using the same stacking ports (copper  
or combo) as before.  
Connect Unit 3 to Unit 1  
The stack should continue to operate as before.

to the same physical segment.  
To remove a VLAN or a range of VLANs, select the VLANs in  
the VLAN Table, then click Delete.  
VLAN Management > Port Settings  
VLANs help to simplify network management by allowing  
you to move devices to a new VLAN without having  
to change any physical connections. VLANs can be  
easily organized to reflect departmental groups (such  
as Marketing or R&D), usage groups (such as e-mail), or  
multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such  
as videoconferencing). You can create up to 128 VLANs on  
the Switch.  
The Port Settings screen allows you to manage the ports in  
a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured from

Acceptable Frame Type This specifies the type of frames  
that the port will accept. If All (default) is selected, the port  
will accept all frame types, including tagged or untagged  
frames. If Tagged is selected, the port accepts only tagged  
frames. When set to All, each untagged frame received is  
assigned to the specific VLAN that matches the PVID.  
For each port in the VLAN, select the appropriate  
configuration option:  
Tagged The interface is a member of the VLAN. All  
packets transmitted by the port will be tagged and will  
carry VLAN information.  
Untagged The interface is a member of the VLAN. All  
packets transmitted by the port will be untagged and  
will not carry VLAN information.  
PVID Use this field to select the VLAN ID that will be  
assigned to untagged frames received on the port.  
Valid IDs are 1 (default) to 409ꢁ. VLAN 4094 is reserved  
for internal use. VLAN 4095 is defined per standard and  
industry practice as the Discard VLAN. Frames tagged for  
the Discard VLAN are dropped.

The RADIUS screen is used to configure a Remote  
Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server for user  
authentication.  
Security > RADIUS  
RADIUS servers provide additional security for networks  
by providing a centralized authentication method for web  
access. Up to eight RADIUS servers can be configured. The  
Switch attempts authentication using the listed sequence  
of servers. The process ends when a server either approves  
or denies access to a user.  
Security > Storm Control

Broadcast frames accepted and forwarded by the Switch.  
A Broadcast Storm results when an excessive amount of  
broadcast messages is simultaneously transmitted across  
a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses  
are heaped onto the network, straining network resources  
or causing the network to time out.  
IP Address Enter the IP address of the authentication  
server.  
Prꢀorꢀty The server priority. The possible values are 0  
to ꢃꢂꢂꢁꢂ, where 0 is the highest priority. This priority  
determines the order in which RADIUS servers are queried  
when more than one RADIUS server is configured. The  
default priority is 0.  
To enable Storm Control on a port, you specify the packet  
type (broadcast/multicast) and maximum transmission  
rate. The system measures the incoming Broadcast and  
Multicast frame rates separately on each port and discards  
frames when the rate exceeds the specified maximum.  
Authentꢀcatꢀon Port Enter the authentication port. The  
authentication port is used to verify the RADIUS server  
authentication. The default value is 1812.  
Interface Select the unit number and port from which  
storm control is enabled.

QoS  
Network traffic is usually unpredictable, and the only  
basic assurance that can be offered is best effort traffic  
delivery. To overcome this challenge, Quality of Service  
(QoS) is applied throughout the network. This ensures that  
network traffic is prioritized according to specified criteria,  
and that specific traffic receives preferential treatment.  
QoS in the network optimizes network performance and  
entails two basic facilities:  
QoS > CoS Settings  
CoS Settings  
Classifying incoming traffic into handling classes, based  
on an attribute, including:  
QoS Mode Indicates if QoS is enabled. The possible  
values are:

Class of Servꢀce Specifies the CoS priority tag values,  
where 0 is the lowest and is the highest.  
Providing various mechanisms for determining the  
allocation of network resources to different handling  
classes, including:  
Queue Defines the traffic forwarding queue to which the  
CoS priority is mapped. Four traffic priority queues are  
supported.  
The assignment of network traffic to a particular  
hardware queue  
Click Restore Defaults to restore the device factory  
defaults for mapping CoS values to a forwarding queue.

Traffic shaping  
CoS Default  
The terms Class of Service (CoS) and QoS are used in the  
following context:  
Unꢀt No. The unit to which the CoS configuration applies  
.
CoS provides varying Layer 2 traffic services. CoS  
refers to classifying traffic into traffic classes, where  
each class is handled as an aggregate whole, with no  
per-flow settings. CoS is usually related to the 802.1p  
service that classifies flows according to their Layer 2  
priority, as set in the VLAN header.  
Default CoS Determines the default CoS value for  
incoming packets for which a VLAN tag is not defined. The  
possible field values are 0-. The default CoS is 0.  
LAG The LAG to which the port belongs, if relevant. If the  
port is a member of a LAG, the LAG settings override the  
port settings.  
QoS refers to Layer 2 traffic and above. QoS handles  
per-flow settings, even within a single traffic class.

Appendꢀx A  
Appendꢀx A:  
About Gꢀgabꢀt Ethernet  
and Fꢀber Optꢀc Cablꢀng  
Gigabit Ethernet  
Gigabit Ethernet runs at speeds of 1Gbps (Gigabit per  
second), ten times faster than 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, but  
it still integrates seamlessly with 100Mbps Fast Ethernet  
hardware. Users can connect Gigabit Ethernet hardware  
with either fiber optic cabling or copper Category  
5e cabling, with fiber optics more suited for network  
backbones. As the Gigabit standard gradually integrates  
into existing networks, current computer applications will  
enjoy faster access time for network data, hardware, and  
Internet connections.  
Fiber Optic Cabling  
Fiber optic cabling is made from flexible, optically efficient  
strands of glass and coated with a layer of rubber tubing,  
fiber optics use photons of light instead of electrons to  
send and receive data. Although fiber is physically capable  
of carrying terabits of data per second, the signaling  
hardware currently on the market can handle no more  
than a few gigabits of data per second.  
Fiber cables come with two main connector types. The  
most commonly used fiber optic cable is multi-mode  
fiber cable (MMF), with a 62,5 micron fiber optic core.  
Single-mode fiber cabling is somewhat more efficient  
than multi-mode but far more expensive, due to its smaller  
optic core that helps retain the intensity of traveling light  
signals. A fiber connection always require two fiber cables:  
one transmits data, and the other receives it.  
Each fiber optic cable is tipped with a connector that fits  
into a fiber port on a network adapter, hub, or switch.  
In the USA, most cables use a square SC connector that  
slides and locks into place when plugged into a port or  
connected to another cable. In Europe, the round ST  
connector is more prevalent.  
For Gigabit Ethernet, you must use the Linksys MGBT1,  
MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 miniGBIC modules with the Linksys  
Gigabit Switches. The MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require  
fiber cabling with LC connectors, and the MGBT1 requires  
a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.  
For Fast Ethernet, you must use the MFEFX1 (100BASE-FX)  
or MFELX1 (100BASE-LX) SFP transceivers.

About Switch Stacking  
Appendꢀx B  
Building a New Stack  
Appendꢀx B:  
About Swꢀtch Stackꢀng  
A switch may operate in one of two modes: Stack or  
Standalone. You can select either mode during software  
boot or using the web-based utility’s Setup > Summary  
screen, with the new mode taking effect after the unit is  
reset. The factory default is Stack mode.  
To build a new self-ordering stack, use a group of switches,  
each of which is set to the factory defaults.  
All that is necessary to do is to connect the units physically  
(through the stacking ports, using standard Ethernet  
cables) and turn the units on. After a short interval the stack  
will become operational with one of the units selected as  
the Master of the stack. The unit selected as Master will  
be indicated by the Stack Master LED on its front panel lit  
amber. If a serial console connection is desired, the serial  
cable should be connected to the console port of the unit  
serving as stack Master.  
Standalone Mode  
A switch operating in Standalone mode runs as an  
independent, single unit. All ports of a standalone switch  
operate as normal Ethernet links. A Standalone switch  
does not participate in a Stack even if physically connected  
to a Stack.  
If the units to be used in building the new stack were used  
before then it is highly recommended to reset them back  
to factory default (by holding the reset button for at least  
10 seconds) and proceeding as described above.  
Stack Mode  
Adding Units to a Running Stack  
A switch operating in Stack mode is not an independent  
unit, but a member of an organized group of switches  
known as a Stack. A Stack consists of one Master control  
switch, a Master Backup switch, and up to four Stack  
Member SLM224G4S switches, or up to two Stack Member  
SLM248G4S switches.  
Restore the factory defaults to each of the units to be  
added to the stack. Then connect the units physically to  
the stack and turn the units on. After a short while the new  
units will become stack members.  
Manually Ordered Stack  
As a special case, a unit in Stack mode not connected  
to any other units may operate as a “stack–of-one.  
The system administrator can manually decide which unit  
will be the Master. To do that the system administrator  
has to assign a unique Unit ID from 1 to 6 (1 to 4 for  
SLM248G4S-only stacks) to each stack member.  
NOTE: When a unit is in Stack mode, two of  
its ports are reserved for use with stacking  
links, and cannot be used for regular network  
connections.  
NOTE: It is highly recommended that if any  
unit is assigned its Unit ID manually, then all  
the units be assigned their Unit IDs manually.  
Two ports of each unit in Stack mode (ports G1 and G2)  
are reserved for stacking links, and cannot be used for  
regular network connections.  
It is NOT recommended to have a mixed case  
with some Unit IDs assigned manually, and  
others automatically allocated at runtime by  
the stack Master (even though such a mixed  
stack may well function flawlessly).  
Stack Building Quick Start  
Stacking allows you to build a switch with many more  
ports than would be available in a single unit. The stack is  
managed by one of the units called the Master and all the  
other units serve as ports only.  
Building a New Stack  
Reset all of the units to the factory defaults and build the  
stack as described above in“Normal (Self-Ordering) Stack.  
Then, when the stack is operational, assign each unit with  
its desired number, making sure no duplicates exist, and  
reset the stack.  
When building a stack there are two distinct cases:  
Building a stack from scratch  
Adding units to a running (operational) stack to make  
it bigger  
Adding Units to a Running Stack  
Normal (Self-Ordering) Stack  
The easiest way to build a stack is to have the switches’  
automatically determine their order in the stack.  
Restore the factory defaults to each of the units to be  
added to the stack. Then, connect the units physically to  
the stack and turn the units on. After a short while they  
will become stack members, but will have auto-assigned  
Unit IDs. Assign each such unit its desired Unit ID (using

the Console port, Telnet or Web-based Utility) and reset  
the units to make this assignment permanent.  
Units that are assigned Unit IDs 3-6 (SLM224G4S) or  
Unit IDs 3-4 (SLM248G4S) are called Stack Members.  
A stack member will only operate as a member of  
the stack under the direction of an operational stack  
Master (or a Backup Master that has taken over the  
role).  
The unit that is assigned number 1 will act as the Master;  
this is indicated by the Stack Master LED on its front panel  
being lit amber. The unit that is assigned number 2 will act  
as the Backup Master.  
Stack members are not directly manageable and  
configurable, and must be managed through the  
stack Master, and do not contain any meaningful  
configuration information (not even their own  
configuration). If an operational master is not present  
and reachable, these units will not be functional.  
Stack Resiliency  
A stack’s topology may be either Ring or Chain. The best  
practice is to configure the stack in Ring topology, due to  
its higher resiliency in case of unit failure or stacking link  
failure.  
Master Enabled units  
Additionally, if a redundant power supply is used, it is  
recommended to make sure that the Master and Backup  
Master units are connected to the redundant power  
supply.  
Units that are assigned a unit ID number of 1 or 2 are  
calledmasterenabledunits.Onlymasterenabledunits  
participate in master election (see below) whenever  
they are initiated, inserted into a new stack or lose  
connectivity with the existing master. Only master  
enabled units can become the stack master or backup  
master. Units with assigned IDs of 3-6 (SLM224G4S)  
or 3-4 (SLM248G4S) can become neither a master nor  
a backup master unless this is done manually by the  
system administrator or they are reset to the factory  
default first.  
Advanced Stacking  
In order to understand the operation of the stack it is  
necessary to understand two key concepts:  
Unit IDs, and how they are allocated  
Stack unit start up process  
Unit IDs  
Unit ID Allocation  
Each unit in a stack has an assigned unique Unit ID number.  
Unit ID numbers are meaningful as follows:  
Units are shipped from the factory with no Unit ID, and  
must be assigned a unique Unit ID before they can operate  
as part of a stack. Unit ID numbers are assigned to units in  
one of two ways:  
The unit that is assigned Unit ID=1 will serve as the  
Stack Master. All other units will be stack members.  
Assigned by the system administrator, in which case  
they can only be changed manually by the system  
administrator  
The stack Master provides a single point of control,  
configuration and management for the entire stack,  
and stores the configuration for all stack members  
(which themselves do not store any configuration  
information at all).  
Allocated to a stack member unit by the stack Master  
during system initialization  
The unit that is assigned Unit ID=2 is a special stack  
member, which serves as the Stack Backup Master.  
In general, a unit that was assigned a Unit ID will tend  
to keep this number even after it is rebooted. The stack  
Master may reallocate Unit IDs during system initialization  
to resolve duplicate Unit ID conflicts (see below). Manually  
assigned Unit IDs cannot be changed by the stack Master,  
even if they are in conflict.  
A stack Backup Master, in addition to being a stack  
member, serves as a Backup in case the stack Master  
fails or is disconnected for any reason. If that should  
happen, the Backup Master takes over the role of stack  
Master for the remaining stack members.  
Unit ID assignment/change takes effect only during  
system initialization and does not take place during run-  
time of the system.  
To make this possible, the stack Master will store a copy  
of the active configuration on the Backup Master, but  
this copy will only be used if and when it takes over the  
role of stack Master. Note that only the configuration  
file is copied. Any dynamically filled tables, e.g.  
addresses learned, are not copied from the Master to  
the Backup Master. If the Backup Master takes over  
the role of stack Master, it will start building its own  
dynamic tables from scratch.  
Units of a stack do not have to be numbered in sequence  
or in order, and may be interconnected as desired, as long  
as each unit has a unique ID and at least one unit of the  
stack serves as stack Master.

ID was originally assigned automatically or manually.  
(Such units are called Master-enabled units).  
Stack Units Startup Process  
Whenever a unit in stack mode is initialized (powered  
up or rebooted) it goes through the same exact process,  
consisting of the following three steps:  
If there is only one such unit, it will be selected as  
the stack Master (even if its Unit ID=2).  
If there are two such units, the two units will  
decide which of them is the Master by checking:  
1. Master Discovery/Election.  
2. Unit ID allocation by the Master (including duplicate  
Unit ID conflict resolution)  
Which one has been running for a longer time  
(in increments of 10 minutes). The unit running  
for a longer time will be the stack Master.  
3. Unit/port configuration by the Master  
If they have been running for the same amount  
of time, Unit ID=1 will be the stack Master.  
Master Discovery  
Whenever a unit in stack mode initializes, its behavior will  
depend on its Unit ID (if any).  
If both units have been running for the same  
amount of time and both units have the same  
Unit ID, the unit with a lower MAC address will  
be selected as stack Master.  
If the unit does not have a current Unit ID (that is, the  
unit is in factory default mode).  
3. Otherwise, if the stack contains one or more units  
without a current Unit ID (that is to say in factory  
default state), then the stack Master will be one of  
these units. The unit selected to be the Master will be  
the one running for the longest time (in increments  
of 10 minutes) or, if all units are running for the  
same amount of time, the one with the lowest MAC  
address.  
If there is a master, the unit performs Unit ID Allocation  
(refer to section “Unit ID Allocation and Duplicate Unit  
ID Conflict Resolution”), where it will get a number from  
the master. If there is no master, then it will participate  
in Master-election, and may even end up as the new  
master or backup master.  
If the unit’s current Unit ID is 1 or 2 (previously allocated,  
perhaps even in a different stack), then the unit will  
participate in the Master election.  
The end result of Master Election is that the stack has a  
stack Master. The Stack master has unit ID=1 and the  
Backup Master, if it exists, unit ID=2. Alternatively, the  
Stack master has unit ID=2 and the Backup Master, if it  
exists, unit ID=1.  
If the unit has a current Unit ID (previously allocated,  
perhaps even in a different stack), it will try to use this  
number in the new stack. If the unit’s current Unit ID is  
3-6 (3-4 for SLM248G4S), then it will try and connect  
to the running stack Master, and will not proceed to  
the next stage until contact with the Master is made. In  
particular, such units will NOT participate in the Master  
election process, and if no Master is present, the units  
will be effectively shut down.  
If a Master-enabled (Unit ID=1 or 2) unit is added to a  
stack and turned on, then when it comes up, it will invoke  
master-election, even though the rest of the stack already  
has an elected master. Because it is new, it will lose the  
election and join as a member or backup master.  
Unit ID Allocation and Duplicate Unit ID Conflict Resolution  
Both the master and all other stack units carry out a  
continuous process of master discovery by frequently  
exchanging stack control messages. This allows them to  
discover whenever a unit fails or becomes unreachable.  
Once a stack Master is elected, it will allocate Unit IDs to  
units that do not have a currently assigned Unit ID (that is,  
units in factory default mode).  
Master Election  
In addition, the stack Master will try to resolve all cases of  
units with duplicate Unit IDs. This is done by changing the  
Unit IDs of offending units that have a duplicate current  
Unit ID, provided that there are available, unused Unit  
IDs.  
Whenever a unit (or more than one) in stack mode comes  
up, one of the units is elected to be the stack Master. The  
unit selected as Stack Master is chosen as follows:  
1. If a unit in the stack was set to “Force Master” by the  
system administrator, that unit will be the stack Master.  
Only master enabled stack units, i.e. unit ID=1 or unit  
ID=2 can be selected as “Force Master.  
In the case of a merged stack scenario, units that were  
initially in the sub-group of the Master that remained as  
Master will have the same unit IDs as they had before.  
Members of the other sub-group will be renumbered.  
2. Otherwise, if the stack contains units whose unique  
Unit ID is either 1 or 2, then one of these two units  
will be the stack Master. It does not matter if the Unit  
If the conflict occurs after the units reboot then the  
following will take place:

(if it exists).  
User Controls  
Using either the CLI or the graphical user interface (GUI),  
the user can configure the following settings:  
If one of the duplicates is in auto (self ordering)  
mode and the other unit is in manual mode then the  
manual mode unit will keep its ID and the other will be  
reassigned a new unit ID.  
Set the operational mode of the unit (which will take  
effect after next reboot) – Standalone or Stack.  
If both duplicate units are in manual mode then both  
of them will be shut down.  
Force a unit to be the stack Master after the next reset  
If the stack Master is able to allocate a unique Unit ID to  
each unit, then all units can operate as a stack. If the stack  
Master is unable to allocate a Unit ID to any unit, that unit  
is effectively shut down and will not participate in the  
stack.  
Assign a static Unit ID, or, allow the unit to be  
renumbered.  
Stacking Examples  
Replacing a Failed Stack Member in a Running  
Stack  
In this example, a non-master unit fails in a running stack.  
When notified of the failure, a system administrator  
removes the failed unit and replaces it with another one.  
In particular, units with a conflicting manually set Unit ID  
number will be shut down because the Master cannot  
override the system administrator’s assignment to resolve  
the conflict.  
If there are more units than the maximum number allowed  
in a stack and the incoming units are already in factory  
default state (which means they do not have unit ID  
assigned) then a Master will be elected following Master  
Discovery and Master Election processes. All other units  
will remain shut down. Please note that in some extreme  
cases, due to a race condition during the boot process,  
some of the units might be connected and join the stack..  
If the incoming units already have a unit ID then none of  
them will join the stack and all will be left in shutdown  
mode (since there is no way to know which of them are  
preferable).  
When the unit fails, the stack Master detects (via the  
ongoing Master Discovery process) that the unit no longer  
responds, and directs all other stack members to route  
unit-to-unit traffic around the failed unit using the ring  
topology of the stacking connections. At the same time  
the stack Master notifies the system administrator (using  
SYSLOG messages and SNMP traps) of the failure.  
When the failed unit is disconnected from the stack, all  
traffic will already be routed around it, and as long as all  
other stacking connections are left intact, the stack should  
continue to run.  
NOTE: If a unit is shut down, its stacking  
links will be inactive. Moreover, if the stacking  
units are connected in a chain topology, the  
shutdown of one unit breaks the chain and may  
cause other units to be shut down if they have  
no active link to the Master unit.  
When a new unit is inserted in the stack and powered up,  
the following will happen:  
1. The incoming unit, being in stack mode, will perform  
Master dꢀscovery, and perhaps participate in a Master  
Electꢀon, as described above for any stacking-mode  
unit powering up.  
If the incoming unit has a Unit ID of 1 or 2, i.e. it  
is a master enabled unit, it will initiate a Master  
Election. However, since the running stack Master  
has a longer run time, it will remain elected as  
the stack Master and the incoming unit will not  
become a new stack Master.  
Unit and Port Configuration  
At this point, each unit in the stack has a unique Unit-ID;  
one of the units is the stack Master, and, possibly, one of  
the units serves as Backup Master. The stack Master will  
now configure each of the member units and its ports  
according to the configuration file present on the Master.  
If the incoming unit has a Unit ID of 3 to 6 (3 to 4  
for SLM248G4S), it will try to become a member  
unit of the stack subject to the already running  
stack Master, and Master Election will not take  
place.  
If the stack has a Backup Master the configuration file will  
also be copied to the Backup Master.  
Once all the units and ports are configured, the stack will  
go into normal operational mode. If any change is made  
to the system configuration, the change will be stored by  
2. The stack Master at this stage will carry out a Unꢀt ID  
allocatꢀon and conflꢀct resolutꢀon process.

Appendꢀx B  
If the incoming unit did not have an assigned Unit  
ID (that is, it was in factory default mode), it will  
be assigned the lowest available Unit ID by the  
Master. It is strongly recommended that automatic  
assigned unit ID mode be used since it provides  
better resiliency to the stack.  
If a 48-port unit replaces a 24-port unit, then  
the first 24 ports of the incoming unit will be  
configured according to the way the ports of the  
failed unit were configured, and the rest of the  
ports of the incoming unit will be configured at  
default settings.  
If the incoming unit already has an assigned Unit  
ID, and that Unit ID is unused in the current stack,  
the incoming unit will keep its assigned Unit ID  
and the Master will apply to it any configuration  
relevant to that Unit ID.  
If the units (the failed one and its replacement)  
had/have uplink ports, then the first uplink of  
the incoming unit will be configured as was the  
first uplink of the failed unit, and so on.  
Stack Master Failure and Replacement  
In this example, the master unit fails in a running stack.  
When notified of the failure, a system administrator  
removes the failed unit and replaces it with another one.  
If the incoming unit already has an assigned Unit  
ID, and that Unit ID conflicts with a unit ID in the  
current stack, the Master will reallocate a new  
Unit ID to the incoming unit, giving it the lowest  
available Unit ID (assuming, of course, that the  
incoming unit does not have a manually assigned  
Unit ID, which the Master cannot change).  
When the unit fails, the stack Backup Master detects (via  
the ongoing monitoring Master Discovery process) that  
the master unit no longer responds and takes over as the  
stack master. The backup master directs all other stack  
members to route unit-to-unit traffic around the failed  
unit using the ring topology of the stacking connections.  
At the same time the stack Backup Master notifies the  
system administrator (using SYSLOG messages and SNMP  
traps) of the failure.  
If the incoming unit cannot be assigned an  
available Unit ID for any reason (in the case of unit  
replacement that can only happen if the incoming  
unit has a manually assigned Unit ID), then it will  
be effectively shut down—that is, it will not be  
joined to the stack.  
3. The stack Master will now carry out Unꢀt and port

traffic will already be routed around it, and as long as all

confꢀguratꢀon for the incoming unit.  
Any configuration information the Master has  
that is relevant to the number assigned to the  
incoming unit will be applied. In particular, if the  
incoming unit was assigned the same Unit ID of  
the unit it replaces, then it will receive the same  
configuration as the failed unit, to the extent  
possible.  
When a new unit is inserted in the stack and powered up,  
the following will happen:  
1. The incoming unit will perform Master dꢀscovery, and  
perhaps participate in a Master Electꢀon, as described  
above.  
If the incoming unit is identical in makeup to the  
replaced unit, the entire configuration of the replaced  
unit will be applied to the incoming one and the stack  
will go back to the state it was in before unit failure.  
However, sometimes the incoming unit is not identical  
to the unit that failed in these cases. The stack Master  
will apply the configuration in the following manner:  
If the incoming unit has a Unit ID of 1 or 2 (that  
is, the unit is a master-enabled unit), then Master  
Election will be initiated. However, since the  
running stack Backup Master has a longer run  
time, assuming that it has been running for more  
then 10 minutes, it will remain elected as the stack  
Master and the incoming unit will not become a  
new stack Master. This may result in an incoming  
unit using Unit ID=1, and serving as the stack  
backup master, while the already running unit  
with Unit ID=2 remains the active stack master.  
If a 24-port unit replaces a failed 48-port unit,  
then the ports of the incoming unit will be  
configured according to the way the first 24  
ports of the failed unit were configured.  
(Note that the configuration of all 48 ports of the  
failed unit is remembered, even though only the  
first 24 are currently applied. If, in the future, a 48  
port unit is inserted and assigned the same Unit  
ID, it will be configured as the original failed 48-  
port unit was configured).  
2. The stack Master at this stage will carry out a Unꢀt ID  
allocatꢀon and conflꢀct resolutꢀon process.  
If the incoming unit did not have an assigned Unit  
ID (that is, it was in factory default mode), it will  
be assigned the lowest available Unit ID by the  
Master. It is strongly recommended that automatic  
assigned unit ID mode be used since it provides  
better resiliency to the stack.

Appendꢀx B  
If the incoming unit already has an assigned Unit  
ID, and that Unit ID is unused in the current stack,  
the incoming unit will keep its assigned Unit ID  
and the Master will apply to it any configuration  
relevant to that Unit ID.  
Since this subgroup contains both master and backup,  
the subgroup works, and the other subgroup will not  
work. Refer to step 3 below for detailed information.  
The sequence of actions is as follows:  
a. The Master Discovery, Master Election and Unit ID  
Allocation & Duplicate Unit ID Conflict Resolution  
processes will be executed.  
If the incoming unit already has an assigned Unit  
ID, and that Unit ID conflicts with a unit ID in the  
current stack, the Master will reallocate a new  
Unit ID to the incoming unit, giving it the lowest  
available Unit ID (assuming, of course, that the  
incoming unit does not have a manually assigned  
Unit ID, which the Master cannot change).  
b. Any configuration information that the Master  
has that is relevant to the units remaining in the  
subgroup will remain unchanged.  
c. Topology information (the information for each  
unit on how to send traffic to any other unit in the  
stack) managed by the master will include only  
units that are reachable (connected) following the  
split.  
If the incoming unit cannot be assigned an  
available Unit ID for any reason (in the case of unit  
replacement that can only happen if the incoming  
unit has a manually assigned Unit ID), then it will  
be effectively shut down—that is, it will not be  
joined to the stack.  
d. The subgroup continues to work as before, except  
that the number of the unit is lower than prior to  
the split.  
3. The stack Master will now carry out Unꢀt and port  
confꢀguratꢀon for the incoming unit.  
e. No unit ID changes are made in either subgroup.  
Any configuration information the Master has  
that is relevant to the number assigned to the  
incoming unit will be applied. In particular, if the  
incoming unit was assigned the same Unit ID of  
the unit it replaces, then it will receive the same  
configuration as the failed unit, to the extent  
possible, as described in section “Replacing a  
Failed Stack Member in a Running Stack“ above.  
f. The Master notifies the system administrator (using  
SYSLOG messages and SNMP traps) of the removed  
units and ports which belong to the unreachable  
units and will be reported as ‘not present.  
Subgroup Contains Either Master Unit or Backup Master Unit  
If the Master unit remains in this subgroup,  
this is the same as described in section  
“Replacing a Failed Stack Member in a Running  
Stack” above. If the Backup Master unit remains in  
this subgroup, then this is the same as section “Stack  
Master Failure and Replacementabove.  
Splitting a Stack  
In this example, let us assume that a working stack is  
split into two groups, either by failure of a stacking link  
connecting two units in the stack or by a failed unit in a  
chain topology which causes disconnection between two  
units in the stack. In this case we should consider each  
subgroup as an independent running stack configuration.  
For each subgroup three suboptions will be considered:  
It should be emphasized that if the stack is split into  
two parts, one with the master and one with the  
backup, both parts will work.  
The sequence of actions is as follows:  
Both the Master unit and the Backup master unit are  
part of the subgroup.  
a. The Master Discovery, Master Election and Unit ID  
Allocation & Duplicate Unit ID Conflict Resolution  
processes will be executed.  
Either the Master unit or the Backup master unit are  
part of the subgroup.  
b. If the subgroup contains the Master unit, the  
stack Master notices (using the master detection  
process) that some units no longer respond. At  
the same time the stack Master notifies the system  
administrator (using SYSLOG messages and SNMP  
traps) of the removed units and ports which belong  
to the unreachable units and will be reported as  
‘not present.  
Neither the Master unit nor the Backup Master unit are  
part of the subgroup.  
The following describes what happens within each  
subgroup for each of these three suboptions.  
Subgroup Contains Both Master Unit and Backup Master Unit  
Nothing changes, except the master sees the missing  
units as having been removed, and routes traffic  
around them, as described in section “Replacing a  
Failed Stack Member in a Running Stackabove.  
c. If the subgroup contains the Backup Master unit,  
the Backup Master will see as a case of Master  
failure and take over and manage the remaining  
units as a stack, while keeping its number as it was

before the split. Since the Backup Master was not  
acting as a master prior to the split, it will initiate  
a topology database and port-learning process.  
Traffic might be halted for a short period of time  
until synchronization (unit and port configuration)  
is completed. New units learned by the Backup  
Master will notify the system administrator (using  
SYSLOG messages and SNMP traps).  
The incoming units are turned off before insertion and  
then powered back up afterward  
The two stacks are kept running during the insertion  
(for example, the stacking cables of the two stacks are  
connected)  
Incoming Units Turned Off Before Insertion, then Turned On  
After Insertion  
d. In either case (steps b and c above), the subgroup  
will continue to work as it did before the split,  
except that the number of units is lower than prior  
to the split.  
This is exactly the same as inserting units into a running  
stack (refer to “Replacing a Failed Stack Member in a  
Running Stack”). The only difference is that more than  
one unit will be inserted into the stack and therefore for  
each unit inserted to the stack the same process will be  
executed.  
e. No unit ID changes are made in either subgroup.  
f. Each new stack will have a Master (one has the  
original Master, the other has the Backup). They  
thus operate as two separate stacks, both having  
the same configuration and hence the same IP  
address.  
Both Stacks Kept Running During Insertion  
If each of the joined stacks has a Master unit, both Master  
units will perform Master discovery and participate in a  
Master Election, as described above. One of the Master  
units will be selected as the Master unit—for the merged  
stack. The criteria for choosing the master are:  
WARNING: Both resulting stacks will have the  
same IP Address. This may lead to problems on  
the network, since there would be no way for  
users to connect to one of the stacks through  
its IP address.  
Force Master  
System Up Time  
Lowest Unit ID  
Lowest MAC  
Subgroup Contains Neither Master Unit nor Backup Master  
Unit  
The process of master selection between the two master  
units is as follows:  
Please note that this is exactly the same as the case of a  
failed master, where no backup is available.  
If force master is enabled then the unit which is forced  
is chosen.  
In this case the units with ID 3-6 (3-4 for SLM248G4S) in  
this subgroup will not renumber themselves, and will  
remain shut down until a stack Master enabled unit is  
connected, and starts to operate as stack master. It is  
the responsibility of the Master-discovery process to  
see that the master is gone.  
Up time is measured by quantities of periods of 10  
minutes. If the number of 10 minute periods is higher  
for one of the units then this unit is chosen.  
If both units have the same up time (measured in  
periods of 10 minutes) the unit with the lowest unit  
ID is elected.  
In this subgroup, the units lose connection with the  
Master. Since they started as a running stack and none  
of them are in factory default mode, renumbering will  
not take place, and even a Reset of the units will not  
affect unit ID assignment (As noted above, units can  
be renumbered only by a stack Master).  
If both Master unit IDs are equal the unit with the  
Lower MAC is chosen.  
The Master unit that loses its“mastership”in the Master  
election process will be renumbered if the unit ID was  
dynamically allocated. renumbering will now allocate  
it a new number by the new Master, as a stack member,  
or possibly Backup Master. It should be emphasized  
that in no case will there be two units with the same  
Unit ID at the end of this process.  
No unit ID changes are made in either subgroup.  
Again it should be emphasized that none of the units in  
either half of the stack will renumber themselves.  
Merging Two Stacks  
In this example, the user would like to merge two working  
stacks and create one stack out of those two stacks. In this  
example one should distinguish between two scenarios:  
The Master unit that loses its mastership in the Master  
election process will be shut down if the unit ID was  
manually allocated. It is recommended that the  
administrator configure it to auto-assigned Unit ID  
before reconnecting it to the stack.

Appendꢀx B  
It should be emphasized that when two stacks are  
combined, all of the configuration information for one of  
the stacks will be lost. Only the surviving master (after the  
discovery/election process completes) will maintain its  
configuration information.  
2. A running group of units is added to an existing stack,  
assuming each one of the stack groups has an elected  
Master. The total of existing units and inserted units  
would exceed the maximum allowed number of units  
in a stack, which is 6 units for SLM224G4S, or 4 units  
for SLM248G4S:  
The best practice to combine two stacks is to reset the  
switches in one stack to the factory defaults and then  
add the switches as described in the “Adding Units to  
a Running Stack” subsection of section “Normal (Self-  
Ordering) Stack).”  
Master Detection and Master Election processes  
would determine the master out of one of two  
combined stacking groups.  
When switches are added to a running stack,  
the Unit ID Allocation and Duplicate ID Conflict  
Resolution process will detect an error if too many  
switches are present in the stack, and no changes  
will be made to units that originally belonged  
to the group managed by the newly elected  
master. The original switches will retain their ID  
assignments and configurations. The units that  
originally belonged to the group managed by  
the master that lost its master status will be shut  
down.  
If one of the merged stacks had neither a Master unit  
nor a Backup Master unit, then units belonging to  
this group will be inserted into the stack in the exact  
way as described in section “Replacing a Failed Stack  
Member in a Running Stack” above. The Master will  
either connect the running units to the stack using the  
current numbers or will renumber them as necessary.  
The process described in section ““Replacing a Failed  
Stack Member in a Running Stack” applies to this case  
as well.  
It should be emphasized that any time two stacks are  
combined into one stack, there is no way to maintain  
the configuration for both sets of switches. All dynamic  
information of the units that belong to the portion of  
the stack that was not reelected to be the master will be  
relearned.  
Standalone Unit Inserted into a Running Stack  
Since the unit is in standalone mode it will not participate  
in a master discovery process (it will not look for a master  
and will not respond to master queries). As a result it will  
not join the stack but will continue to run as a standalone  
manageable unit.  
Stacking Cable Failure  
The ports that are connected to the other units’ stacking  
links will not pass any traffic, and the master will consider  
them as failed stacking links and route all traffic around  
them.  
In this example, let us assume that stacking connection  
cables failed and caused a stack split, as described in  
section “Splitting a Stack.When the stacking cable  
connection is fixed and units are reconnected, it results in  
merging two stacks as described in section “Merging Two  
Stacks.”  
This scenario is feasible only if the topology of the stack  
is Chain topology. Single stacking cable failure will not  
cause a stack split if a Ring topology is used.  
Inserting Too Many Units  
In this example, a user tries to insert too many units into  
a stack.  
1. All units (existing and newly inserted) are powered on  
at the same time:  
A Master is elected following the Master Discovery  
and Master Election processes.  
All other units will shut down.  
NOTE: In some extreme cases, due to a race  
condition during the boot process, some of the  
units might be connected and join the stack.
