Stacking different MAS models

  • 1.  Stacking different MAS models

    Posted Jul 16, 2014 02:58 PM

    Is it correct that different models can be in the same stack?  I want to connect an S1500-12 to a single S3500 in a pair of S3500s.  I'm just looking to make administration a bit easier by having one less switch to manage.  Assuming different models can be stacked, if I make sure the S3500s have a higher priority than the S1500 would this be an acceptable config?

     

    Also, is there a distance limitation for stacking?

     

    The topoogy would be:

     

       |                                                        |

       | uplink                                            | uplink

       |                                                        |

    [S3500] ===dual connected=== [S3500]

       |

       | stack connection

       |

    [S1500]

    You can mix stacks of 2500s and 3500s.    1500s can only stack with other 1500s.

    1500s can only stack with 1500s. 2500 and 3500s can stack together.

    Elhaoudi,

    The latter two uplink ports of the S2500s are enabled for stacking by default and dynamic election is the default method for stacking. Do your two switches already have configurations on them hence the comment about the "merge"? I would recommend that you decide which switch config you want to keep and factory default the other, set the election priority of the member that you're keeping the config to 255, write mem and then attach the second switch.

     

    Best regards,
