The Stack Interactive-setup Utility
Stack interactive-setup lets you easily configure your entire stack through the active controller, which propagates the configuration to all stack members. Stack interactive-setup can also be used to add units to an existing stack and to change the stack IDs of stack members.
Stack interactive-setup is the most common way to build a stack and gives you the most control over how your stack is built.
- Authentication of stack interactive-setup packets provides verification that these packets are from a genuine RUCKUS stack unit. MD5-based port verification confirms stacking ports.
- The
stack disablecommand prevents a unit from listening for or sending stacking packets. When a unit is stack-disabled, no other device in the network can force the unit to join a stack.
Stack Interactive-setup and the Active Controller
When the
stack interactive-setup command is issued on a unit that is not already the active controller, the unit becomes
the active controller. If this unit does not already have an assigned priority and
if no other unit in the stack has a priority higher than 128, stack interactive-setup
assigns the unit a priority of 128 by default. However, if another unit in the stack
has a priority of 128 or higher, stack interactive-setup gives the active controller
a priority equal to the highest priority unit in the stack (which is by default the
standby controller).
