Installation

6.5.2.1 Stacking Architecture
Stacking allows the user to manage the multiple Gigabit
Switch Unit (GSWU) cards in one system as one switch,
instead of individual units and IP addresses. For example, a
set of three blades would appear to the UI as a 24 port
switch instead of three 8-port switches. Stacking works by
assigning a Master Management Card which provides all
the GUI information for all the blades in the same stack. The
CCPU assigns the Master by issuing an IP address via
PAW/PRW. All other GSWU cards detected in the system
are assigned as Slave blades.
A single system can have up to 12 GSWU cards per system.
However, only three GSWU units can be grouped together
forming a single 20 port switch. When more than three
GSWU units are present in a system, the additional units do
not have any software feature specified in this document.
They behave as an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch.
The three GSWU boards can be categorized into one Main
board, with two Add-on boards.
