Below are some frequently asked questions about working with the stack.
Q: How can I find the slot number of the master slot in a stack?
A: To find the slot number of the master slot, log in to any stack node and run the command show stacking.
Q: How would I know whether there is a dual master situation in a stack?
A: A main symptom is loss of IP connectivity. Run the show stacking command to see whether all expected nodes are still in the stack.
Q: How would I find the current topology of the stack?
A: Run show stacking command.
Q: Can I enable EAPS on stacking?
A: Yes. You can enable the EAPS on a stack. EAPS operates in your networks even if an EAPS path crosses through the stacking links. EAPS is not used as a redundancy protocol for the stacking ring.
Q: Why should I configure an alternate IP address?
A: To enable login to an individual node using the management port of the node and to be able to configure a node individually. It is most beneficial in manually resolving a dual master situation since connectivity using the alternate IP address is not affected by the dual master situation.
