Netgear GSM7224v2 - 24-Port Layer 2 Managed Gigabit Switch User Manual

Advanced

From the Advanced link, you can access the following pages:

This page moves the Primary Management Unit functionality from one unit to another. Upon 
execution, the entire stack (including all interfaces in the stack) is unconfiugred and 
reconfigured with the configuration on the new Primary Management Unit. After the reload is 
complete, all stack management capability must be performed on the new Primary 
Management Unit. To preserve the current configuration across a stack move, please save 
the current configuration to the nvram before performing the stack move. A stack move 
causes all routes and layer 2 addresses to be lost. The administrator is prompted to confirm 
the management move.

To display the Stack Configuration page, click System > Stacking > Advanced> Stack 
Configuration. A screen similar to the following displays.

Use Management Unit Selected to select the unit to be managed unit and click APPLY 
to move the management to the selected unit.

Unit ID - Displays the list of units of the stack. Details of the selected unit are displayed. 
There is also an ADD option visible only to Admin users which can be used to pre-configure 
new members of the stack.

Use Switch Type to specify the type of switch hardware when creating a new switch in the 
stack.

Admin Management Preference is a 2-byte field that indicates whether the administrator 
wants this unit to become a management unit in preference to another unit. The default 
value for this setting is one. If the preference level is set to zero then the device cannot 
become a management unit. This field is non-configurable for users with read-only access.

Click ADD to add a unit to the stack with the specific switch type.

Click DELETE to remove the selected unit from the stack.
