Switch Stack Management and Connectivity

You manage the switch stack through the stack master. You cannot manage stack members 
on an individual basis. To access the stack master, use either a serial connection to the 
switch master’s console port, or a Telnet connection to the IP address of the stack.

You can use these methods to manage switch stacks:

Web Management Interface.

CLI (over a serial connection).

A network management application through SNMP.
