Stack configur ation 51 Cascade up stack configuration Regardless of stack configuration, the follo wing applies: • When pow er is applied to the stac k the base unit initializes , typically within 60 seconds, and the entire stac k powers up as a single logical unit. • A RS-232 communications cable can be attached to the console por t of any[...]

52 Nor tel Ether net Routing Switch 2500 Series stacking This automatic f ailov er is only a temporar y saf eguard.

If the unit is a Stack Enabled ERS 2500 switch, then[...]

Auto Unit Replacement 55 A TTENTION A UR is intended for a stac k configuration of two or more units. In a two-unit stack configuration, if a unit fails, the remaining unit becomes a standalone switch. A UR loads the configuration of the failed unit in the replacement of ERS 2500 Ser ies unit if the failed unit was a non-Base Unit. A UR is not d[...]
