Configuring a stack (available only on the HP 
5500 SI) 
The stack management feature enables you to configure and monitor a group of connected switches by 
logging in to one switch in the stack, as shown in  Figure 75.

Always start configuring the master device with assigning a private IP address pool for the stack. You 
cannot perform this task after the switch is configured as the master device or a member device.  
Configuring a private IP address pool for the stack 
Make sure that the number of IP addresses in the address pool is equal to or greater than the number of 
devices to be added to the stack. If not, some devi ces cannot automatically join the stack for lack of 
private IP addresses.
