HOW DO YOU STACK 2 CISCO 3550 CATALYST SWITCHES?
November 17th, 2009
I now have 1 Cisco 3550 switch but have filled up all the GBIC ports with 2970 switches, i need some-more 2970 switches combined to the LAN, i have an additional gangling 3550 switch but need to know how to smoke-stack both 3550’s to give me this larger capacity? I hold i need a Gigastack GBIC Connector to bond both 3550’s together but what do i do then? How do i configure them? certainly it’s not as simply as block and play? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Finchè you& #039; king operation a broadcasting dominion slowly (no vlans), you can hardly insert gigastacks the place and the life sarà good. If you have a segmentato dominion of broadcasting, you will have to shape the room of equilibrium with the precisazione of the type of the room of equilibrium (IE 802. 1q)

Have fun but be safe!
Hope you’re a bit of a boffin. I have listed some general info below however the Cisco 3550 is now end of life so you may wish to go down another route. In any event follow this link http://www. cisco. com/en/US/products/hw/s…
everything you need to know is there.
A switch cluster is a group of connected Catalyst switches that are managed as a single entity. In a switch cluster, 1 switch must be the command switch and up to 15 switches can be member switches. The total number of switches in a cluster cannot exceed 16 switches. The command switch is the single point of access used to configure, manage, and monitor the member switches. Cluster members can belong to only one cluster at a time.
The benefits of clustering switches include:
Management of Catalyst switches regardless of their interconnection media and their physical locations. The switches can be in the same location, or they can be distributed across a Layer 2 or Layer 3 (if your cluster is using a Catalyst 3550 multilayer switch as a Layer 3 router between the Layer 2 switches in the cluster) network.
Cluster members are connected to the command switch according to the connectivity guidelines described in the “Automatic Discovery of Cluster Candidates and Members” section. This section includes management VLAN considerations for the Catalyst 1900, Catalyst 2820, Catalyst 2900 XL, Catalyst 2950, and Catalyst 3500 XL switches. For complete information about these switches in a switch-cluster environment, refer to the software configuration guide for that specific switch.
Command-switch redundancy if a command switch fails. One or more switches can be designated as standby command switches to avoid loss of contact with cluster members. A cluster standby group is a group of standby command switches.
Management of a variety of Catalyst switches through a single IP address. This conserves on IP addresses, especially if you have a limited number of them. All communication with the switch cluster is through the command switch IP address.
It puts in top all' other and uses the tape in order to hold on the place.
No tape? It uses the string.
I would suggest a 19& quot; cabinet standard of the cremagliera support.
