m4300 problem with axm765
Hello all, I have bought four Netgear m4300 switches and 6 AXM765 modules. I have mount the AXM on the switch but nothing happened. It seems to be dead. Of course, I have changed the modules but the...
Answering from the road: In my understanding, the existing stack does automatically expand to newly added stack members. LaurentMa can certainly confirm 8-)
Hi Team,
This is correct. The Stack management unit holds the configuration for the whole stack, so the VLAN database is the same for all switches in the stack. Stack links carry all VLANs, no need to "trunk" them (and you can't do that on port configured in stack mode and/or running in stack mode). Of course, you still have to tell which ports belong to which VLANs finally on the new added stack member switches, for instance in accesss mode or in trunk mode (again, not stack ports).
I hope this helps,
Regards
Good morning Laurent,
Tomorrow (05/04/2022) I am going to install the other three switches, the one that is already installed has the entire database with VLANs etc, so fingers crossed, it will advertise the whole database to other three switches.
So I will inform the team what happened.
Thank you all for the answers, have a great day!
