Introduction
AlliedWare Plus featuring Virtual Chassis Stacking(VCS) places some restrictions on VLAN and IP subnets.
Internal communication between the stack members is carried out using IP packets sent over the stacking links.
This stack management traffic is tagged with a specific VLAN ID and uses IP addresses in a specified subnet.
By default, the VLAN and subnet used are:
- VLAN 4094
- Subnet 192.168.255.0/28
When a switch is configured to use an IP address with 192.168.0.0/16 network, The network overlaps with the 192.168.255.0/28 network and cannot be configured until the default has been changed.
To change the default value, use the commands below in global config mode.
stack management subnet <ip-address>
stack management vlan <2-4094>
Example
The example below changes the default stack management subnet to 172.16.255.0/28
awplus>enable
awplus#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
awplus(config)#stack management subnet 172.16.255.0
awplus(config)#end
awplus#write memory
awplus#reload
After restart the switch should be able to be configured with a management address from 192.168.0.0/16 network.
