Description:
This article describes how a stacking group of switches with LCOS SX 5.xx can be integrated in the LANCOM Management Cloud.
Requirements:
- One of the following LANCOM switch models:
- XS-51xx / XS-6128QF
- GS-45xx / XS-45xx
- YS-7154CF
- LCOS SX as of version 5.20 for XS-51xx / XS-6128QF (download latest version)
- LCOS SX as of version 5.20 for GS-45xx / XS-45xx (download latest version)
- LCOS SX as of version 5.30 for YS-7154CF (download latest version)
- LMC access (chargeable) with existing LMC project and licences for all used LANCOM devices
- LANtools as of version 10.50 (download latest version)
- The switches must not be conected to the LMC yet
- Any web browser for accessing the LANCOM Management Cloud
Procedure:
1) Configuring the stacking group:
A stacking group cannot be configured via the LMC. Thefore the stack has to be configured manually via the webinterface of the devices.
At this time the switches must not be connected to the LMC, as configuration changes made via the webinterface are not taken over into the LMC. Should the switches already be connected to the LMC, please remove them from the LMC first.
The procedure to configure stacking is described in the following Knowledge Base article:
LANCOM switches: Configuring stacking on switches with LCOS SX 5.xx
2) Pairing process with the LANCOM Management Cloud:
Initiate the Pairing process as described in the following Knowledge Base article. In doing so, it should be noted, that the pairing process only has to be applied to the master switch. Therefore only the master switch needs an LMC licence.

3) Configuration options of the stack in the LANCOM Management Cloud:
3.1) Connect to the LMC, and in the menu Devices click on the stacking group under Name. It is easily recognizeable as a "Layer" symbol with the device count shown under Model.
3.2) In the Overview the switch ports can be configured for each unit (with the exception of the stacking ports).
