STACK Switch MGMT IP Address for each switch

When I have a switch with two switches how do I assign out of band MGMT interface IP address to each switch?

I see only the interface GigabitEthernet0/0. I need MGMT IP to be assigned for both switches. How do I do that?

You physically connect both mgmt ports to the OOB switch but logically you only configure the master switch. When the master switch fails, the other switch mgmt port will take over. Don't forget to enable portfast on the OOB switch so, the failover is faster.

Hello

In a switch stack, the two switch's become a single logical switch as such the mgmt address would be for the stack not for the individual physical switches.
