Configuring the Switch

Step 11 Disconnect the server chassis serial port or the switch console port from the PC. See the “Managing the Switch” section on page 20 for information about configuring and managing the switch.

If you need to rerun the initial configuration dialog, see the “Resetting the Switch Configuration” section on page 29.

Configuring the Switch Stack Master

If you plan to create a switch stack, we recommend that you set the first configured switch as the stack master. To do this, you must assign the highest priority value to that switch. To assign a priority value after you have installed and initially configured the first switch, follow these steps:

Step 1 Launch a Telnet session.

Step 2 Enter enable.

Step 3 Enter configure terminal.

Step 4 Enter switch 1 priority 15.

Step 5 At the prompt, press Return.

Step 6 Enter end to exit this mode.

Step 7 Enter copy running-configuration startup-configuration to save this setting. Step 8 At the prompt, press Return.

Step 9 To verify that this switch is set as the master, enter the show switch user EXEC command.

For more information about creating switch stacks, see the “Planning and Creating a Switch Stack (Only 3130G-S and 3130X-S Switches)” section on page 22.
