Planning and Creating a Switch Stack (Only 3130G-S and 3130X-S Switches)

To assign a priority value after you have installed and initially configured the first switch, see the “Configuring the Switch Stack Master” section on page 19.

•When you connect the StackWise Plus cables and create a stack, you can communicate with the master switch internal Ethernet management port (Fa0) port, but not the Fa0 ports of the member switches. Only one Fa0 interface can be active, and that interface is the one on the active stack master.

•For conditions that might cause a stack master re-election or to manually elect the stack master, see the “Managing Switch Stacks” chapter in the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.

•You can stack any combination of up to nine Catalyst 3130G-S and 3130X-S switches. You can stack only the Catalyst 3130 switches; other switches cannot be stacked.

•Before installation, verify the StackWise Plus cable length. Depending on your configuration, you might need different sized cables. If you do not specify the length of the StackWise Plus cable when you order your product, the 1-meter cable is supplied. If you need the 0.5-meter cable or the 3-meter cable, you can order these StackWise Plus cables from your Cisco sales representative:

–CAB-STK-E-0.5M= (0.5-meter cable)

–CAB-STK-E-1M= (1-meter cable)

–CAB-STK-E-3M= (3-meter cable)

For switch dimensions, StackWise Plus cable part numbers, and additional stacking guidelines, see the switch hardware installation guide on Cisco.com. For concepts and procedures to manage switch stacks, see the switch software configuration guide and the stack compatibility guide, also on Cisco.com.

To create a switch stack:

•Install the member switches if you have not already done so.

•Connect the StackWise Plus cables as described in the “Planning and Creating a Switch Stack (Only 3130G-S and 3130X-S Switches)” section on page 22.

•Configure the member switches through the master switch by using the CLI.
