Connecting theNew MasterSwitch to the
Stack
To connect the stacking and network cables to the new master switch,
perform the following procedure:
1. Cable the stacking ports on the new master switch. For instructions,
refer to “Cabling the Stacking Ports” on page 87.
2. Power on the new master switch. For instructions, refer to “Powering
on AC Switches” on page 92 or “Powering On DC Switches” on
page 97.
At this point, the new master switch performs the following actions:
It initializes its management software and features.
It assumes the role as master switch of the stack.
It configures the settings of all the member switches using the
settings in its active boot configuration file.
It transmits its active boot configuration file to the other switches in
the stack.
To monitor these processes, refer to “Monitoring the Initialization
Processes” on page 93.
3. To verify that the new master switch is operating properly, perform the
steps in “Verifying the Installation” on page 101.
4. Connect the twisted pair and fiber optic cables to the ports on the
switch. For instructions, refer to “Cabling the Twisted Pair and Fiber
Optic Ports” on page 104.
5. Install any optional SFP modules in the master switch. For instructions,
refer to “Installing Optional SFP Transceivers” on page 106.
