Confirming the
Status of the
VCStack Feature
Another way to confirm that VCStack is disabled on the switch is by displaying the status of the last two SFP+ slots on the switch. These are slots 27 and 28. If VCStack is disabled, you should be able to display the status of the slots even when they do not have transceivers. If VCStack is not disabled, the switch displays a message that it cannot find the slots. To view the status of the stacking slots, perform this procedure:
1.Start a management session on the switch. For directions, refer to “Configuring the Switch for
2.Log on to the switch. The default user name is “manager” and the password is “friend”.
3.From either the User Exec mode or Privileged Exec mode, enter the SHOW INTERFACE command to display the status of one of the last two SFP+ slots on the switch. For example, enter this command to view the status of slot 27:
show interface port1.0.27
If VCStack is disabled, the switch displays the status of the designated slot. An example is shown in Figure 40 on page 81.
