Chapter 5 Managing Switch Stacks

Configuring the Switch Stack

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign a priority value to a stack member: This procedure is optional.

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

switch stack-member-number priority

Specify the stack member number and the new priority for the stack

 

new-priority-number

member. The stack member number range is 1 to 9. The priority value

 

 

range is 1 to 15.

 

 

You can display the current priority value by using the show switch user

 

 

EXEC command.

 

 

The new priority value takes effect immediately but does not affect the

 

 

current stack master. The new priority value helps determine which stack

 

 

member is elected as the new stack master when the current stack master

 

 

or switch stack resets.

Step 3

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

 

 

reload slot stack-member-number

Reset the stack member, and apply this configuration change.

Step 5

 

 

show switch stack-member-number

Verify the stack member priority value.

Step 6

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

Provisioning a New Member for a Switch Stack

Note This task is available only from the stack master.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to provision a new member for a switch stack. This procedure is optional.

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

show switch

Display summary information about the switch stack.

Step 2

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 3

 

 

switch stack-member-number provision

Specify the stack member number for the preconfigured switch. By

 

type

default, no switches are provisioned.

 

 

For stack-member-number, the range is 1 to 9. Specify a stack member

 

 

number that is not already used in the switch stack. See Step 1.

 

 

For type, enter the model number of a supported switch that is listed in

 

 

the command-line help strings.

Step 4

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

 

 

show running-config

Verify the correct numbering of interfaces in the running configuration

 

 

file.

Step 6

 

 

show switch stack-member-number

Verify the status of the provisioned switch. For stack-member-number,

 

 

enter the same number as in Step 1.

Step 7

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
