Configuring Each Switch

To pre-configure each Member switch for stacking, use the CLI to perform the following steps.

1.Enable stacking on each Member switch module in the stack.

>>/boot/stack/enable

2.Configure the Stack Trunk ports (optional).

Dedicate two external 10Gb ports on each switch to support stacking. It is recommended that the default stack ports be used (shown below).

>>Boot Stacking# stktrnk

Enter ports one per line, NULL at end:

>17

>18

A Reboot is required for the new settings to take effect

3.Configure the stacking VLAN (optional).

Although any VLAN may be defined for stack traffic, it is highly recommended that the default, VLAN 4090, be reserved for stacking (shown below).

>>Boot Stacking# vlan 4090

4.Set the stacking mode.

By default, each switch is set to member mode. However, one (and only one) switch must be set to master mode. Use the following CLI command on only the designated Master switch:

>>Boot Stacking# mode master

Note – If any Member switches are incorrectly set to master mode, use the mode Member command to set them back to Member mode.

5.Reboot all of the stack switch modules.
