By default, the Ethernet switch is in stacking mode. Using the console interface or the web

interface, you can change the mode to standalone mode.

TIP: Power the Ethernet switches in the order that you want them in the Stack ID. The first powered Ethernet switch in a stack is assigned as the Master Unit, the next powered unit is assigned as the Master-Backup. The remaining units are assigned Stack IDs in the order that they are powered.

When the device is in standalone mode, the stacking ports can be used as regular ports.

Connecting Cabling for Stacking

When the Ethernet switch is in stacking mode, ports 12 and 24 are reserved as stacking ports and cannot be used as network ports. Ports GBIC3 and GBIC4 can also be used as stacking ports.
