Add Switches to an Operating Stack

1.Make sure the redundant stack connection is in place and functional. All stack members should be connected in a logical ring.

2.Preconfigure the new switches, if desired.

3.Power off all new switches that will be joining the stack.

CAUTION:

If you cable one or more powered-on switches to the stack, the existing stack and the new switches assume two stacks are merging. They elect a single, new stack master, and you cannot specify which switch becomes the new master. All stack members assume configuration based on the new stack master. Stack members change their stack member numbers to the lowest available numbers.
