Figure 48. Stack-Port Configuration
2. Select either the Unit ID or All.
• Select the Unit ID field to display information for the selected unit.
• Select All to display information for all units.
3. In the Configured Stack Mode field, specify the operating mode of the port to be either
Ethernet or Stack. The default value for front panel stack mode is Stack. The default value
for back panel stack mode is Stack. The default value for Configured Stack Mode is
Ethernet.
4. In the M4300 models, not all ports can be configured as stack ports, and only some
particular ports can be configured as stack ports. The maximum is eight stack links.
5. For the predefined eight ports on the M4300-24X and M4300-12X12F models, both fiber
and copper stack links are needed. So, the last eight ports are predefined as follows:
a. For M4300-24X, predefine the last eight ports (port 17 to 24):
- Ports 17 to 20 are 10G copper.
- Ports 21 to 24 are combo.
b. For M4300-12X12F, predefine four fiber ports and four copper ports:
- Ports 9 to 12 are 10G fiber
- Ports 12 to 24 are 10G copper.
6. Manually reboot the switch for the changes to take effect.
