Configuring Stacking

Stacking is the connection of two switch modules resident in the same chassis so that they behave as a
single switch. When a chassis is populated with two switch modules, the user must configure both of
them to operate in stacked mode. This is done by selecting one port from each switch module and
configuring it to be a stacking partner. The user must then use a cable to connect the stacking partners
from each switch module to physically stack the switch modules. Any one port in a switch module can
be designated as the stacking partner for that switch module.
Follow the steps below to configure a pair of ports on two different switch modules as stacking partners.
