Stacking configuration guidelines

Before you configure a stack, consider the following guidelines:
• Plan the number of units and how the stacking ports on the units will be connected. For more information, refer to the
hardware installation guide for your device.
• The stack should be physically cabled in a linear or ring topology. Connect only those units that will be active in the
stack.
• Make sure all units intended for the stack are running the same software version. On any of the console ports in the
stack, use the show version command to view all units, or the show version unit unit-number command to view an
individual unit.
NOTE
If you are running a router image and there is a potential loop in your topology, you must configure the Spanning Tree
Protocol in the would-be active controller. Otherwise, excessive looping packets may affect stack formation. The
Spanning Tree Protocol is enabled by default in switch images.
