• by merging two stacks.
If you are adding units to an existing stack, you can either:
• allow FTOS to automatically assign the new unit a position in the stack, or
• manually determine each units position in the stack by configuring each unit to correspond with the
stack before connecting it.
• If you add a unit that has a stack number that conflicts with the stack, the stack assigns the first
available stack number, as shown in the examples below.
• If the stack has a provision for the stack-number that will be assigned to the new unit, the provision
must match the unit type, or FTOS generates a type mismatch error, as shown in
Figure
After the new unit loads, it synchronizes its running and startup configurations with the stack.
Manually Assign a New Unit to an Existing Stack
To manually assign a new unit a position in an existing stack, use the following steps.
Note: For an S50 system, install stacking modules in the new unit while the unit is unpowered.
Step Task
1 On the stack, determine the next available stack-unit
number, and the management prioritity of the
management unit.
2 On the new unit, number it the next available stack-unit
number.
3 (OPTIONAL) On the new unit, assign a management
priority based on whether you want the new unit to be
the stack manager.
4 Assign a stack group to each unit.
5 Connect the new unit to the stack using stacking cables.
