Stacking PowerConnect 10G Switches: M8024-k, 8024, 8024F
Note: Since this example uses a PowerConnect 8024, there are only four possible ports that can be
stacked. A PowerConnect 8024F would have 24 ports that could be used for stacking.
4. Click Apply.
If the message below appears, click Close. The switch will not reboot until the reload command is
given.
5. Select System > Stack Management > Unit Configuration.
Note: The next two steps are optional, but allow the user to select the Switch ID for each member.
A stack will be created even if these settings are skipped. Settings can also be changed after the
stack is created. Changing the Switch ID will require a reboot as noted below the screen.
6. Select the Switch ID for this switch. Typically, ID 1 is given to the Master, ID 2 is given to
the Stand-by, and other members are given the remaining numbers; however, the IDs are
user-definable and do not impact the stacking feature beyond numbering each member for
identification.
