Power up the new member switch by restoring the power cables (on 8024/8024F) or plugging it into the
blade chassis (on the M8024-k).
It usually takes a few minutes for the stack to build and restart. Once restarted and the new member
has joined the stack, the remaining configuration can be set on including VLANs, LAGs, data cables to
other equipment, etc. Validate the new stack configuration with the following command on the
Master switch.

provides management access, since the stack now acts as a single large switch.
