Bringing your Stack Online

When connecting up your MS420 for the first time the ports are set as ethernet. Once they're online you can convert the
port to a Stack port by simply selecting the option under the interface configuration as shown below:
It's recommended to bring the MS420's online using an uplink on each switch and configuring the port for Stacking prior
to connecting the stack links. This will allow for config sync as well as firmware upgrade. The switches will blink a white
status LED during upgrade so it should be visibly obvious that they're upgrade. When the Switch has a steady White
Light it's connected and ready to continue so the stacking connections can be added.
