Note
The procedures require resetting the member switch twice. Some
network traffic will be lost if the switch is already connected to an
active network.
The procedures should be performed in the order presented here.
Here are the general steps to configuring the member switch for stacking:
1. Start a local management session on the switch.
2. Verify the hardware with the SHOW SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT
command in the Privilege Exec mode.
3. Enable the VCStack feature with the STACK ENABLE command in the
Global Configuration mode.
4. Assign the ID 2 to the member switch with the SWITCH RENUMBER
command in the Global Configuration mode.
Note
When you change the member switch's ID from 1 to 2, it does not
delete ID 1 from its configuration. Instead, it retains it as a
provisioned switch, which becomes the provisioned master switch.
5. Save your changes with the WRITE command in the Privilege Exec
mode.
6. Restart the switch with the REBOOT command.
7. Start a new local management session with the switch.
8. Assign the member switch the priority 2 with the STACK PRIORITY
command in the Global Configuration mode.
