Setting The Priority Numbers; Figure 66: Moving To The Global Configuration Mode With The Configure Terminal Command - Allied Telesis AT-x550-18XTQ Installation Manual

Setting the
Priority Numbers
 Otherwise, go to Chapter 8, "Cabling the Networking Ports" on
page 167, to complete with the installation.
This procedure is optional. It explains how to configure the priority settings
of the switches. Changing the priority settings protects the stack
configuration should you ever power on the stack with a new member
switch that has a lower MAC address than an existing master or member
switch.
This procedure assumes you are continuing directly on from the previous
procedure.
To set the priority values of the switches, perform the following procedure:
1. From the User Exec mode, enter the ENABLE command to move to
the Privileged Exec mode:
awplus# enable
2. Use the CONFIGURE TERMINAL command to move to the Global
Configuration mode, as shown in Figure 66.
awplus# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
awplus(config)#

3. Use the STACK PRIORITY command to set the priority numbers. The
command has this format:
ID_number
stack
The ID_NUMBER parameter is the ID number of the switch whose
priority value you are setting. The range is 1 to 4. The PRIORITY
parameter is the new priority value for the switch. The range is 0 to
255. The default is 128.
Here are a couple examples. To assign the priority value 1 to the
switch with the ID number 1, you enter this command:
awplus(config)# stack 1 priority 1
To set the priority value to 2 on the switch with the ID number 2, you
enter:
awplus(config)# stack 2 priority 2
