Step
15 Enter the WRITE command to save your change. If this is the first management
session, the switch adds the configuration file DEFAULT.CFG to flash memory, for
storing your configuration changes. If you do not save your changes, they will be
discarded and you will have to reenter them when you reboot the switch later in these
procedures.
awplus# write

Step
Steps 1 to 2 add the member switches as provisioned switches on the master switch. This is so
the master switch is aware of the switches when the stack is powered on for the first time.
1 Move to the Global Configuration mode with the CONFIGURE TERMINAL command.
awplus# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
2 Add the member switches to the master switch as provisioned switches with the
SWITCH PROVISION command. Assign a unique ID number, in the range of 2 to 4,
to each unit. The following examples add three provisioned member switches to the
master switch, with the IDs 2 to 4:
awplus(config)# switch 2 provision x550-18
awplus(config)# switch 3 provision x550-18
awplus(config)# switch 4 provision x550-18
Steps 3 and 4 remove the stacking function from the default stacking ports 17 and 21 on the
provisioned member switches.
3 Enter the port Interface modes of the default stacking ports 17 and 21 on the
provisioned member switches. The example here assumes there are three
provisioned member switches, with the IDs 2 to 4:
awplus(config)# interface port2.0.17-2.0.21,port3.0.17-
3.0.21,port4.0.17-4.0.21

Description and Command
In Part II, you add the member switches as provisioned units to the master
switch and designate their optional stacking ports. Adding member
switches as provisioned devices ensures that the master switch knows
about them during the first stack power-on. The procedure assumes you
are continuing directly from the previous procedure.
