This chapter contains instructions on how to configure switches for
stacking with VCStack. Please review the following information before
performing the instructions:
 The procedures should be performed in the order presented here.
 The procedures should be performed on each switch, individually.
 The procedures include designating the trunk ports for the
switches. If you have not already chosen the trunk ports, select
them before continuing. For background information, refer to
"Stacking Guidelines" on page 41.
 If you have already connected network cables to the ports on the
AT-XEM2 Line Cards, remove those connected to ports that will be
trunk ports. Trunk ports should not be cabled yet.
Note
Cabling trunk ports before activating the VCStack feature may result
in loops in your network topology, which can cause poor network
performance.
Table 12 lists the steps and procedures to configuring switches for
stacking.
