Command Summary
STACKPORT

STACK
PRIORITY
This section briefly describes the commands for configuring the master
and member switches for stacking. For further instructions, refer to the
Software Reference for x950 Switch, AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
After reviewing the commands. go to "Configuring the Master Switch" on
page 150 to start the configuration procedures.
You use this command to designate the ports of the stack trunk. The
command has to be performed after you have enabled the stacking feature
with the STACK ENABLE command. Additionally, it has to be performed
from the Interface mode of the selected ports. In this example, ports 1 to 4
on the line card in slot 4 on the master switch with ID 1 are designated as
ports of the stack trunk:
awplus(config)# interface port1.4.1-1.4.4
awplus(config-if)# stackport
This example configures ports 1 and 2 on the line cards in slots 3 and 4 on
the member switch with ID 2 as trunk ports:
awplus(config)# interface port2.3.1-2.3.2,port2.4.1-
2.4.2
awplus(config-if)# stackport
This command is used to activate the VCStack feature. It is located in the
Global Configuration mode. Activating the VCStack feature requires
resetting the switch. You must perform this command before designating
the ports of the stack trunk with the STACKPORT command. Here is the
command:
awplus(config)# stack enable
This command is used to assign priority numbers to switches. They use
the numbers to select the master switch of the stack. The lower the
number the higher the priority. The unit with the lowest number becomes
the master. If they have the same priority value, they use their MAC
addresses to determine the master. As with priority numbers, the lower the
MAC address, the higher the priority. A switch can have only one priority
number.
Allied Telesis recommends making a switch's priority and ID numbers the
same. This is not required, but it can make managing and troubleshooting
a stack easier.
The format of the command, which is in the Global Configuration mode, is
