Chapter 6: Configuring Switches for Stacking
Step
7
Move to the Global Configuration mode with the CONFIGURE TERMINAL command.
awplus# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
8
Activate VCStack on the switch with the STACK ENABLE command.
awplus(config)# stack enable
% Automatically enabling 'stack virtual-mac' to minimize disruption
form failovers.
% Please check that the new MAC 0000.cd37.0431 is unique within the
network.
% Save the config and restart the system for this change to take
effect.
9
Assign priority 1 to the switch with the STACK PRIORITY command. This is to ensure
that this switch is selected as the master switch when the stack is powered-on.
awplus(config)# stack 1 priority 1
% Warning: Stacking is currently disabled.
10
Enter the port Interface modes of the ports that will be the stack trunk on the master
switch. If you filled out the worksheet on Table 11 on page 62, refer there for the
stacking ports. The example command here assumes the trunk ports are ports 1 to 4
on the line card in slot 4. Be sure to modify the command to specify the ports of the
stack trunk on your master switch.
awplus(config)# interface port1.4.1-1.4.4
11
Designate the ports as stacking ports with the STACKPORT command.
awplus(config-if)# stackport
% Save the config and restart the system for this change to take
effect.
12
Return to the Global Configuration mode.
awplus(config-if)# exit
13
Add the member switches as provisioned switches to the master switch, with the
SWITCH PROVISION command. Assign each provisioned switch a unique ID number
in the range of 2 to 8. Adding the member switches as provisioned units makes it
possible for the master switch to know about them during the first power-on of the
stack. The following examples add three provisioned member switches to the master
switch, with the IDs 2 to 4:
awplus(config)# switch 2 provision sbx908gen2
awplus(config)# switch 3 provision sbx908gen2
awplus(config)# switch 4 provision sbx908gen2
