Note
The procedures require resetting member switches twice. Some
network traffic will be lost if they are already connected to an active
network.
The procedures should be performed in the order presented here.
The procedure for configuring member switches for stacking is divided into
two parts. The general steps to Part I are listed here:
1. Start a local management session on the switch.
2. View the hardware status and management software version number
with the SHOW SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT and SHOW VERSION
commands in the Privilege Exec mode.
3. Enable the VCStack feature with the STACK ENABLE command in the
Global Configuration mode.
4. Assign the ID number of the member switch with the SWITCH
RENUMBER command in the Global Configuration mode.
Note
Changing a member switch's ID does not delete the default ID 1
from the switch's configuration. Instead, the switch retains it as a
provisioned switch, which becomes the provisioned master switch.
5. Save your changes with the WRITE command in the Privilege Exec
mode.
6. Restart the switch with the REBOOT command.
Here are the general steps to Part II:
1. Start a new local management session on the member switch.
