General Steps for the Master Switch
The procedure for configuring the master switch is divided into two parts.
Here are the general steps to "Configuring the Master Switch - Part I" on
page 145.
Note
The procedures require reseting the switch. Some network traffic will
be lost if the unit is already connected to an active network.
1. Start a local management session on the switch.
2. Verify the hardware with the SHOW SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT
command in the Privilege Exec mode.
3. Display the firmware version number with the SHOW VERSION
command.
4. Enable the VCStack feature with the STACK ENABLE command in the
Global Configuration mode.
5. Assign the master switch the priority 1 with the STACK PRIORITY
command in the Global Configuration mode. This is to ensure that it
acts as the master switch during the first power-on of the stack.
6. Add the member switches as provisioned units to the master switch,
with the SWITCH PROVISION command. This step is to ensure that
the master switch knows about the member switch during the first
power-on of the stack.
7. Save your changes with the WRITE command in the Privilege Exec
mode.
8. Reboot the switch with the REBOOT command.
Here are the general steps to "Configuring the Master Switch - Part II" on
page 148:
1. Start a new local management session.
2. Designate the types of transceivers to be used in ports 25 to 37 with
the PLATFORM PORTMODE INTERFACE command, on the master
and provisioned member switches. Allied Telesis recommends
performing this task at this time even if you are not using those ports
as the stack trunk.
