Verifying a Member Switch

Step
1 Start a local management session. Refer to "Starting a Local Management Session" on
page 141.
2 Move to the Privileged Exec mode.
awplus> enable
3 Enter the SHOW STACK command. The example here is for a member switch with the
ID 2, that will be in a stack of four switches:
awplus# show stack

Stack MAC address
4 Verify the display for the following:
- The table should have from two to four entries, depending on the number of switches
to be in the stack.
- Switch ID 1 will be for the master switch.
- The other entries are for the member switches. There should be one entry for each
member switch that will be in the stack. To add more entries, perform the SWITCH
PROVISION command in "Configuring a Member Switch - Part I" on page 158.
- The entry with the Ready status and Active Master role is the switch you are currently
managing. Its role will change to member after the stack is functioning.
- The switch's priority should match its ID number. If it does not, perform the STACK
PRIORITY command in "Configuring a Member Switch - Part II" on page 161.
- The Operational Status should be Standalone Unit. This indicates that stacking is
enabled and the unit is operating as a stack of one switch. If the status is Stacking
Hardware Disabled, the stacking feature is disabled. Perform the STACK ENABLE in
"Configuring a Member Switch - Part I" on page 158. Be sure to save your changes
with the WRITE command.
Perform the steps in Table 30 to confirm the configuration of a member
switch.
