Note
The procedures require reseting the switch. Some network traffic will
be lost if the unit is already connected to an active network.
Perform the procedures in the order presented here.
The procedure for configuring the master switch is divided into two parts.
Here are the general steps to Part I:
1. Assign the master switch the priority 1 with the STACK PRIORITY
command in the Global Configuration mode. This ensure that it
becomes the master switch during the first power-on of the stack.
2. Remove the stacking function from the default stacking ports 15/S1
and 16/S2 with the NO STACKPORT command.
3. Designate the new trunk ports with the STACKPORT command.
Here are the general steps to Part II:
1. Add the member switch as a provisioned unit 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.
2. Remove the stacking function from the default stacking ports 15/S1
and 16/S2 on the provisioned member switch with the NO
STACKPORT command.
3. Designate the new trunk ports on the provisioned member switch with
the STACKPORT command.
4. Save your changes with the WRITE command in the Privilege Exec
mode.
5. Reboot the switch with the REBOOT command.
