The procedure in this section explains how to disable the VCStack feature
so that you can use the unit as a stand-alone switch. In all likelihood you
will not have to perform this procedure because the default setting for the
feature is disabled. A simple way to determine whether the VCStack
feature is enabled or disabled is by viewing the Switch ID LED:
If the LED is displaying "0", the VCStack feature is already

disabled and the switch is operating as a stand-alone unit. Go to
"Configuring Ports 25 to 37" on page 125.
If the LED is displaying the number "1" or higher, the VCStack

feature is enabled. You should disable it to use the unit as a stand-
alone switch. For instructions, perform the following procedure.
Caution
You have to reset the switch after disabling the VCStack feature.

If the switch is powered off, start with step 1. If the switch is powered on,
start with step 3:
1. Power on the switch by connecting AC power cords to the power
supply connectors on the back panel and to AC power sources. Refer
to "Powering On the Switch" on page 116.
2. Wait two minutes for the switch to initialize its management software.
3. Start a local management session on the device. Refer to "Starting a
Local Management Session" on page 119.
4. Enter the SHOW STACK command in the User Exec mode prompt to
display the status of the VCStack feature. An example is shown in
Figure 64.
