Step 3 designates Gigabit ports as the stack trunk with the STACK ENABLE FRONT-PANEL-
PORTS command.

Configuration mode to designate Gigabit ports as the stack trunk. You have to
perform this command before designating the actual trunk ports:
awplus(config)# stack enable front-panel-ports

mode.
Here are the main steps to Part II:
1. Add the member switches as provisioned units to the configuration of
the master switch, with the SWITCH PROVISION command.
2. Designate up to eight Gigabit ports on the provisioned member
switches to be the stack trunk with the STACKPORT command in the
port interface modes.
3. Save your changes to the master switch with the WRITE command in
the Privilege Exec mode.
4. Reboot the master switch with the REBOOT command.
5. Start a new local management session.
6. Verify the changes on the master switch with the SHOW STACK and
SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG INTERFACE command.
To configure Gigabit ports on the master switch as the stack trunk, start by
