o
stack bandwith 2-port
o
stack bandwith 4-port
- define the priority of the dedicated unit within the stack
o
the Unit with the highest priority = lowest number will become Master
o
stack 1 priority 5
 the Stack Number 1 (Switch 1 of the max. 4) get the priority 5
- if required (we recommend) to renumber all units to their dedicated number within your stack, since this
will define which interface/port is assigned
o
stack 1 renumber 2
 current stack ID 1 will become 2 after reboot
 this you should do at f.e. unit 2,3 & 4

After successful settings and reboot of all switches, you can connect them with the stacking cables.
Wait some minutes, until the stack has been stabilized, then connect to the Master-Unit (LCD = H & 1)
- login again into "enable" mode and check the stacking status
o
show stack
- save the current settings again for the whole stack now, so that all configuration as of now is persistent
on all switches within the stack
