Check the display for the following:
- Switch ID 1 is the master switch.
- The master switch should have the priority 1. If it does not, repeat "Configuring the
Master Switch" on page 161. Be sure to perform the STACK PRIORITY command
and save your changes with the WRITE command.
- The other ID entries are for provisioned member switches. There should be one
entry for each member switch that will be in the stack. Their fields are empty
because the master switch is not yet part of a stack. If the table does not include
these fields, repeat "Configuring the Master Switch" on page 161. Be sure to
perform the SWITCH PROVISION command and save your changes with the
WRITE command.
- The Operational Status should be Standalone Unit, indicating that stacking is
enabled, but that the unit is operating as a stack of one switch. If the status is
Stacking Hardware Disabled, the stacking feature is disabled. Repeat "Configuring
the Master Switch" on page 161. Be sure to perform the STACK ENABLE command
and to save your changes with the WRITE command.
