Chapter 8: Configuring the Master of the Stack Trunk with 5Gbps Multi-Speed Ports
General Steps for
the Master
Switch
168
The procedure for configuring the master switch to use 5Gbps as the
stacking ports is divided into two parts. Here are the general steps to
Part I:
1. Start a local management session on the switch.
2. Display the hardware status and management software version
number with the SHOW SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT and SHOW
VERSION INSTALLED commands, respectively, in the Privilege Exec
mode.
3. Enable the VCStack feature with the STACK ENABLE command in the
Global Configuration mode. You will probably not have to perform this
step because the default setting for the feature is enabled.
4. Assign the master switch the priority 1 with the STACK PRIORITY
command in the Global Configuration mode. This is to ensure that it is
selected as the master switch during the first power-on of the stack.
5. Remove the stacking function from the default 10Gbps stacking ports
on the master switch with the NO STACKPORT command.
6. Designate the 5Gbps ports as the stack trunk on the master switch,
with the STACKPORT command.
7. Save your changes with the WRITE command in the Privileged Exec
mode.
The general steps to Part II are listed here:
1. Add the member switches as provisioned units to the master switch,
with the SWITCH PROVISION command. This step is to ensure that
the master switch knows about the member switches during the first
power-on of the stack.
2. Remove the stacking function from the default stacking ports on the
provisioned member switches with the NO STACKPORT command.
3. Designate the 5Gbps ports as the stack trunk on the provisioned
member switches, 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.
6. Start a new local management session.
7. Verify the changes with the SHOW STACK and SHOW RUNNING-
CONFIG command.
