Configuring the
Master
GS980MX/
28PSm Switch –
Part II
Table 29. Configuring the Master GS980MX/28PSm Switch for 5Gbps Stacking Ports – Part II
Step
Steps 1 to 2 add the member switches as provisioned switches on the master switch. This is so the
master switch is aware of the switches when the stack is powered on for the first time.
Move to the Global Configuration mode with the CONFIGURE TERMINAL command.
1
awplus# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Add the member switches to the master switch as provisioned switches with the SWITCH
2
PROVISION command. Assign a unique ID number, in the range of 2 to 4, to each unit.
The following examples add three provisioned member switches to the master switch,
with the IDs 2 to 4:
awplus(config)# switch 2 provision GS980MX-28
awplus(config)# switch 3 provision GS980MX-28
awplus(config)# switch 4 provision GS980MX-28
Steps 3 and 4 remove the stacking function from the default stacking ports 27 and 28 on the
provisioned member switches.
Enter the port Interface modes of the default stacking ports 27 and 28 on the provisioned
3
member switches. The example here assumes there are three provisioned member
switches, with the IDs 2 to 4:
awplus(config)# interface port2.0.27-2.0.28,port3.0.27-
3.0.28,port4.0.27-4.0.28
Remove the stacking function from the ports to convert them into regular Ethernet ports,
4
with the NO STACKPORT command:
awplus(config-if)# no stackport
% Save the config and restart the system for this change to take effect.
Steps 5 and 6 add the stacking function to the selected 5Gbps ports on the provisioned member
switches.
In Part II, you add the member switches as provisioned units to the master
switch and designate their 5Gbps trunk ports. Adding member switches as
provisioned devices ensures that the master switch is aware of them
during the first stack power-on. The procedure assumes you are
continuing directly from the previous procedure.
