Configuring the Master Switch

General Steps for
the Master
Switch
This section contains procedures for configuring an x330 Switch as the
master switch of the stack. The procedures designate the Multi-Gigabit
copper ports as the stack trunk and add the member switches as
provisioned switches to the master switch.
Note
Any x330-20GTX , x330-28GTX, or x330-52GTX Switch can be the
master switch of the stack.
Here are the procedures:

The procedures should be performed in the order presented here.
Note
The procedures require reseting the switch. Some network traffic will
be lost if its ports are already connected to active devices.
Allied Telesis recommends filling out the "VCStack Worksheet" on page 60
before building the stack.
There are two parts to designating the Multi-Gigabit copper ports on the
master switch as the stack trunk. Here are the main steps to Part I:
1. Start a local management session on the switch.
2. Remove the stacking function from the default SFP+ S1 and S2 ports
with the NO STACKPORT command.
3. Designate the Multi-Gigabit copper ports as the stack trunk with the
STACKPORT command.
4. Assign the master switch the priority 1 with the STACK PRIORITY
command in the Global Configuration mode to designate it as the
master switch of the stack.
5. Save your changes with the WRITE command in the Privilege Exec
mode.
