Page 38: Stacking Worksheet
Each switch in a stack has to have a unique ID number: 1 or 2. You use the ID numbers to configure the individual ports. Allied Telesis recommends assigning the ID 1, the default value, to the master switch. You should decide on the ID assignments of the switches before beginning the configuration procedures. - Page 39 Again, as with priority numbers, the lower the MAC address, the higher the priority. Allied Telesis recommends setting each switch’s priority value to match its ID value. This is to ensure that the switch you have chosen to be the master unit will indeed function in that role.

PORTMODE INTERFACE Allied Telesis recommends configuring these ports during the initial configuration procedure even if they will not be used for the stack trunk. The command format is shown here: platform portmode interface ports 10g The variables are defined here: The PORTS variable specifies the ports to be configured. -
Page 94: Stack Enable
As with priority numbers, the lower the MAC address, the higher the priority. A switch can have only one priority number. Allied Telesis recommends making a switch’s priority and ID numbers the same. This is not required, but it can make managing and troubleshooting a stack easier. -
Page 95: Stack Renumber
This example changes the switch’s ID from the default 1 to 2: awplus(config)# stack 1 renumber 2 SWITCH To ensure that the first power-on of the stack is successful, Allied Telesis recommends configuring the units such that each unit knows about the PROVISION others prior to forming the stack. -
