Connecting Console Ports for a Stack

To begin the software configuration for a new stack, you must have at least one console port connected.
Connect a console to the console port of the switch that you intend to become the master of the stack. If
you are going to configure redundancy, you may wish to connect to the console ports of all switches in
the stack that you will configure to be master-capable. If you followed the cabling examples in
"Connecting the Switches to Form the Stack Ring" on page 141, and you use the easy-setup
configuration procedure, only slots 1 and 2 will be allowed to become master.
