The show switch stack-ports command can also be used to see all of the ports that have been added to
the stack as well as which ones are being used for stacking. To view only ports that are configured for
stacking, use the command show switch stack-ports | include Stack.

When the switch is the Master of a stack, the LED glows solid blue. If it is a stack member only, it glows a
solid amber. When in stand-alone mode, the LED is off.
Note: Each stack members' role (including the Master and Standby) can be defined any time after the
initial stack is created.

Web interface method

Make sure all switches are at the same firmware version prior to configuring the stack, or use the Stack
Firmware Synchronization (boot auto-copy-fw) feature to synchronize all firmware during the stack
setup process to that of the Master. The boot auto-copy-fw command is explained below in this
example.
