Verifying A Stack With Dynamic Module Id Numbers - Allied Telesis AT-9448Ts Installation Manual

Verifying a Stack
with Dynamic
Module ID
Numbers
To verify the installation of a stack with dynamic module ID numbers on
the switches, perform the following procedure:
1. After powering on the stack, wait a least two minutes. This is to give
the switches sufficient time to initialize their management software and
complete the discovery process.
2. Identify the master switch of the stack by examining the Stack MSTR
LED on the front panel of the switches. This LED will be green on the
master switch. (Do not confuse the Stack MSTR LED with the Status
MASTER LED. The latter is used with enhanced stacking, a feature
not supported on a stack.)
Note
If all the Stack MSTR LEDs are off, the discovery process may have
encountered a problem. For suggestions on how to resolve it, refer
to "Troubleshooting the Discovery Process" on page 71.
3. Place a label on the master switch's front panel to make it easier to
identify.
4. Establish a local management session on the master switch. For
instructions, refer to "Starting a Local Management Session" on
page 53.
5. Enter the following command:
show stack
The command lists the switches of a stack. An example is show in
Figure 30 on page 68.
6. Match the units in the table from the command with the physical
devices by comparing the MAC addresses of the units, found on a
label on the back panels.
7. Attach labels to the front of the switches with their module ID numbers
(e.g., 1, 2, etc.) from the command. You must use these numbers
when you configure the devices with the management software.
Note
If you add or remove a switch from the stack that has dynamic stack
ID numbers, the stack ID number assignments may change. That
could have a significant impact on the configuration of the devices.
