BMD00082, February 2009 Chapter 4: Stacking
47
Stack Member Numbers
Each switch in the stack has two numeric identifiers, as follows:
Attached Switch number (asnum)
The asnum identifies each switch based on its physical connection in relation to the
Master.
Configured Switch number (csnum):
The csnum is configured by the stack administrator in order to create a logical grouping of
switches and ports.
It is recommended that asnum 1 and csnum 1 be used for identifying the Master switch.
Note – By default, csnum 1 is assigned to the Master. If csnum 1 is not available, the lowest
available csnum is assigned to the Master.
Configuring a Stack
This section provides procedures for creating a stack of switch modules. The high-level
procedure is as follows:
Enable stacking on each switch.
Designate one switch as the Master.
Reboot all stack switches.
Connect the stack trunk as shown in Figure 4-A.
Configure the Master interface.
Configure additional stacking parameters on the Master.
