Chapter 4: Stacking BMD00082, February 2009
Configuring Each Switch
To pre-configure each Member switch for stacking, use the CLI to perform the following steps.
1. Enable stacking on each Member switch module in the stack.
2. Configure the Stack Trunk ports (optional).
Dedicate two external 10Gb ports on each switch to support stacking. It is recommended that
the default stack ports be used (shown below).
3. Configure the stacking VLAN (optional).
Although any VLAN may be defined for stack traffic, it is highly recommended that the
default, VLAN 4090, be reserved for stacking (shown below).
4. Set the stacking mode.
By default, each switch is set to member mode. However, one (and only one) switch must be
set to master mode. Use the following CLI command on only the designated Master switch:
Note – If any Member switches are incorrectly set to master mode, use the mode Member
command to set them back to Member mode.
5. Reboot all of the stack switch modules.
>> /boot/stack/enable
>> Boot Stacking# stktrnk
Enter ports one per line, NULL at end:
> 17
> 18

A Reboot is required for the new settings to take effect
