Setting the
Priority Numbers
This procedure is optional. It explains how to configure the priority settings
of the switches. Changing the priority settings protects the stack
configuration should you ever power on the stack with a new member
switch that has a lower MAC address than an existing master or member
switch.
This procedure assumes you are continuing directly on from the previous
procedure.
To set the priority values of the switches, perform the following procedure:
1. Use the CONFIGURE TERMINAL command to move from the
Privileged Exec mode to the Global Configuration mode, as shown in
Figure 67.
Figure 67. Moving to the Global Configuration Mode with the CONFIGURE
TERMINAL Command
2. Use the STACK PRIORITY command to set the priority numbers. The
command has this format:
stack <ID_number> priority <priority>
The ID_NUMBER parameter is the ID number of the switch whose
priority value you are setting. The range is 1 to 4. The PRIORITY
parameter is the new priority value for the switch. The range is 0 to
255. The default is 128.
Examples:
To assign the priority value 1 to the switch with the ID number 1, you
enter this command:
awplus(config)# stack 1 priority 1
To set the priority value to 2 on the switch with the ID number 2, you
enter:
awplus(config)# stack 2 priority 2
3. After setting the priority values, enter the EXIT command to return to
the Privileged Exec mode, as shown in Figure 68 on page 112.

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
