Module
When choosing the ID numbers for the units in a stack, there is only one
rule that must be followed: each number has to be unique. Other than that,
you’re free to choose whatever numbers you want. They do not have to be
sequential or reflect the order of the devices in the stack. Of course, you’ll
find the units easier to identify, and so reduce the chance of performing a
configuration command on the wrong device, if you have a numbering
scheme.
Figure 41 is an example of a stack of four AT-MCF2000 and AT-MCF2300
Chassis with ID numbers. The chassis with the management module is
assigned the ID 0 and the other units, which have stacking modules, are
assigned the ID numbers 1, 2, and 3.
