Setting the ID Number
The chassis must be assigned the ID number 1 or 2. The ID number is
used to identify the chassis when you configure the device with the
command line interface. The two chassis of the stack must be assigned
different ID numbers. To set the ID number on the chassis, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the Privileged Exec mode, enter the SHOW STACK command to
view the current ID number of the switch:
awplus# show stack
Figure 177 is an example of the command.
Figure 177. SHOW STACK Command
The command lists the AT-SBx81CFC960 Controller Fabric Cards in
the stack. Given that the switch is not operating as part of a stack yet,
the command lists only the controller cards in the switch you are
currently configuring. The switch in Figure 177 has two controller
cards. The command displays only one controller card if the chassis
has only one card.
The ID number of a controller card contains two numbers. The first
number is the chassis ID number. This number is always 1 or 2. If the
chassis has two controller cards, both cards have the same chassis ID
number. The second number is the slot number in which the controller
card is installed. For example, the first controller card in the example
has the ID number 1.5, meaning that the card has the chassis ID
number 1 and is installed in slot 5 of the unit. The second controller
card has the same chassis ID number and is installed in slot 6.
2. Check the chassis ID number of the controller cards. (As just
explained, the chassis ID number is the first number in the ID number.)
The chassis ID number can be 1 or 2. The default value is 1. The two
chassis of a stack must have different ID numbers. Do one of the
following:
 If the ID number is already set correctly for the chassis, go to
“Setting the Priority Number” on page 301. For example, if you are
