Configuring the Member Switches
This section contains the procedures for configuring the member switches
of the stack by assigning them ID numbers and designating Gigabit ports
as the stack trunk: Here are the procedures:

You have to perform the procedures on each member switch individually,
before connecting the trunk Gigabit ports. The procedures should be
performed in the order presented here.
Note
The procedures require resetting member switches. Some network
traffic will be lost if the ports are connected to an active network.
General Steps for
the Member
Switches
Configuring the member switches has two parts. Part I has these main
steps:
1. Start a local management session on the switch.
2. Assign an ID number in the range of 2 to 4 to the member switch with
the SWITCH RENUMBER command in the Global Configuration
mode.
3. Save your changes with the WRITE command in the Privilege Exec
mode.
4. Restart the switch with the REBOOT command.
Part II has these main steps:
1. Start a new local management session with the switch.
2. Designate Gigabit front panel ports to be the trunk ports with the
STACK ENABLE FRONT-PANEL-PORTS command in the Global
Configuration mode. You have to perform this command before
designating the actual Gigabit ports of the trunk.
3. Designate up to eight Gigabit ports to be the stack trunk with the
STACKPORT command in the port interface modes.
