storing your configuration changes. If you do not save your changes, they will be
discarded and you will have to reenter them when you reboot the switch in the next
step.
awplus# write

following:
- If the ID LED is displaying the number 1, VCStack is now enabled on the switch. Go
to “Verifying the Master Switch,” next.
- If the ID LED is displaying “0,” VCStack is still disabled. Repeat this procedure,
being sure to issue the WRITE command to save your change before resetting the
switch.
