x530L-18GHXm – This example removes the stacking function from the
default stacking ports 17 and 18:
STACK
ENABLE
This command enables the VCStack feature on the switch. You will
probably not have to perform this command because the default setting for
the feature is enabled. However, if for any reason the feature was
disabled, you can enable it by entering the STACK ENABLE command in
the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command:
If you ever want to disable stacking, such as to use the switch as a stand-
alone unit, enter the NO STACK ENABLE command, shown here:
STACK
PRIORITY
This command assigns priority numbers to the switches of the stack. The
switches use the numbers to select the master switch. The lower the
number the higher the priority. The unit with the lowest number becomes
the master. If both switches have the same priority value, their MAC
address is used to determine the master. As with priority numbers, the
lower the MAC address, the higher the priority. A switch can have only one
priority number.
Allied Telesis recommends changing a switch’s priority number to match
its ID number. For example, the switch with ID 1 should be assigned
priority 1, switch with ID 2 should be assigned priority 2, and so on. This is
not required, but it can make managing and troubleshooting the stack
easier.
The STACK PRIORITY command is found in the Global Configuration
mode and has the following format:
The variables are defined here:

switch_ID – This is the ID number of the switch. The range is 1 to
8. You can specify only one ID number.

priority_number – This is the new priority number for the switch.
You can specify only one number. The range is 0 to 255. The
default is 128.
