Introduction
You can determine the current switch stack status from the console
by entering the
show stacking
command.
Figure 1-4. Show Stacking Command
The current stacking status of the switch stack is displayed along
with the individual switch’s stacking mode. In the above case, there
are two switches in the stack and they are both in
AUTO
mode.
The stacking mode refers to the method the switches in the switch
stack will use to determine which switch is selected as the Master
switch.
AUTO
mode uses a comparison of the individual switch’s
MAC addresses
−
the switch with the lowest numerical value MAC
address becomes the Master switch.
Detailed instructions for configuring and managing a switch stack
are given in the User’s Guide, while details concerning the switch
stacking commands are given in the section titled “Stacking
Configuration Commands” in this manual.
