Stacking Switches (CLI)

Before physically connecting the switches: Enable stacking and set one of the 

switches with lower stacking priority number, so it becomes Stack Master. 

Switch#

Switch#

Switch#

Once stacked, the management of the switch stack can only be done through the 

“Primary Master” switch.
