General Steps for Creating a Stack
This section describes the general stack creation process. For the detailed
configuration processes, see pages 15-13 through 15-36 for the menu interface
and pages 15-29 through 15-41 for the CLI.
1. Determine the naming conventions for the stack. You will need a stack
name. Also, to help distinguish one switch from another in the stack, you
can configure a unique system name for each switch. Otherwise, the
system name for a switch appearing in the Stacking Status screen appears
as the stack name plus an automatically assigned switch number. For
example:
Stack with unique
system name for each
switch.
Stack named "Online"
with no previously
configured system
names assigned to
individual switches.
For status
descriptions, see the
table on page 15-46.
