Parameter Description
Switch ID
This parameter defines a switch identifier number for this switch. This
identifier should be unique in the stack, since the number is used in
referring all physical interfaces available in this switch.
So for example, if this parameter is choosen as 2 , the physical interfaces
will be referred as Gi2/1 , Gi2/1 and so on.
For non-stacking, stand-alone cases this switch ID is considered as zero .
Ports
This parameter represents the number of stacking ports. You can choose
the number based upon your preferred stacking configuration and
available CX4 ports. It is recommended that you use two CX4 ports as
stacking ports to get redundancy.
