Configuring basic stack settings
After you install the stack member switches, power on each switch, and log in to configure their
member IDs, member priorities, and stack port bindings.
When you configure basic stack settings, follow these guidelines:
•
Assign the master switch the highest member priority.
•
When connecting two neighboring IRF member switches, you must connect the physical
interfaces of IRF-port 1 on one switch to the physical interfaces of IRF-port 2 on the other
switch.
For more information about configuring basic stack settings, see the user guide for the switch.
Connecting the stack physical interfaces
When you connect the stack physical interfaces, follow these guidelines:
•
Use twisted pair cables, SFP+ network cables, or SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to
connect the stack member switches.
•
Wear an ESD wrist strap when you connect twisted pair cables, SFP+ network cables, or SFP+
transceiver modules and fibers. For how to connect them, see
