Slot Numbering
For a stack of switches to operate as a virtual chassis, each module in the stack must be assigned a unique 
slot number. To view the current slot assignments for a stack, use the show ni or show module 
commands. The slot number is also displayed on the front panel of each switch by the LED located on the 
left side of the chassis (refer to “Status LEDs” on page 2-53 for more information).
There are two ways stacking modules are assigned slot numbers:
• Dynamic slot number assignment by the system software
• Manual slot number assignment by the user
