Table 19. Stacking Worksheet Columns
Column Description
Location Use this column to write down the physical
locations of the devices, such as their buildings
or equipment rooms. The information can be
useful in locating the switches of the stack if they
are in different locations.
ID Each switch in a stack has to have a unique ID
number, in the range of 1 to 4. They display the
numbers on the ID LEDs on the front panels and
you use the numbers to configure the individual
ports. Allied Telesis recommends assigning the
ID 1, the default value, to the master switch. You
should decide ahead of time, before beginning
the configuration procedures, the ID assignments
of the switches.
