Chapter 5: Powering On the Switch

3. Review the following items:
If the Operational Status is “Stacking Hardware Disabled,” the
VCStack feature is already disabled on the switch. The switch is
ready for operations as a stand-alone switch in your network. No
further installation steps are required.
If the Operational Status is “Standalone Unit,” as shown in Figure
35 on page 63, the VCStack feature is active on the unit. You must
disable it by performing the steps in the rest of this procedure
before you can use the SFP+ stacking slots with regular SFP or
SFP+ transceivers. The reason the status says “standalone” is
because the switch considers itself a stack of one switch.
4. Move to the Global Configuration mode by entering the ENABLE and
CONFIGURE TERMINAL commands, as shown in Figure 36.

5. To disable the VCStack feature on the switch, enter the NO STACK
ENABLE command, which has this format:
no stack
id
enable
The ID parameter is the ID number of the switch, displayed on the ID
LED. Replace the parameter with whatever number is on the ID LED.
For example, if the ID number of the switch is 1, the default value,
enter the command as follows:
awplus(config)# no stack 1 enable
This confirmation prompt in Figure 37 is displayed.

6. Type Y to disable VCStack on the switch or N to cancel the procedure.
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
awplus(config)#
Warning; This will disable the stacking hardware on member-1.
