STACK
RENUMBER
Command
Every switch in the stack must have a unique ID number. They display
their numbers on the ID LEDs on the front panels. The range is 1 to 8 or 1
to 4, depending on the type of trunk ports. The default is 1. You use the
numbers to identify switches in the command line interface of the
AlliedWare Plus software. Refer to “Switch ID Numbers” on page 80.
The master switch can assign the ID numbers automatically during the first
power-on of the stack, or you can use this command to set them either
before or immediately after building the stack. The command, which is
found in the Global Configuration mode, has this format:
stack current_switch_ID renumber new_switch_ID
The variables are defined here:
current_switch_ID - This is the current ID number of the switch.
You can specify only one ID number.
new_switch_ID - This is the new ID number for the switch. The
default is 1. You can specify only one number.
Changing the ID number requires resetting the switch.
This example changes a switch’s current ID from 1, the default, to 2:
awplus(config)# stack 1 renumber 2
Note
Switches use their priority numbers and MAC addresses, not their ID
numbers, to select the master switch. Consequently, the master
switch of the stack might not have the ID number 1.
SWITCH
PROVISION
Command
You use this command to add member switches to the configuration of the
master switch before powering on the stack for the first time. Here is the
format of the command:
switch switch_ID provision x530
This example adds a provisioned member switch with the ID 2 to the
master switch:
awplus(config)# switch 2 provision x530
You can add one member switch at a time with the command.
