speed 5G, or Gigabit SFP as the stack trunk. Here are the main steps to
Part I:
1. Start a local management session on the switch.
2. Remove the SFP+ S1 and S2 ports as the default trunk ports on the
switch with the NO STACKPORT command.
3. Designate the trunk ports of to be the stack trunk with the
STACKPORT command in the port interface modes.
4. Assign the master switch the priority 1 with the STACK PRIORITY
command in the Global Configuration mode to designate it as master
switch of the stack. This step is optional.
5. Save the changes with the WRITE command in the Privileged Exec
mode.
Here are the main steps to Part II:
1. Add the member switches as provisioned units to the configuration of
the master switch, with the SWITCH PROVISION command.
2. Designate up to eight Gigabit ports on the provisioned member
switches with the STACKPORT command in the port interface modes.
3. Save your changes to the master switch with the WRITE command in
the Privilege Exec mode.
4. Reboot the master switch with the REBOOT command.
5. Start a new local management session.
6. Verify the changes on the master switch with the SHOW STACK and
SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG INTERFACE command.
