Usually the way to initial set up the stack is as follows (quick and simple)
- set up the stack devices, but do NOT connect the stacking cables
- turn on all devices and connect to the first on by Console
- connect to them via console program like PUTTY (COMx, 115200 baud , 8N1)
o enter command “config stacking_mode enable” and confirm with “y”
“
DGS-3420-28SC:admin#config stacking_mode enable
Command: config stacking_mode enable
Change Box bootmode may cause devices work restart, still continue?(y/n) y
Please wait, the switch is rebooting...
“
- repeat this step for ALL devices in your setup to enable the stacking
- after enabling stacking on all devices we recommend to manually define BoxID and Priority for Master
and Backup-Master
o config box_id current_box_id 1 new_box_id 1
o config box_priority current_box_id 1 priority 5
o save the settings with “save”
o then reboot the switch again with “reboot”
- repeat this for all the Switches, but increase the “Priority” Value in 5 numbers (f.e.
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60) and the “new_box_id” from 1-12 (depending of the maximum
number of devices which can be stacked together)
- now you can connect the stacking cable on the last 2 10G Ports , which by now are pure stacking ports
- then connect the console to the device with the “H” and run following command
o “show stack_information”, to see then all the stacked devices
“
DGS-3420-28SC:admin#show stack_information
