Note: Each stack members’ role (including the Master and Standby) can be redefined by the user at any
time by setting the Priority values and reloading the stack.
Logical provisioning of a unit in a stack
If desired, a stack-unit number can be pre-allocated and applied to an MXL switch added to the stack
at a later date. This pre-configuration is stored on the Master switch and applied once the stack unit is
added. When you provision a unit number for an MXL 10/40GbE Switch:
 The base-module ports on the switch (ports 33 and 37/stack groups 0 and 1) are pre-configured for
40GbE operation.
 The 40GbE ports on FlexIO expansion modules (ports 41 and 45 in slot 0; ports 49 and 53 in slot 1)
are pre-configured for 4x10GbE (quad mode) operation.
Once logical provisioning of a unit has been applied using the commands below, configurations can be
made on that unit as if it were an actual physical unit.
