Creating a New Stack
Prior to creating a stack, know which unit will be the management unit and which will be the standby unit.
You must also enable the front ports of the units for stacking. For more information, see “Enable Front End
Port Stacking” on page 981.
To create a new stack:
Save the stacking configuration on the ports.
write memory
EXEC Privilege
Reload the switch. FTOS automatically assigns a number
to the new unit and adds it as member switch in the stack.
The new unit synchronizes its running and startup
configurations with the stack.
reload
EXEC Privilege
After the units are reloaded, the system reboots. The units come up in a stack after the reboot completes.
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode
1 Power up all units in the stack
2 Verify that each unit has the same FTOS version
prior to stacking them together.
show version
EXEC Privilege
3 Manually configure unit numbers for each unit,
so that the stacking is deterministic upon boot up.
Renumbering will cause the unit to reboot. The
stack-unit default for all new units is stack-unit 0.
