Creating a Virtual Switch Configuration
YoucancreateaconfigurationforaSecureStackB3switchbeforeaddingtheactualphysical
devicetoastack.Thispreconfigurationfeatureincludesconfiguringprotocolsontheportsofthe
“virtualswitch.”
Tocreateavirtualswitchconfigurationinastackenvironment:
1. Displaythetypesofswitchessupportedinthestack,
usingtheshowswitchswitchtype
command(page2‐7).
2. Usingtheoutputoftheshowswitchswitchtypecommand,determinetheswitchindex(SID)
ofthemodelofswitchbeingconfigured.
3. Addthevirtualswitchtothestackusingthesetswitchmembercommand(page 2‐11).Use
theSIDofthe
switchmodel,determinedinthepreviousstep,andtheunitIDthatyouwantto
assigntothisswitchmember.
4. Proceedtoconfiguretheportsofthevirtualswitchasyouwoulddoforphysicallypresent
devices.
ThefollowingexampleaddsaB3G124‐24modeltoastackasunit2of
thestack.Thefirstporton
thatvirtualswitchisthenassociatedwithVLAN555.

Note: If you preconfigure a virtual switch and then add a physical switch of a different type to the
stack as that unit number, any configured functionality that cannot be supported on the physical
switch will cause a configuration mismatch status for that device and the ports of the new device will
join detached. You must clear the mismatch before the new device will properly join the stack.
