■ No Manager password
■ 14 or fewer stack members at the moment
General Steps for Creating a Stack
This section describes the general stack creation process. For the detailed
configuration processes, see pages 14-13 through 14-36 for the menu interface
and pages 14-29 through 14-41 for the CLI.
1. Determine the naming conventions for the stack. You will need a stack
name. Also, to help distinguish one switch from another in the stack, you
can configure a unique system name for each switch. Otherwise, the
system name for a switch appearing in the Stacking Status screen appears
as the stack name plus an automatically assigned switch number. For
example:
Figure 14-4. Using the System Name to Help Identify Individual Switches
Stack with unique
system name for each
switch.
Stack named "Online"
with no previously
configured system
names assigned to
individual switches.
For status
descriptions, see the
table on page 14-46.
