Configuring a Stack
When
stacking
mode
is
enabled
on
the
switch,
the
configuration
is
reset
to
factory
default
and
the
port
numbering
changes.
When
a
switch
mode
is
changed
from
stand
‐
alone
to
stack
or
from
stack
to
stand
‐
alone,
the
active
and
backup
configuration
will
be
erased.
We
recommended
that
you
save
the
configuration
to
an
external
device
before
changing
the
switch
mode.
Configuration Overview
This
section
provides
procedures
for
creating
a
stack
of
switches.
The
high
‐
level
procedure
is
as
follows:
Configure
the
stack
settings
to
be
available
after
the
next
reboot:
Choose
one
Master
switch
for
the
entire
stack.
Set
all
stack
switches
to
stacking
mode.
Configure
the
same
stacking
VLAN
for
all
switches
in
the
stack.
Configure
the
desired
stacking
interlinks.
Reboot
the
stack
switches.
Configure
the
stack
after
the
reboot:
Bind
Member
switches
to
the
Master.
Assign
a
Backup
switch.
These
tasks
are
covered
in
detail
in
the
following
sections.
Best Configuration Practices
The
following
are
guidelines
for
building
an
effective
switch
stack:
Always
connect
the
stack
switches
in
a
complete
ring
topology
(see
Avoid
disrupting
the
stack
connections
unnecessarily
while
the
stack
is
in
operation.
For
enhanced
redundancy
when
creating
port
LAGs,
include
ports
from
different
stack
members
in
the
LAGs.
Avoid
altering
the
stack
asnum
and
csnum
definitions
unnecessarily
while
the
stack
is
in
operation.
When
in
stacking
mode,
the
highest
QoS
priority
queue
is
reserved
for
internal
stacking
requirements.
Therefore,
only
seven
priority
queues
will
be
available
for
regular
QoS
use.
Configure
only
as
many
QoS
levels
as
necessary.
This
allows
the
best
use
of
packet
buffers.
