System information
Stacking PowerConnect 10G Switches: M8024-k, 8024, 8024F

Note: The running-configuration doesn’t need to be copied to the startup-configuration in order to
create the stack on the next reload. When the stacking commands above were added to the running-
configuration they were also added to the meta-data (see meta-data considerations above) and will be
utilized from that location upon reload. After a reload the running-configuration will continue to show
the stack members, though may not be reflected in the startup-configuration until a “copy running-
configuration startup-configuration” command is issued.
Stack Member units serial ports and management IP addresses are no longer accessible for managing
those devices. The Master’s management ports are required to monitor and configure every port in
the stack.
Validation
After the entire stack reloads, it can be validated by entering the following commands on the Master
switch.
console#show switch chassis-mgmt
Management
Switch Status Slot
------ ------------ -------
1 Mgmt Switch A
2 Stack Member B2
3 Stack Member C2
The command above displays the slots in the M1000e where each stack member resides. If using
multiple M1000e chassis, you may see multiples of the same slot name. For example, it may display all
three switches as being in slot B2, if each stack member resides in B2 in three different M1000e
chassis.
