The above command displays all potential stack ports (all SFP+ interfaces), and also identifies those

currently in Stack Mode. For additional information on stacking, consult the Dell PowerConnect M8024-

k User’s Configuration Guide.

Web Interface Method

Be sure all switches are at the same firmware version prior to configuring the stack, or use the Stack

Firmware Synchronization feature (a.k.a. boot auto-copy-fw command) to synchronize all firmware

during the stack setup process to that of the Master. The Stack Firmware Synchronization feature is

explained below in this example.

The IP address of the CMC (Chassis Management Controller) can be located on the front display of the

M1000e chassis. From the Main Menu, select Enclosure > IP Summary to view the IP address. Using

this IP address, the CMC Web UI can be accessed from a remote location on the network.

1. Enter the IP address of the M1000e chassis CMC into Internet Explorer or other supported

browser on the network to bring up the management interface login as shown in the Figure

below.
