3 Optional stack configuration

Note: If you wish to use a stack configuration instead of LAG, follow the instructions below instead of

section 2.

One advantage of stacked switches is that they can be managed as a single switch; however firmware

updates will update all members of the stack simultaneously and therefore should only be done during

planned downtime.

3.1 Delete startup configuration on first switch

FTOS>enable

FTOS#delete startup-config

Proceed to delete startup-config [confirm yes/no]yes

FTOS#reload

System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]no

Proceed with reload [confirm yes/no]yes

Note: The switch will reboot.

3.2 Configure stack on the first switch

FTOS>enable

FTOS#config

FTOS(conf)#stack-unit 0 priority 1

FTOS(conf)#stack-unit 0 stack-group 12

FTOS(conf)#stack-unit 0 stack-group 13
