Do you accept the unit ids (y/n)?: y
To accept the unit ID assignments, type y. If you do not want to accept the ID assignments, type
n. You can use secure-setup to renumber the units in your stack. Refer to “Renumbering stack
units” on page 313.
If you accept the unit IDs, the stack is formed, and you can see the stack topology using the
show stack command.

Current stack management MAC is 00e0.52ab.cd00
For ICX devices, it displays an equals sign (=) to show connections between trunk ports, for
example:

NOTE
For field descriptions for the show stack command, refer to “Displaying stack information” on
page 293.
NOTE
In this output, D indicates a dynamic configuration. After you perform a write memory, this display
will change to S, for static configuration.
6. The Active Controller automatically checks all prospective stack members to see if they are
password protected. If a unit is password protected, you will be asked to enter the password
before you can add the unit. If you do not know the password, take one of the following actions:
• Discontinue secure-setup by entering ^C.
• Obtain the device password from the administrator.
• Continue secure-setup for your stack. The password-protected device and all devices
connected behind it will not be included in the setup process.
In the following example, the second unit is password protected, so you are asked for the
password.
