5. end
6. show storm-control {broadcast | multicast | unicast}
DETAILED STEPS
Configuring Stacking
Stacking is the connection of two switch modules resident in the same chassis so that they behave as a
single switch. When a chassis is populated with two switch modules, the user must configure both of
them to operate in stacked mode. This is done by selecting one port from each switch module and
configuring it to be a stacking partner. The user must then connect with a cable the stacking partners
from each switch module to physically stack the switch modules. Any one port in a switch module can
be designated as the stacking partner for that switch module.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a pair of ports on two different
switch modules as stacking partners.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. interface fastethernet interface-id
2. no shutdown
3. switchport stacking-partner interface FastEthernet partner-interface-id
