Figure 119. Creating a New Stack
In the following example, stack unit is the master management unit, stack unit 2is the standby unit. The cables are connected to 
each unit.
Congure the stack groups on the units in the following order:
•
Congure the rst stack group on unit 1: stack-unit 1 stack-group 13
• Congure the stack groups on unit 2: stack-unit 2 stack-group 14 and stack-unit 2 stack-group 15
• Congure the stack groups on unit 3: stack-unit 3 stack-group 12 and stack-unit 3 stack-group 13
• Congure the stack groups on unit 4: stack-unit 4 stack-group 13 and stack-unit 4 stack-group 31
• Congure the nal stack-group on unit 1 to complete the stack: stack-unit 1 stack-group 31
When the stack-group conguration is complete, the system prints a syslog for reload.
Dell#configure
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 4 stack-group 13
Dell(conf)#02:39:12: %STKUNIT4-M:CP %IFMGR-6-STACK_PORTS_ADDED: Ports Fo 4/52 have been 
configured as
stacking ports. Please save and reload for config to take effect
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 4 stack-group 14
Dell(conf)#02:39:15: %STKUNIT4-M:CP %IFMGR-6-STACK_PORTS_ADDED: Ports Fo 4/56 have been 
configured as
stacking ports. Please save and reload for config to take effect
Dell(conf)#
Dell#02:39:18: %STKUNIT4-M:CP %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console
Reload each unit in the stack. After the reload is complete, the four units come up as a stack with unit 1 as the management unit, 
unit 2 as the standby unit, and the remaining units as stack-members. All units in the stack can be accessed from the management 
unit.
To view the stack unit information after the reload, use the show system brief command.
The following example shows how to congure two new switches for stacking using 10G ports.
 Dell-1(conf)#stack-unit 0 stack-group 0
Setting ports Te 1/1 Te 1/2 Te 1/3 as stack group will make their interface configs 
obsolete after
a reload.
[confirm yes/no]:yes
Dell-2(conf)#stack-unit 0 stack-group 0
Setting ports Te 1/1 Te 1/2 Te 1/3 as stack group will make their interface configs 
obsolete after
a reload.
[confirm yes/no]:yes
