Figure 119. Creating a New S4820T 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.
Configure the stack groups on the units in the following order:
• Configure the first stack group on unit 1: stack-unit 1 stack-group 13
• Configure the stack groups on unit 2: stack-unit 2 stack-group 14 and stack-unit 2
stack-group 15
• Configure the stack groups on unit 3: stack-unit 3 stack-group 12 and stack-unit 3
stack-group 13
• Configure the stack groups on unit 4: stack-unit 4 stack-group 13 and stack-unit 4
stack-group 14
• Configure the final stack-group on unit 1 to complete the stack: stack-unit 1 stack-group 12
When the stack-group configuration is complete, the system prints a syslog for reload.

Reload each unit in the stack. After the reload is complete, the four units will 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.
