Note: The switch will reboot.
5.4 Configure stack on the second switch
FTOS>enable
FTOS#stack-unit 0 renumber 1
Note: The switch will reboot.
FTOS#config
FTOS(conf)#stack-unit 1 priority 1
FTOS(conf)#stack-unit 1 stack-group 12
FTOS(conf)#stack-unit 1 stack-group 13
FTOS(conf)#exit
FTOS#copy running-config startup-config
FTOS#reload
5.5 Verify stack configuration
From the first switch (Master) CLI, confirm that the stack has formed:
FTOS#show redundancy
Note: The switch front panel will show a steady light in the MASTER LED for the Master unit and a
blinking light for the Standby unit. All of the following configuration step must be performed from the
master switch.
5.6 Configure out of band (OOB) management port
FTOS#config
FTOS(conf)#interface ManagementEthernet 0/0
FTOS(conf-if-ma-0/0)#no shutdown
FTOS(conf-if-ma-0/0)#ip address ipaddress mask
FTOS(conf-if-ma-0/0)#no shutdown
FTOS(conf-if-ma-0/0)#exit
5.7 Configure route for OOB management port (optional)
FTOS(conf)#management route X.Y.Z.0 /24 A.B.C.1
Note: X.Y.Z.0 is the network your management system is connecting from and A.B.C.1 is the gateway for
the switch. If your management system is on the same subnet as the switch, the previous step may be
omitted. The example above assumes a class C subnet mask.
