Preconfiguring a Stack Member
To preconfigure a stack member before connecting the physical unit to the
stack, use the show support switchtype command to obtain the SID of the
unit to be added.
The example in this section demonstrates pre-configuring a PowerConnect
8024F switch on a stand-alone PowerConnect 8024 switch.
To configure the switch:
1 View the list of SIDs to determine which SID identifies the switch to
preconfigure.
console#show supported switchtype
SID
Switch Mode ID
------ ------------------------- ----------
1
PC8024
2
PC8024F
2 Preconfigure the 8024F switch (SID = 2) as member number 2 in the
stack.
console#configure
console(config)#stack
console(config-stack)#member 2 2
console(config-stack)#exit
console(config)#exit
