Slot Numbering
For a stack of OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches to operate as a virtual chassis, each module in the stack
must be assigned a unique slot number. To view the current slot assignments for a stack, use the show ni
or show module commands. The slot number is also displayed on the front panel of each switch by the
LED located on the left side of the chassis (refer to “Status LEDs” on page 2-54 for more information).
There are two ways stacking modules are assigned slot numbers:
• Dynamic slot number assignment by the system software
• Manual slot number assignment by the user
