Configuring HWIC-9ESW Interfaces
For instructions on how to configure stacking on the HWIC-9ESW card, see the “Configuring Stacking”
section on page 4-11. For more information about how to configure other features on the
HWIC-D-9ESW Card, see the “Configuring Layer 2 Interfaces” section on page 4-6.
Configuring Stacking
Stacking allows two switch modules to behave as a single switch. Follow these steps to configure
stacking for the HWIC-9ESW card.
Step 1 Enter configuration mode for FastEthernet port 8 of the HWIC-9ESW card.
Router(config)# interface FastEthernet1/8
Note You must use FastEthernet port 8 as the stacking port.
Step 2 Use the no shutdown command to bring the interface to an active state.
Router(config)# no shutdown
Note The line protocol state of the stacking port interface displays as down when in use.
Step 3 Use the switchport stacking-partner command to specify the GigabitEthernet port that the
HWIC-9ESW FastEthernet port uses as a stacking partner.
router(config-if)# switchport stacking-partner interface GigabitEthernet0/2
Step 4 Enter the exit command to exit the FastEthernet interface configuration.
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)#
Step 5 Enter configuration mode for the GigabitEthernet port that you want to use as a stacking partner.
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/2
Step 6 Use the no shutdown command to bring the interface to an active state.
Router(config)# no shutdown
Note Once you configure the FastEthernet port as a stacking partner, the corresponding GigabitEthernet
interface is automatically configured as a stacking partner.
Step 7 Connect a crossover Ethernet cable from FastEthernet port 8 of the HWIC-9ESW card to the
GigabitEthernet port that you want to use as a stacking partner.
