Service Manual

Start with the management unit, then the standby, then each of the members in order of their assigned stack number (or the
position in the stack you want each unit to take).
Allow each unit to completely boot, and verify that the stack manager detects the unit, then power the next unit.
Example of a Syslog
In the following example, stack unit is the master management unit, stack unit 2is the standby unit. The cables are connected to
each unit.
Congure the stack groups on the units in the following order:
• Congure the rst stack group on unit 1: stack-unit 1 stack-group 13
• Congure the stack groups on unit 2: stack-unit 2 stack-group 14 and stack-unit 2 stack-group 15
• Congure the stack groups on unit 3: stack-unit 3 stack-group 12 and stack-unit 3 stack-group 13
• Congure the stack groups on unit 4: stack-unit 4 stack-group 13 and stack-unit 4 stack-group 31
• Congure the nal stack-group on unit 1 to complete the stack: stack-unit 1 stack-group 31
When the stack-group conguration is complete, the system prints a syslog for reload.

Reload each unit in the stack. After the reload is complete, the four units 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.
To view the stack unit information after the reload, use the show system brief command.
