Figure 125. Creating a new stack
In the above example, stack unit 1 is the master management unit, stack unit 2 is the standby unit. The cables are connected to each unit.
Configure the stack groups on the units in the following order:
• Configure the first stack group on unit 1: stack-unit 1 stack-group 13
• Configure the stack groups on unit 2: stack-unit 2 stack-group 14 and stack-unit 2 stack-group 15
• Configure the stack groups on unit 3: stack-unit 3 stack-group 12 and stack-unit 3 stack-group 13
• Configure the stack groups on unit 4: stack-unit 4 stack-group 13 and stack-unit 4 stack-group 31
• Configure the final stack-group on unit 1 to complete the stack: stack-unit 1 stack-group 31
When the stack-group configuration 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.
NOTE:
Before executing show commands, you must wait for 10 to 15 seconds for the download-agent process to start.
To view the stack unit information after the reload, use the show system brief command.
