Startup and General Configuration Summary
Configuring Switches in a Stack
2-22 SecureStack A2 Configuration Guide
• If the running stack uses a closed loop configuration, break the loop and make the stack cable
connections to the new unit to close the loop.
3. Apply power to the new unit.
Creating a Virtual Switch Configuration
You can create a configuration for a SecureStack A2 switch before adding the actual physical device
to a stack. This preconfiguration feature includes configuring protocols on the ports of the “virtual
switch.”
To create a virtual switch configuration in a stack environment:
1. Display the types of switches supported in the stack, using the show switch switchtype
command (Section 2.1.10.3).
2. Using the output of the show switch switchtype command, determine the switch index (SID) of
the model of switch being configured.
3. Add the virtual switch to the stack using the set switch member command (Section 2.1.10.9).
Use the SID of the switch model, determined in the previous step, and the unit ID that you want
to assign to this switch member.
4. Proceed to configure the ports of the virtual switch as you would do for physically present
devices.
The following example adds a A2H124-48P model (SID is 4) to a stack as unit 2 of the stack. The
first port on that virtual switch (fe.2.1) is then associated with VLAN 555.
