Parameter Description
Switch ID This parameter defines a switch identifier number for
this switch. This identifier should be unique in the
stack, since the number is used in referring all physical
interfaces available in this switch.
So for example, if this parameter is choosen as
2 , the
physical interfaces will be referred as Gi2/1 , Gi2/1 and
so on.
For non-stacking, stand-alone cases this switch ID is
considered as
zero .
Ports This parameter represents the number of stacking
ports. You can choose the number based upon your
preferred stacking configuration and available CX4
ports. It is recommended that you use two CX4 ports as
stacking ports to get redundancy.
Priority This parameter chooses the priority for this switch in
the Stacking Master selection. It could be configured as
Preferred Master , Backup Master or Preferred Slave .
