Functional Notes

Configuring the interface for stack mode (using the switchport mode stack command) enables the switch
to communicate with other switches that it is stacking capable.

Ιf the switch is configured as the stack master (using the (config)#stack master command), it will begin
advertising itself as a stack master.

Ιf the switch is configured as the stack member (using the (config)#stack member command), it will
begin advertising other stack masters that it knows about.

Stack mode also allows the port to transmit and receive packets on all VLANs that are included in the
VLAN allowed list.

Usage Examples

The following example sets the port to be a trunk port:

(config)#interface eth 0/1

(config-eth 0/1)#switchport mode trunk
