Chapter 5 Managing Switch Stacks
Understanding Switch Stacks
Be careful when using multiple CLI sessions to the stack master. Commands that you enter in one session
are not displayed in the other sessions. Therefore, it is possible that you might not be able to identify the
session from which you entered a command.
are not displayed in the other sessions. Therefore, it is possible that you might not be able to identify the
session from which you entered a command.
We recommend using only one CLI session when managing the switch stack.
Connectivity to Specific Stack Members
If you want to configure a specific stack member port, you must include the stack member number in the
CLI command interface notation. For more information, see the
CLI command interface notation. For more information, see the
To debug a specific stack member, you can access it from the stack master by using the session
stack-member-number
stack-member-number
privileged EXEC command. The stack member number is appended to the system
prompt. For example,
Switch-2#
is the prompt in privileged EXEC mode for stack member 2, and the
system prompt for the stack master is
Switch
. Only the show and debug commands are available in a
CLI session to a specific stack member.
Switch Stack Configuration Scenarios
provides switch stack configuration scenarios. Most of the scenarios assume that at least two
switches are connected through their StackWise Plus ports.
