5. Assign the switch its stack ID number. For instructions, refer to
“Changing the Stack ID Number” on page 85.
6. After configuring the stack ID number, reestablish your local
management session.
7. Download onto the switch the configuration file you uploaded earlier
from the previous master switch or from one of the member switches.
To download the file from your computer to the file system in the
switch, go to the Privilege Exec mode and enter the COPY ZMODEM
command, as shown here:
awplus> enable
awplus# copy zmodem
You will see this prompt:
Waiting to receive ...
8. Use your terminal or terminal emulator program to download the boot
configuration file to the switch. The download must be Zmodem.
After receiving the entire file, the switch stores it in the file system.
9. To confirm that the switch received the file, use the DIR command in
the Privileged Exec mode to list the files in the file system.
10. To designate the file as the active boot configuration file on the switch,
use the BOOT CONFIG-FILE command in the Global Configuration
mode:
boot config-file filename .cfg
This example of the command designates “stack_eng.cfg” as the
switch’s new active boot configuration file:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# boot config-file stack_eng.cfg
Note
Do not issue the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-
CONFIG command because if you do, the switch overwrites all of
the settings in the configuration file with its current settings. If you
inadvertently enter the command, download the configuration file
again from your workstation, starting with step 6.
