Verifying the Stack
To verify stack operations, perform the following procedure:
1. Establish a local management session on any switch in the stack. For
instructions, refer to “Starting a Local Management Session” on
page 79.
2. From the User Exec mode, enter the SHOW STACK command:
awplus> show stack
The command lists the switches in the stack. An example is show in
Figure 45.
Figure 45. SHOW STACK Command
Here are a couple items to consider:
 The command should list all the switches in the stack. If the list is
incomplete, refer to Chapter 9, “Troubleshooting” on page 111.
 The Operational Status field displays “Normal operations” when
the switches are connected in the ring topology and “Not all stack
ports are up” when the switches are connected in the linear
topology.
 The priority values will be 128, the default value, if you did not
change them.
 Given that there is no relationship between the ID numbers and the
selection of the master switch, the active master in the SHOW
STACK command might not have the ID number 1.
3. Do one of the following:
 If you want to change the priority values of the switches, go to
“Setting the Priority Numbers” on page 97. The procedure is
optional.
