With provisioning With provisioning, you can configure stack members and their ports ready for future
addition, even though they are not currently physically present:
For information on using this command, see “switch provision (stack)” on page 83.29 .
Now that the switch is provisioned within the stack—although not yet physically
present—you can move on to provisionally configure the switch ports themselves. The
following example sets the port speed of port 2.0.1 to be 1000 Mbps.
You can apply provisional configuration to all interface related commands. However, you
cannot apply provisioning where it changes the network’s physical topology. For example,
you can't provision a switch as stack member 3 and then later change it - while its position
is still vacant - to stack member 4. In this situation, you would need to unprovision the
switch, then provision it again as stack member 4.
The following example creates a provisioned configuration that shows the association of
ports with a VLAN:
awplus(config)# switch 2 provision
awplus(config)# interface port2.0.1
awplus(config-if)# speed 1000
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 12 state enable
awplus(config-vlan)# exit
awplus(config)# interface port2.0.1
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access
awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 12
awplus(config-if)# exit
awplus(config)# interface port2.0.2-port2.0.26
awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access
