4. After the switch initializes its management software, start a local

management session, as explained in “Starting a Local Management
Session” on page 50.

5. Since this switch will be the master switch of the stack, you have to

assign it the static module ID number 1. For instructions, refer to
“Assigning the Static Module ID Number 1 to the Master Switch” on
page 54.

6. After configuring the stack ID number and resetting the unit,

reestablish your local management session.

7. You should now download onto the switch the configuration file that

you uploaded in the first procedure from the previous master switch.
Here is the command for downloading the file using Xmodem:

load method=xmodem destfile=

filename

.cfg

The filename.cfg variable is the name you want to assign the file when
it is stored in the switch’s file system. The name, which can be up to
fifteen alphanumeric characters, not including the “,cfg” extension,
must be unique from all of the configuration files that already are
stored in the file system on the switch. (To view the names of the files
in the file system, use the SHOW FILE command.)

For example, to assign the name “stack_eng.cfg” to the file, the
command is:

download method=xmodem srcfile=stack_eng.cfg

After entering the command, perform the file transfer using your
terminal emulator program.

Note

You can skip the next step if the name of the configuration file is
“stack.cfg.” If the stack’s active configuration file is a different name,
continue with the next step.

8. You must now designate the file as the switch’s active configuration file

so that it knows to use that file to configure the stack and to save new
configuration settings. The command is SET CONFIG command. Here
is the format:

set config=filename.cfg

The filename.cfg variable is the name of the configuration file you
downloaded to the switch. For example, if the name of the file is
“stack_eng.cfg,” the command would be:

set config=stack_eng.cfg
