334 Stack Configuration 4 Networking Switch Modules Figure 4-213. Stack Configuration Clicking the STACK SETTINGS tab brings up the STACK CONFIGURATION page, which configures the stacking feature. The parameters for this page are shown in the following table. Parameter Switch ID Ports Priority Description This parameter defines a switch identifier number for this switch. This identifier should be unique in the stack, since the number is used in referring all physical interfaces available in this switch. So for example, if this parameter is choosen as 2, the physical interfaces will be referred as Gi2/1, Gi2/1 and so on. For non-stacking, stand-alone cases this switch ID is considered as zero. This parameter represents the number of stacking ports. You can choose the number based upon your preferred stacking configuration and available CX4 ports. It is recommended that you use two CX4 ports as stacking ports to get redundancy. This parameter chooses the priority for this switch in the Stacking Master selection. It could be configured as Preferred Master, Backup Master or Preferred Slave.
