Finally, return to themanagement unit and configure the last port. (refer to the following example.)6. Connect the units using stacking cables.NOTE: The device does not require special stacking cables. The cables used to connect the data ports are sufficient.7. Reload the stack one unit at a time.EXEC Privilege modeshow system briefStart with the management unit, then the standby, then each of the members in order of their assigned stack number (or theposition in the stack you want each unit to take).Allow each unit to completely boot, and verify that the stack manager detects the unit, then power the next unit.Example of a SyslogFigure 127. Creating a New StackIn the following example, stack unit is the master management unit, stack unit 2is the standby unit. The cables are connected toeach unit.Configure the stack groups on the units in the following order:• Configure the first stack group on unit 1: stack-unit 1 stack-group 13• Configure the stack groups on unit 2: stack-unit 2 stack-group 14 and stack-unit 2 stack-group 15• Configure the stack groups on unit 3: stack-unit 3 stack-group 12 and stack-unit 3 stack-group 13• Configure the stack groups on unit 4: stack-unit 4 stack-group 13 and stack-unit 4 stack-group 31• Configure the final stack-group on unit 1 to complete the stack: stack-unit 1 stack-group 31When the stack-group configuration is complete, the system prints a syslog for reload.Dell#configureDell(conf)#stack-unit 4 stack-group 13Dell(conf)#02:39:12: %STKUNIT4-M:CP %IFMGR-6-STACK_PORTS_ADDED: Ports Fo 4/52 have beenconfigured asstacking ports.
