Switches

How to configure a two-switch stack using Amer SS3GR26i switches. Because I had such a time I decided I'd better write it down. This assumes you have a stacking cable.

Switch 1:

Log in, and go through the initial setup routine.

enable
config
cluster run
cluster ip-pool [IP address: 192.168.0.1, e.g.]
cluster commander [cluster name: MyCluster, e.g.]
cluster auto-add enable (I suspect this is optional)
mrpp enable
mrpp ring [ring #: 1, e.g.]
control-vlan [vlan #: 1, e.g.]
primary-port ethernet 1/27
secondary-port ethernet 1/28
node-mode master
enable
exit

Switch 2:

Log in, and do the initial setup routine

enable
config
cluster run
mrpp enable
mrpp ring [same ring as in Switch 1]
control-vlan [same vlan as in Switch 1]
primary-port ethernet 1/28
secondary-port ethernet 1/27
enable
exit

Seems simple, yes? It's not nearly as simple as simply connecting two 3Com SuperStack II switches, which is what these will replace. Ah well.

Of course, if you don't do a write when you're done with each switch this will go away when you reboot. Always save your work.
