I've stacked Cisco Catalyst 2960S, 3650, 3750-X switches in my previous
posts, but this time I'll configure and stack four Cisco 2960-X switches. The Cisco 2960-X uses the FlexStack module and cable.
Use a number #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the blank module cover and insert the FlexStack module located behind the switch.
I followed stacking for the four switches using the Cisco
guide and looked something below.
After connecting all the FlexStack cables, I first powered on the Master (topmost) switch and waited until it's fully booted up. Then I powered on the Member switches in sequence (from top to bottom) in order to avoid the stack election process. I just connected the console cable to the console port on the Master switch and observed the bootup and stacking process.
