Identify a member in a stack

Dilanjan

Hi Team

I am new to networking, I have a 3750 switch stack and they are not externally labelled as switch 1 , switch 2, etc... So I need to know whether there is a way to find which switch is the primary switch in the stack through CLI. 

 

(if  I connect to any of the swithes through console port and find which switch in the stack is the primary switch and it's switch number in the stack)

 

Thank in advance

 

Kind Regards,
Dilan

Hi

 You can identify it with the command "show switch"

The primary switch is the master and it will be identified as such.  The command "show version" also gives you a similar output.

It is expected that the stack is built in the way that the first switch is the slot  Gi1/x/x and the second is the Gi2/x/x and so on so forth.

Sometimes people mess up the stack and dont keed this order which make the stack harder to manage. You can fix this as well if that is the case.

Press the "Mode" button until the LED "Stack" is lit. 
Then look at the blinking access ports -- This is the only way to visibly determine each switch member's "number".

Will they blink one after the other eg: Primary Switch first and the others follow?

Look at the switch port LED when the LED is at Stack. 
Switch 1 will cause port 1 to blink. 

Switch 2 will cause port 2 to blink.

Switch 3 will cause port 3 to blink.
