You need help setting up the stack or setting of the VLANs or both?

Have you looked at the user guide for your IOS version?

Hi,

[toprock1970]

To create the vlan do something like:

conf t
vlan 10
name Production
exit

int g1/0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10
 

Is this what you are looking for?

To see FlexStack operation and member status, use the Cisco IOS Software CLI command “show switch.” This command gives the basic information, including number of members, which member is the master, and state of all members. The following is a sample output of the command for a stack of 2960-S members:

C2960S-48# show switch

Switch/Stack Mac Address : 0022.bdc4.1d80

H/W Current

Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State

----------------------------------------------------------

*1 Master 0022.bdc4.1d80 14 1 Ready

2 Member 0022.bdc4.2300 1 1 Ready

3 Member ec30.912e.2380 1 1 Ready

4 Member 0026.0ac1.3e00 1 1 Ready

The preceding example shows that member 1 is the master. The master has stack priority of 14. All other members have the default stack priority of 1. The state of all members is ready.

>>> For changing the Priority use below command

C2960-48(config)#switch 1 priority 14

After making the stack ,are you not able to create vlan as we create vlans in normal standalone switch?
