Adding a Chassis to an Existing VSB Stacking System

1. Assure that the replacement chassis has been loaded with the same firmware image loaded in the current system.
2. Configure the new chassis‘ VSB chassis ID to the highest current chassis ID plus 1.
3. Configure the VSB system ID to the system ID of the current stack.
4. Place the new chassis at the bottom of the stack, and cable at least one interconnect link with the chassis above it and one interconnect link with the first chassis in the stack to form a closed ring configuration.
5. Enable bonding on the new chassis‘ 40GbE interconnect ports.
6. Globally enable the VSB system. The system is reset.
7. When the chassis comes up, VSB will do some processing including rationalizing the MAC address to the system and reboot the device again. The new chassis should then fully join the VSB stacking system.
