The following prerequisites for creating a switch stack template must be met:
- You must have an ExtremeCloud
IQ license key for every switch in the physical stack. As a best practice,
onboard keys for the primary, then the standby, and then the remaining stack
members.
- Onboard each switch. Ensure
that you have followed the procedures in Configure Switch Templates before
you complete the cable connections and power on the switches to form the
physical stack.
- Ensure the switches are
cabled and powered on in the required stack configuration order (primary,
standby, and members).
After you have onboarded the switches in your stack, you must create a stack template
in ExtremeCloud IQ that exactly matches the physical stack.
