Setup a stack on Force10 S4810

Set stack switch priority on the switch you want as master

stack-unit 0 priority 14

Enable the stack groups, this will make a specific interface a stack-port ( see below for a mapping of ports to stack-group ).
In this case I am using the 40gig ports ( port 48 ). Once enabled you will not be able to use that port.

stack-unit 0 stack-group 12

accept the prompt/warning

Setting ports Fo 0/48 as stack group will make their interface configs obsolete after a reload.
[confirm yes/no]:yes

Save your config and reload ( both switches )

check your configuration

sh system
sh system stack-ports
