Page 5: Introduction
Introduction This document illustrates how to configure Dell Networking S4048-ON switches for use with Dell™ PS Series storage while using Dell best practices. The recommended configuration uses Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) for inter-switch connections. Optional steps are provided in section 3 to enable Data Center Bridging (DCB) and for stack configurations. - Page 6 DCB operation, follow the configuration steps in this Switch Configuration Guide as outlined below. If you are upgrading from Dell firmware version prior to 9.8.0.0, your DCB settings in the running configuration file will be preserved and you may continue to use the original DCB command-line syntax.

How to configure Stack like Cisco Stack in Dell S4148U-ON
To configure a stack on a Dell S4048-ON switch similar to a Cisco Stack, follow these steps:
1. Configure the First Switch (Master):
```
Dell#configure
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 1 priority 1
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 1 stack-group 12
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 1 stack-group 13
Dell(conf)#exit
Dell#copy running-config startup-config
Dell#reload
```
2. Delete the Startup Configuration on the Second Switch:
```
Dell>enable
Dell#delete startup-config
Proceed to delete startup-config [confirm yes/no]yes
Dell#reload
```
3. Configure the Second Switch in the Stack:
```
Dell>enable
Dell#stack-unit 1 renumber 2
```
*Note: The switch will need to reboot after confirming the renumbering.*
```
Dell#configure
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 2 priority 1
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 2 stack-group 12
Dell(conf)#stack-unit 2 stack-group 13
Dell(conf)#exit
Dell#copy running-config startup-config
Dell#reload
```
4. Verify the Stack Configuration:
From the first switch (Master) CLI, run the following commands:
```
Dell#show redundancy
Dell#show boot system stack-unit all
```
*Note: The MASTER LED on the front panel will show a steady light for the master unit and a blinking light for the standby unit.*
This process ensures that multiple Dell S4048-ON switches form a single logical stack, similar to Cisco stacking.
