When using zero-touch stacking, which two prerequisites must be in place to ensure all devices...

Zero-touch stacking simplifies the process of forming a stack by automating the configuration. To ensure all devices join the stack seamlessly, the following prerequisites must be met:

Enable Stacking on All Devices:

Access each switch's CLI.

Enter global configuration mode: configure terminal.

Enable stacking by executing: stack enable.

Save the configuration with: write memory.

Ensure Units Have Clean Configurations:

It's crucial that switches have default configurations to prevent conflicts during the stacking process.

To reset a switch to its default settings:

Enter global configuration mode: configure terminal.

Execute the command: write erase.

Reload the switch to apply the default configuration: reload.

Additional Considerations:

Ensure all switches are running compatible firmware versions to prevent software mismatches.

Verify that stacking cables are correctly connected to facilitate proper communication between units.
