 === Setting up Switch Stacks ===
 
-The idea of switch stacks comes from sites that run separate control and experimental networks.  In this scenario, it does not make sense to create experimental vlans on switches that function only as control network switches and vice versa.  The typical DETER deployment scenario will be a switch that handles both.  In this case, we add the same switch to the two different stacks ('Experiment' and 'Control').  We also make sure that is_primary is set to 1 for the Experimental stack line and 0 for the Control stack line (I assume so that we only try creating vlans once per switch).

+
+First, create our switch_stack_types.  For our mini-isi setup, we have the two types:
+
+{{{
+insert into switch_stack_types (stack_id, stack_type, snmp_community, leader) values ('Control', 'generic', 'private', 'hp1');
+insert into switch_stack_types (stack_id, stack_type, snmp_community, leader) values ('Experiment', 'generic', 'private', 'hp1');
+}}}
 
 So in our mini-isi example, we need to add in two entries for our switch hp1:
