Switch Management Commands 2238switch renumberUse the switch renumber command in Global Configuration mode to changethe identifier for a switch in the stack.Syntaxswitch oldunit renumber newunit• oldunit — The current switch identifier. (Range: Dependent onSeries/Model)• newunit — The updated value of the switch identifier. (Range:Dependent on Series/Model)Command ModeGlobal Configuration modeUser GuidelinesUpon execution, the switch is configured with the configuration informationfor the new switch if any is available. The old switch configurationinformation is retained; however, the original switch will be operationallydetached. This means the interfaces show as detached in show interfacesstatus output and no switch type will show for the Plugged-in Model Id in theoutput of the show switch command.This command may be executed on the stack master or a standaloneunit.This command reboots the renumbered switch. After renumbering aswitch, it is important to let the master switch synchronize the NSF statebefore proceeding with additional stack management operations. Use theshow nsf command to check the NSF state. If the switch shows Warm RestartReady as Yes, then the master switch state is synchronized with the standbyswitch. Failure to observe this caution may result in the master unitspontaneously resetting due to configuration mismatch in order to re-elect amaster unit. The range of switch numbers is 1 to maximum stack size. Themaximum stack size varies, depending on the switch model. The switchrenumber command prompt will display the valid range.
