Stacking PowerConnect 10G Switches: M8024-k, 8024, 8024F51Removing Units from the Stack ConfigurationOnce a stack unit has been removed, it may be desirable to remove it completely from the stackconfiguration. Issuing a no member command in Stack Configuration mode will delete the removedswitch from the configured stack information.For this example Unit #3 (Standby) will be removed. Assume that the bottom Unit in Figure 16 is Unit#3. After removing all cables and re-cabling the stack loop as instructed earlier, perform the followingcommands.console#show switchManagement Standby Preconfig Plugged-in Switch CodeSW Status Status Model ID Model ID Status Version--- ---------- --------- ------------- ------------- ------------- -------1 Mgmt Sw PC8024 PC8024 OK 4.2.0.12 Stack Mbr Oper Stby PC8024F PC8024F OK 4.2.0.13 Unassigned PC8024 Not Present 0.0.0.04 Stack Mbr PC8024F PC8024F OK 4.2.0.1Notice that Unit #3 is no longer present, and it’s Management Status is Unassigned. A new Standby wasalso elected automatically, having moved from Unit #3 to Unit #2. Now go into Stack ConfigurationMode and enter the following to complete the task.console(config)#stackconsole(config-stack)#no member 3console(config-stack)#do show switchManagement Standby Preconfig Plugged-in Switch CodeSW Status Status Model ID Model ID Status Version--- ---------- --------- ------------- ------------- ------------- -------1 Mgmt Sw PC8024 PC8024 OK 4.2.0.12 Stack Mbr Oper Stby PC8024F PC8024F OK 4.2.0.14 Stack Mbr PC8024F PC8024F OK 4.2.0.1Renumbering Stack UnitsNote: Renumbering stack units may hinder management scripts and monitoring software that collectsdata based on particular port traffic. Use renumbering with caution when monitoring ports and beaware that scripts and monitoring parameters may need to be modified.If it is desired to renumber the switch Units to show (in this example) Units 1, 2, and 3, instead of 1, 2,and 4, it will require a brief reset of the stack and clear the configuration of the interfaces on theswitch receiving the new Unit number. The commands are as follows, enter y when prompted.
