Preparing for Switch Replacement
For switch replacement, the above process becomes more complicated. This
section provides instructions for replacing a defunct switch.
Choosing Switch Replacement
The initial-boot script asks if this is a switch replacement. Answer yes to
invoke the questions that are required to replace the failed switch. For
example,
...
A switch replacement requires additional configuration questions.

Matching the Private Subnet
The next set of questions ask for the switch’s private subnet , the private
VLAN for that subnet, and the VLAN for a private metalog subnet . If the
failed switch was in a redundant pair and/or Resilient-Overlay Network
(RON), the private subnets of the replacement switch should match those of
the switch that failed. Each ARX uses its private subnet for communication
with other ARXes in the same RON and/or the switch’s redundant peer. All
private subnets in the RON and/or pair are carried by the same VLAN. This
private VLAN, and the separate metalog VLAN, must be reserved for ARX
traffic only.
