When the stack comes up following the reboot, the manually-configured slot numbers display as follows:
The
stack set slot
command can also be used to manually correct duplicate saved slot assignments within
the stack topology. Refer to pages
6-14
through
6-16
for detailed information.
Reverting to the Dynamic Slot Numbering Model
To clear the
boot.slot.cfg
files from the stack’s /flash directories, use the
stack clear slot
command on all
modules and then reboot the stack. For example:
-> stack clear slot 1
-> stack clear slot 2
-> stack clear slot 3
-> stack clear slot 4
-> stack clear slot 5
-> stack clear slot 6
-> stack clear slot 7
-> stack clear slot 8
-> reload all
The commands shown above clear the saved slot information from all modules in an eight-module stacked
configuration and then reboot the stack. Because the system software no longer has preassigned slot infor-
mation to read during the boot process, the stack uses the dynamic slot number assignment method
described on
page 6-23
