stack renumber
Changes the ID of a specific stack member.
Syntax
For SwitchBlade
®
x908
stack <1-4> renumber <1-4> [immediate]
For x900 Series switches
stack <1-8> renumber <1-8> [immediate]
Default
Every stack unit will initially try to use stack member ID of 1.
Mode
Privileged Exec mode
Usage
This command is used to change the ID of a specific stack member - primarily when exchanging
stack members. The changes made by this command will not take effect until the switch is
rebooted.
Note:
This command does not alter any of the stacks's existing configuration, apart from
the member-ID specified. For example, if stack member 2 were removed from the
stack and a new stack unit is assigned the member 2 stack ID then the interface
configuration that existed for the removed stack member 2 will be applied to the new
stack member 2.
The
current
m
e
m
ber ID
must already be assigned to an existing stack member.To avoid
duplicating IDs, a warning message will appear if you assign a
new
m
e
m
ber ID
that is currently
assigned to another stack member. However, you can continue to rename the stack member
IDs and remove ID duplications. If you do not remove the duplications, then the device with
the highest root priority will be allocated this ID. Once you have removed any duplicate IDs,
you can reboot the switch to implement your changes.
To avoid confusion when configuring the stack, we recommend using the
immediate
parameter. This will force a switch reboot enabling the ID changes to take immediate effect.
The exception to this recommendation applies where you are making multiple ID changes.
