Chapter 6 Managing Switch Stacks
Configuring the Switch Stack
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to provision a new member for a stack. This
procedure is optional.
To remove provisioned information and to avoid receiving an error message, remove the specified switch
from the stack before you use the
no
form of this command.
This example shows how to provision a switch with a stack member number of 2 for the stack. The
show
running-config
command output shows the interfaces associated with the provisioned switch:
Switch(config)#
switch 2 provision WS-C29751GS-48PS-L
Switch(config)#
end
Switch#
show running-config | include switch 2
!
interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1
!
interface GigabitEthernet2/0/2
!
interface GigabitEthernet2/0/3

Changing the Stack Membership
If you remove powered-on members but do not want to partition the stack:
Step 1
Power off the newly created stacks.
Step 2
Reconnect them to the original stack through their stack ports.
Step 3
Power on the switches.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
show switch
Display summary information about the stack.
Step 2
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 3
switch
stack-member-number
provision
type
Specify the member number for the provisioned switch. By default, no
switches are provisioned.
For
stack-member-number
, the range is 91 to 4. Enter a member number
that is not already used in the stack. See Step 1.
For
type
, enter the model number of the member.
Step 4
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config
Verify the correct numbering of interfaces in the configuration.
Step 6
show switch
stack-member-number
Verify the status of the provisioned switch. For
stack-member-number
,
enter the same number as in Step 2.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
