Effects of Adding a Provisioned Switch to a Switch Stack
When you add a provisioned Switch to the switch stack, the stack applies either the provisioned configuration
or the default configuration. This table lists the events that occur when the switch stack compares the provisioned
configuration with the provisioned switch.
Table 81: Results of Comparing the Provisioned Configuration with the Provisioned Switch
Result Scenario
The switch stack applies the
provisioned configuration to the
provisioned switch and adds it to
the stack.
1 If the stack member number of
the provisioned switch matches
the stack member number in the
provisioned configuration on
the stack, and
2 If the Switch type of the
provisioned switch matches the
Switch type in the provisioned
configuration on the stack.
The stack member numbers and the
Switch types match.
The switch stack applies the default
configuration to the provisioned
switch and adds it to the stack.
The provisioned configuration is
changed to reflect the new
information.
1 If the stack member number of
the provisioned switch matches
the stack member number in the
provisioned configuration on
the stack, but
2 The Switch type of the
provisioned switch does not
match the Switch type in the
provisioned configuration on
the stack.
The stack member numbers match
but the Switch types do not match.
The switch stack applies the default
configuration to the provisioned
switch and adds it to the stack.
The provisioned configuration is
changed to reflect the new
information.
The stack member number is not
found in the provisioned
configuration.
The switch stack applies the default
