Using SFTOS Stacking Commands
If the switch is running SFTOS, the commands available to manage stacking are described in the
Stacking chapters of the
SFTOS Command Reference and the SFTOS Configuration Guide .
You can execute
clear config
on the switch to start a clean configuration. Then pre-configure it, as
recommended in Best Practices in the Stacking chapter of the SFTOS Configuration Guide.
You can use the SFTOS CLI to make stack identification changes on the fly:
• Renumber units:
switch renumber
• Assign a new management unit:
movemanagement
• Remove a unit from stack membership:
no member
You can also use commands such as
switch priority
and
member
that override the default unit
identification algorithms.
Use the
show switch
command to see the current assignment of the management unit.
Use the
show switch
unit
command to see the serial number of the designated unit.
For details on and other stacking commands, see the Stacking chapter in the SFTOS Configuration Guide
and the Stacking Commands chapter in the SFTOS Command Reference.
