Managing a Switch Stack

• If the switch you add does not have an assigned unit number, then the

switch sets its configured unit number to the lowest unassigned unit

number.

• If the unit number is configured and there are no other devices using the

unit number, then the switch starts using the configured unit number.

• If the switch detects that the maximum number of units already exist in

the stack making it unable to assign a unit number, then the switch sets its

unit number to

unassigned

and does not participate in the stack.

Adding a Switch to the Stack

When adding a new member to a stack, make sure that only the stack cables,

and no network cables, are connected before powering up the new unit. Stack

port configuration is stored on the member units. If stacking over Ethernet

ports (N4000 only), configure the ports on the unit to be added to the stack as

stacking ports and power the unit off prior to connecting the stacking cables.

Make sure the links are not already connected to any ports of that unit. This is

important because if STP is enabled and any links are UP, the STP

reconvergence will take place as soon as the link is detected.
After the stack cables on the new member are connected to the stack, you can

power up the new units, beginning with the unit directly attached to the

currently powered-up unit. Always power up new stack units closest to an

existing powered unit first. Do not connect a new member to the stack after it

is powered up. Also, do not connect two functional, powered-up stacks

together. Hot insertion of units into a stack is not supported.
If a new switch is added to a stack of switches that are powered and running

and already have an elected stack master, the newly added switch becomes a

stack member rather than the stack master. Use the

boot auto-copy-sw

command on the stack master to enable automatic firmware upgrade of newly

added switches. If a firmware mismatch is detected, the newly added switch

does not fully join the stack and holds until it is upgraded to the same

firmware version as the master switch. After firmware synchronization

finishes, the running configuration of the newly added unit is overwritten

with the stack master configuration. Stack port configuration is always stored

on the local unit and may be updated with preconfiguration information from

the stack master when the unit joins the stack.
