Configuring a removed unit to be stand-alone
After removing a unit from a stack, the unit converts back to its original configuration that it had prior to
adding it to the stack, retaining the IP address, VLAN, LAG, and other settings. This allows immediate
access to the stand-alone through the out-of-band port if previously configured.
Note:
A duplicate address could occur on the network if another device was assigned the IP address of
the device while it was a stack member. If this occurs simply detach the device from the network and
change the IP address through the console port.
Meta-data will remains on the switch until cleared or changes are made to the
stack
settings, but will not
affect functions of the switch. For example, a stand-alone switch is assigned to be unit #1. Upon joining
the stack it was assigned to be unit #3. When it is removed from the stack it will retain the assignment of
unit #3 until changed by the administrator. For instructions on how to make this change, see

Web interface method
Since any interface on the N4000 series switches can be used for stacking, make sure to verify exactly
which ports are being used for stacking so they are un-cabled and re-routed last, after the normal traffic-
passing cables have been re-routed. This information is found at System > Stack Management > Stack
Port Summary.
