Stacking Dell PowerConnect Switches: 8132, 8132F, 8164, 8164F
48
Caution:
Renumbering stack units may hinder management scripts and monitoring software
that collect data based on particular port traffic. Use renumbering with caution when
monitoring ports and be aware that scripts and monitoring parameters may need to be
modified.
In this example there are three stack members numbered 1, 3, and 4. It may be desired to move 3 to
2, and then 4 to 3. This can be by renumbering 3 to 2 first, then renumbering 4 to 3. It is also possible
to simply move 4 to 2, which is shown in the example below.
Go to System > Stack Management > Unit Configuration and select the Switch ID to change. Enter the
new Switch ID into the
Change Switch ID to
field and click Apply.
