come on-line. When setting up a new set of switches in a stack, you can easily force the identification
of the management unit and unit IDs by methodically supplying power to the units in your preferred
sequence.
• When you add a new unit to a stack, the unit is gracefully added as Unit last (the lowest unused
number) with the current configuration. Attaching a new unit may cause each unit in the stack to
reload. The resulting configuration file in each unit includes the awareness of the new unit.
• If you have a pre-configured unit that you want to add to the stack but you want to ensure that the
unit’s configuration does not override the stack configuration, add the unit while it is powered down
to avoid stack management conflicts.
For more information about removing a unit from a stack and other stacking commands, refer to the
Stacking chapter in the FTOS Configuration Guide for the S4820T System and the Stacking Commands
chapter in the FTOS Command Line Reference Guide for the S4820T System .
