To resolve this pass-through condition, simply assign slot 1001 a new saved slot value and reboot the
module. This can be done in either of two ways:
•
Use the
stack set slot
command to assign the new value, then use the
reload pass-through
command
to reboot the module:
-> stack set slot 1001 saved-slot 3
-> reload pass-through 1001
•
Use the
stack set slot
command to assign the new slot value and, using the optional
reload
syntax in
the command line, reboot the module:
-> stack set slot 1001 saved-slot 3 reload
When the module comes up, it assumes the new, unique slot position—in this case, slot 3—and, because it
now has the highest slot number in the stack, it assumes an idle role (leaving the primary and secondary
roles to slots 1 and 2, respectively). There are now no duplicate numbers in the stack and all elements are
operating normally:
