Using SFTOS Stacking Commands
If the switch is running SFTOS, the commands available to manage stacking are described in the
Stacking chapters of the SFTOS Command Reference and the SFTOS Configuration Guide.
You can execute clear config on the switch to start a clean configuration. Then pre-configure it, as
recommended in Best Practices in the Stacking chapter of the SFTOS Configuration Guide.
You can use the SFTOS CLI to make stack identification changes on the fly:
• Renumber units:
switch renumber
• Assign a new management unit:
movemanagement
• Remove a unit from stack membership:
no member
You can also use commands such as switch priority and member that override the default unit
identification algorithms.
Use the show switch command to see the current assignment of the management unit.
Use the
show switch unit command to see the serial number of the designated unit.
For details on and other stacking commands, see the Stacking chapter in the SFTOS Configuration Guide
and the Stacking Commands chapter in the SFTOS Command Reference.
Using FTOS Stacking Commands
If the switch is running FTOS, the following commands are available to manage stacking:
• Use the
stack-unit
unit
priority
1-14
command to configure the ability of an S-Series switch to become
the management unit of a stack.
• Use the
stack-unit
unit
provision
{
S25N
|
S25P
|
S25V
|
S50N
|
S50V
} command to pre-configure a
stacking ID of a switch that will join the stack. This is an optional command that is executed on the
management unit.
• Use the
stack-unit
unit
renumber
unit
command to renumber a standalone S-Series or any stack
member except the management unit.
• Use the
show system brief
command to see the current assignment of the management unit.
• Use the
show system stack-unit unit
command to see the serial number of the designated unit and
other system details.
• Use the
show system stack-ports
command to see the stacking topology and status.
For details on using FTOS to remove a unit from a stack or use other stacking commands, see the
Stacking Commands chapter in the FTOS Command Reference and the S-Series Stacking chapter in the
FTOS Configuration Guide.
