44 Stacking Dell Networking Switches: N4032, N4032F, N4064, N4064F
The plugged-in model will always be the actual model that is inserted as the stack unit. The preconfigured
model must be changed to show the same. To sync the two, the Unit must be temporarily removed from
the stack then added back. For this example, use the following steps to sync Unit 3.
Note: This example is for a Ring topology only and will not work on a Daisy Chain topology.
1. Save the configuration of the stack by using the “write” command.
2. Leaving all data cables plugged in, unplug the mismatched stack member’s power cord.
3. From the command line type the following:
console#show switch
