SWITCH REMOVED
FROM STACK
Removal of a stack unit Figure 16
Removal of a stack unit results in one or more freed cables. In this example, a single cable (red) that was
used to link Unit 2 to Unit 3 has been freed up. The other cable that was going from Unit 1 to Unit 2, is
now used to connect Unit 1 to Unit 3, using the same stack ports that were used initially to once again
complete the ring topology. Move this cable to complete the stack unit removal process.
2.5.2.2 Validation
To validate the stack unit was removed and that the remaining stack members are still intact, go to System
> Stack Management > Stack Summary.
2.5.2.3 Removing units from the stack configuration
Once a unit has been physically removed, it may be desired to remove it from the configuration as well, if
there are no plans on restoring it later. For the above example Unit 2 was removed; however, the Stack
Summary screen continues to show the removed switch in the configuration.
