Stacking Dell PowerConnect Switches: 8132, 8132F, 8164, 8164F

Caution: Renumbering stack units may hinder management scripts and monitoring software 
that collect data based on particular port traffic.  Use renumbering with caution when 
monitoring ports and be aware that scripts and monitoring parameters may need to be 
modified. 
In this example there are three stack members numbered 1, 3, and 4.  It may be desired to move 3 to 
2, and then 4 to 3.  This can be by renumbering 3 to 2 first, then renumbering 4 to 3.  It is also possible 
to simply move 4 to 2, which is shown in the example below.   
Go to System > Stack Management > Unit Configuration and select the Switch ID to change. Enter the 
new Switch ID into the Change Switch ID to field and click Apply.
