Remove Units or Front End Ports from a
Stack
To remove units or front end ports from a stack, use the following instructions.
• Removing a Unit from a Stack
• Removing Front End Port Stacking
Removing a Unit from a Stack
The running-configuration and startup-configuration are synchronized on all stack units. A stack member
that is disconnected from the stack maintains this configuration.
To remove a stack member from the stack, disconnect the stacking cables from the unit. You may do this at
any time, whether the unit is powered or unpowered, online or offline.
NOTE
: If you remove a unit in the middle of the daisy chain stack, the stack is split into multiple parts and
each forms a new stack according to the stacking algorithm described throughout this chapter.
Examples of Removing a Stack Member (Before and After)
The following example shows removing a stack member (before).
