Removing Units from an Existing Stack
2-6 Configuring Switches in a Stack
•Use clear ip address to remove the IP address of the stack.
•Use clear license to remove an applied license from a switch.
Configuration parameters and stacking information can also be cleared on the master unit only
by selecting the “restore configuration to factory defaults” option from the boot menu on switch
startup. This selection will leave stacking priorities on all other units.
Configuring Standalone A4 Stack Ports
It is possible on a standalone A4 switch to configure the two stack ports as standard gigabit
Ethernet ports with the set switch stack-port command. By default, the two front panel uplink
ports are in stack mode. Changing the mode causes the switch to reset.
This command should be used only on standalone (non-stacked) A4 switches. Do not stack A4
switches with uplink ports that are in Ethernet mode.
To change front panel uplink ports to Ethernet mode:
A4(su)->set switch stack-port ethernet
This command will reset the entire system.

When Uplink Ports are Configured as Ethernet Ports
When using the clear config command to clear configuration parameters on a standalone A4
switch with the uplink ports configured as standard Ethernet ports, it is important to remember
the following:
•The clear config command WILL NOT set the front panel uplink ports back to stack ports.
•The clear config all command WILL set the front panel uplink ports back to stack ports.
