Considerations About Using Clear Config in a Stack
Whenusingtheclearconfigcommand (page3‐51)toclearconfigurationparametersinastack,it
isimportanttorememberthefollowing:
•UseclearconfigtoclearconfigparameterswithoutclearingstackunitIDs.Thiscommand
WILLNOTclearstackparametersortheIPaddressandavoidstheprocessof
renumbering
thestack.
•Useclearconfigallwhenitisnecessarytoclearallconfigparameters,includingstackunit
IDsandswitchpriorityvalues.ThiscommandwillnotcleartheIPaddressnorwillitremove
anappliedadvancedfeaturelicense.
•UseclearipaddresstoremovetheIPaddressofthe
stack.
•Useclearlicen se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

Issues Related to Mixed Type Stacks
Feature Support
BecausetheSecureStackB2andB3switcheshavedifferenthardwarearchitectures,the
functionalitysupportedbythetwoswitchtypesisdifferent.Whenthetwotypesofswitchesare
mixedinastack,thefunctionalitysupportedwillbethelowestcommondenominatoroffeatures
supportedonallplatforms.Refertothefirmware
ReleaseNotesforinformationaboutsupported
features.

Common Firmware Version
MixedstackingisonlysupportedbySecureStackB2firmwareversion4.00.xxandhigher.Inorder
tomixSecureStackB3switcheswithB2switches,youmustinstalltheB2firmware(version
4.00.xxorhigher)ontheB3switch.YoucaninstalltheB2firmwarefirst,withtheB3switchin
