Considerations About Using Clear Config in a Stack
Whenusingtheclearconfigcommand(page3 ‐49)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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.
Issues Related to Mixed Type Stacks
Feature Support
BecausetheSecureStackC2andC3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.
