 Note:
Remove the IP address configured for the existing Layer 3 interface first if you want to
cancel the stack-related configuration, otherwise, IP address conflicts may occur.
As for the stack-related configurations performed on a main switch, note that:
z After a stack is created, the main switch automatically adds the switches
connected to its stack ports to the stack.
z If a stack port connection is disconnected, the corresponding slave switch quits
the stack automatically.
z The IP address pool of an existing stack cannot be modified.
z To add a switch to a stack successfully, make sure the IP address pool contains at
least one unoccupied IP address.
