However, secure-setup renumbering never changes the interface configuration. For example, if you switch the IDs of identical units 2 and 3, the Active Controller does not change 2/1/5 to 3/1/5 and vice versa. • If the configuration for the ID you select for a specific unit does not match the configuration on that unit, secure-setup will change the static configuration into a dynamic configuration so it can be overwritten by the learned configuration. • When swapping IDs for two or more identical units - for example, if units 2, 3, and 4 are identical, changing 2 to 3, 3 to 4, and 4 to 2 will not affect the configurations of the units except that the units will reset and assume the new IDs. • If you swap IDs for two units that are not identical -The Active Controller removes the configurations and resets both units. When both units boot with new IDs, the Active Controller learns their module types and creates new unit configurations for both. However, all interface configuration information related to units 2 and 3 is gone. • When you renumber identical units using secure-setup, the configurations are not mapped to the new units (since the configurations match exactly). However, if you switch the IDs of units that are not identical, a configuration mismatch occurs. Refer to "Recovering from a mismatch" on page 156 • When you assign an unused ID to a stack unit, the unit is reset with the new ID. All unit and interface configuration information related to the old stack ID is deleted. The Active Controller learns the configuration for the new unit (instead of creating interface configuration for the new unit. • Release 5.0 does not support user changes to the Active Controller ID. • Secure-setup does not swap configuration information for units that have had their IDs changed. For example, it does not change the 2/1/3 interface configuration or VLAN membership information into 3/1/3 information if the unit ID changes from 2 to 3. • If the configuration for a unit being replaced does not match the new unit type, the Active Controller removes the unit configuration and associated interface configuration. • All learned configurations due to mismatches or the addition of new units are dynamic configurations. To convert them into static configurations, do a write memory to preserve the configurations if a unit is removed from the stack. 150 PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 53-1002266-01
