ProSafe Managed Switch 6. Connect this cable to the new switch, following the established order of stack-up to stack-down connections. 7. Power up the new switches one by one. Verify, by monitoring the master switch console port, that the new switch joins the stack by issuing the show switch command. The new switch should join as a member (never as master; the existing master of the stack should not change). 8. If the firmware version of the newly added member is not the same as the existing stack, update the firmware as described in Upgrade the Firmware on page 323. Remove a Switch from the Stack 1. Make sure the redundant stack connection is in place and functional. All stack members should be connected in a logical ring. 2. Power down the switch to be removed. Note: Removing powered-on stack members can cause the switch stack to divide (partition) into two or more switch stacks, each with the same configuration. However, if cabled correctly, the switch stack should not divide. 3. Disconnect the stack cables. 4. If the switch is not to be replaced, reconnect the stack cable from the stack member above to the stack member below the switch being removed. 5. Remove the switch from the rack. 6. If you want to remove the switch from the stack configuration, issue the command: no member . If the switch stack divides, and you want the switch stacks to remain separate, change the IP address or addresses of the newly created switch stacks. If you did not intend to partition the switch stack: 1. Power off the newly created switch stacks. 2. Reconnect them to the original switch stack through their stacking ports. 3. Power on the switches. Replace a Stack Member 1. Make sure the redundant stack connection is in place and functional. All stack members should be connected in a logical ring. 2. Power down the switch to be removed and disconnect its stack cables. 3. Remove the switch from the rack. 4. If you will be installing a different model switch, remove the unit from the configuration by issuing the command no member . Chapter 19. Switch Stacks | 331
