S4048-ON Adding New Unit to Existing Stack
Hi there,
I hope you're well.
One of our S4048-ON switch has failed, we have a replacement and I need to get this added to the stack. Could anyone please advise whether or not the unit being added to the stack must have the same OS version to the master unit or whether that device is capable of downloading and installing from the master unit?
Can you please advise also whether the below steps are correct? If I manually assign the stack ID, power off the switch and connect the stack cables to the master unit will it boot and join the stack without rebooting the stack? All advise would be greatly appreciated.
Manually Assigning a New Unit to an Existing Stack:
To manually assign a new unit a position in an existing stack, use the following steps.
1. On the stack, determine the next available stack-unit number, and the management priority of the management unit.
EXEC Privilege mode
show system brief or show system stack-unit
2. On the new unit, number it the next available stack-unit number.
EXEC Privilege mode
stack-unit stack-unit-number renumber stack-unit-new-number
3. (OPTIONAL) On the new unit, assign a management priority based on whether you want the new unit to be the stack manager.
CONFIGURATION mode
stack-unit stack-unit-number priority priority-number
4. Assign a stack group to each unit.
CONFIGURATION mode
stack-unitstack-unit-number stack-group stack-group-number
5.Connect the new unit to the stack using stacking cables.
