Chapter 19. Switch Stacks | 365
ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches
1. Issue the member <unit-id> <switchindex> command. To view the supported unit
types, use the show supported switchtype command.
2. Next, configure the unit you just defined with configuration commands, just as if the unit
were physically present.
Ports for the preconfigured unit come up in a detached state.
3. T
o see the ports, use the show port all command. Now you can configure the detached
ports for VLAN membership and any other port-specific configuration.
After you preconfigure a unit type for a specific unit number, attaching a unit with different unit
type for this unit number causes the switch to report an error
. The show switch command
indicates config mismatch for the new unit and the ports on that unit don’t come up. To
resolve this situation, you can change the unit number of the mismatched unit or delete the
preconfigured unit type using the no member <unit-id> command.
When you add a preconfigured switch to the switch stack, the stack applies either the
preconfigured configuration or the default configuration.
The following table lists the events
that occur when the switch stack compares the preconfigured configuration with the new
switch.
Table 2. Preconfigured Switches Compared to Stack Configuration
Switch Type Is the
Same
Stack Member Number Result
Yes Is the same. The switch stack applies configuration to the
preconfigured new switch and adds it to the stack.
Yes Does not match. • The switch stack applies its default stack member
number to the preconfigured switch and adds it to
the stack.
• The stack member number configuration in the
preconfigured switch changes to reflect the new
information.
Is not found in the stack
configuration.
• The switch stack applies the default configuration
to the new switch and adds it to the stack.
• The preconfigured information is changed to reflect
the new information.
Is not found in the
preconfigured switch.
The switch stack applies the default configuration to
the preconfigured switch and adds it to the stack.
