Modifying an Existing Stack
Configuration
This section provides examples of how to modify an existing stack configuration. The examples assume the stack configuration is operational with connected stations. Always notify the attached stations that there may be a temporary disruption of the network services before you begin the modification.
To maintain the unit numbering within the stack, Bay Networks recommends that you renumber the entire stack after any modification involving configuration changes.
Note: Renumbering causes the entire stack to be reset with the current configuration settings. The Reset can take up to 30 seconds for completion. Notify the connected stations that there will be a short disruption of network services before renumbering the stack.
See the Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch guide for more information about renumbering.
This section includes the following topics:
•Assigning a new base unit to the stack
•Adding units to the stack
•Removing/replacing units from the stack
