For /destination-systemdestination-stack-member-number,

 

 

specify the number of the stack member (the destination) to

specify this stack member number, the default is to copy the

reload after the software image downloads.

 

 

For source-stack-member-number, specify the number of the

 

 

stack member (the source) from which to copy the running

 

 

image file. The stack member number range is 1 to 9.
