Effects of Adding a Provisioned Switch to a Stack
When you add a provisioned switch to the switch stack, the stack applies either the provisioned
configuration or the default configuration to it. Tabl e 5-1 lists the events that occur when the switch stack
compares the provisioned configuration with the provisioned switch.
Table5-1 Results of Comparing the Provisioned Configuration with the Provisioned Switch
Scenario Result
The stack member numbers and
the switch types match.
1. If the stack member number of the
provisioned switch matches the stack
member number in the provisioned
configuration on the stack, and
2. If the switch type of the provisioned switch
matches the switch type in the provisioned
configuration on the stack.
The switch stack applies the provisioned
configuration to the provisioned switch
and adds it to the stack.
The stack member numbers
match but the switch types do
not match.
1. If the stack member number of the
provisioned switch matches the stack
member number in the provisioned
configuration on the stack, but
2. The switch type of the provisioned switch
does not match the switch type in the
provisioned configuration on the stack.
The switch stack applies the default
configuration to the provisioned switch
and adds it to the stack.
The provisioned configuration is changed
to reflect the new information.
The stack member number is
not found in the provisioned
configuration.
The switch stack applies the default
configuration to the provisioned switch
and adds it to the stack.
The provisioned configuration is changed
to reflect the new information.
The stack member number of
the provisioned switch is in
conflict with an existing stack
member.
The stack master assigns a new stack member
number to the provisioned switch.
The stack member numbers and the switch types
match:
1. If the new stack member number of the
provisioned switch matches the stack
member number in the provisioned
configuration on the stack, and
2. If the switch type of the provisioned switch
matches the switch type in the provisioned
configuration on the stack.
The switch stack applies the provisioned
configuration to the provisioned switch
and adds it to the stack.
The provisioned configuration is changed
to reflect the new information.
The stack member numbers match, but the
switch types do not match:
1. If the stack member number of the
provisioned switch matches the stack
member number in the provisioned
configuration on the stack, but
2. The switch type of the provisioned switch
does not match the switch type in the
provisioned configuration on the stack.
The switch stack applies the default
configuration to the provisioned switch
and adds it to the stack.
The provisioned configuration is changed
to reflect the new information.
