Changing the Stack Unit Mode

Change the stack unit mode of a device to remove it from a stack (by changing its

stack unit mode to Standalone), or when configuring it to become part of a stack

(by changing its stack unit mode to Native Stacking, Basic Hybrid Stacking or

Advanced Hybrid Stacking).

The following sections describe the system mode and configuration of the

devices after reboot when the stack unit mode is changed.

System Mode (500 Devices) After Reboot

When the stack mode of a device is changed, the system mode of the device may

be changed after reboot:

•Sx500 devices—The system mode (Layer 2 or Layer 3) of the backup and

slave Sx500 units is taken from the master-enabled unit. If the system mode

is not specifically set before reboot, it is Layer 2 after reboot (this is the

default). If you want the device to be in Layer 3 mode after reboot, this must

be specifically set before reboot.

•SG500X/ESW2-550X devices—When the device is in Standalone or

Native Stacking mode, its system mode is always Layer 2 and 3. When the

device is in Basic or Advanced Hybrid mode, it behaves as described

above for Sx500 devices. When the device is in Advanced Hybrid XG mode,

its system mode is always Layer 2 and 3.

•SG500XG devices—Always Layer 2 and Layer 3.

Configuration After Reboot

When you change the stack mode of a device and reboot the device, the Startup

Configuration file is usually removed because it may contain configuration

information that is not applicable to the new mode.

It is retained after bootup in the following cases:

•SG500X/ESW2-550X devices:

-Standalone to Native Stacking—Retained only when the unit is forced

to become the master with unit ID = 1

-Basic Hybrid to Advanced Hybrid—Retained only when the unit is

forced to become the master with unit ID = 1

-Basic Hybrid to Advanced Hybrid XG—Retained only when the unit is

forced to become the master with unit ID = 1
