Replacing a Failed Stack Member
Replacing a Failed Stack Member
1. Get a replacement switch that has the same model number as the failed switch.
2. Power down the failed switch.
3. Make sure that the replacement switch is off and that the FlexStack module is installed.
4. Connect the switch to the stack.
5. Make the same connections on the replacement switch that were on the failed switch.
6. Reinstall any modules, and make cable connections.
7. Power on the replacement switch.
The replacement switch has the same configuration for all the interfaces as the failed switch and
functions the same as the failed switch.
If you had manually set the member numbers for any stack members, you need to manually assign the
replacement switch with the same member number as the failed switch. See the switch software
configuration guide on Cisco.com.
