Chapter 5 Managing Switch Stacks
Configuring the Switch Stack
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to provision a new member for a switch stack.
This procedure is optional.
To remove provisioned information and to avoid receiving an error message, remove the specified switch
from the stack before you use the no form of this command.
For example, if you are removing a provisioned switch in a stack with this configuration:
The stack has four members
Stack member 1 is the master
Stack member 3 is a provisioned switch
and want to remove the provisioned information and to avoid receiving an error message, you can remove
power from stack member 3, disconnect the StackWise Plus cables between the stack member 3 and
switches to which it is connected, reconnect the cables between the remaining stack members, and enter
the no switch stack-member-number provision global configuration command.
This example shows how to provision a switch with a stack member number of 2 for the switch stack.
The show running-config command output shows the interfaces associated with the provisioned switch:
Switch(config)# switch 2 provision switch_PID
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show running-config | include switch 2
!
interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1
!
interface GigabitEthernet2/0/2
!
interface GigabitEthernet2/0/3

Command Purpose
Step 1 show switch Display summary information about the switch stack.
Step 2 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 3 switch stack-member-number provision
type Specify the stack member number for the preconfigured switch. By
default, no switches are provisioned.
For stack-member-number, the range is 1 to 9. Specify a stack member
number that is not already used in the switch stack. See Step 1.
For type, enter the model number of a supported switch that is listed in
the command-line help strings.
Step 4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 show running-config Verify the correct numbering of interfaces in the running configuration
file.
Step 6 show switch stack-member-number Verify the status of the provisioned switch. For stack-member-number,
enter the same number as in Step 1.
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
