Effects of Replacing a Preconfigured Switch in a Switch Stack

When a preconfigured switch in a switch stack fails, is removed from the stack, and is replaced with another switch, the stack applies either the preconfiguration or the default configuration to it. The events that occur when the switch stack compares the configuration with the preconfigured switch are the same as those described in “Effects of Adding a Preconfigured Switch to a Switched Stack”.

Effects of Removing a Preconfigured Switch from a Switch Stack

If you remove a preconfigured switch from the switch stack, the configuration associated with the removed stack member remains in the running configuration as configured information. To completely remove the configuration, use the no member unit_number (this is in the stacking configuration mode).
