NETGEAR M4100 Renumber Stack Members, Preconfigured Switches Compared to Stack Configuration

ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches

1.Issue the member <unit-id> <switchindex> command. To view the supported unit types, use the show supported switchtype command.

2.Next, configure the unit you just defined with configuration commands, just as if the unit were physically present.

Ports for the preconfigured unit come up in a detached state.

3.To see the ports, use the show port all command. Now you can configure the detached ports for VLAN membership and any other port-specific configuration.

After you preconfigure a unit type for a specific unit number, attaching a unit with different unit type for this unit number causes the switch to report an error. The show switch command indicates config mismatch for the new unit and the ports on that unit don’t come up. To resolve this situation, you can change the unit number of the mismatched unit or delete the preconfigured unit type using the no member <unit-id>command.

When you add a preconfigured switch to the switch stack, the stack applies either the preconfigured configuration or the default configuration. The following table lists the events that occur when the switch stack compares the preconfigured configuration with the new switch.
