Confirming traditional stack software versions
All units in a traditional stack must be running the same software image. To confirm this, check the
software version on all devices that you want to add to your traditional stack. Upgrade any units that are
running older versions of the software before you build your stack.
1. Telnet, SSH, or connect to any of the console ports in the stack.
2. Enter the show version command. Output similar to the following is displayed.
device# show version

NOTE
If any unit in the traditional stack is running an incorrect version of the software, it will appear as
non-operational. You must install the correct software version on that unit for it to operate properly
in the stack.
Copying the flash image to a stack unit from the active controller
To copy the flash image to a stack unit from the active controller primary or secondary flash, enter the
following command.
device# copy flash flash unit-id-pri 2
Syntax: copy flash flash [ primary | secondary | unit-id-pri unit-num |unit-id-sec unit-num ]
• primary - Copy secondary to primary
• secondary - Copy primary to secondary
• unit-id-pri - Copy active primary image to unit ID
• unit-id-sec - Copy active secondary image to unit ID
The unit-id-pri and unit-id-sec keywords are used to copy images to a stack member from the active
controller primary and secondary flash, respectively. For unit-num, enter a value from 1 through 8.
NOTE
You do not have to manually copy the flash image to a mismatched stack unit. For more information,
refer to “Auto Image Copy for stack units.”
Reloading a stack unit
To reload a stack unit, enter the following command.
device# reload
Syntax: reload [ after | at | cancel | unit-id unit-list ]
