Field Description
T0 Identifies Trunk 0
T1 Identifies Trunk 1
Syntax: show stack connection
Adding, removing, or replacing units in a traditional stack
The following sections describe how to add, remove, or replace units in a traditional stack. The
recommended method is to connect units to the stack before you supply power to the units; however,
you can also connect powered units.
Installing a new unit in a traditional stack using secure-setup
This method can be applied to clean units, or units that have existing configurations.
1. Connect the new unit to the stack by connecting the 10 Gbps stacking ports.
2. Run secure-setup on the active controller and assign an ID to the new unit. The active controller
will reset the new unit.
3. Once the new unit boots and joins the stack, do a write memory on the active controller.
Installing a new unit using static configuration
If the new unit is a clean unit and the connection is sequential, you can add it using the static setup
process.
1. Enter the module configuration of the new unit into the active controller configuration.
2. Connect the new unit to the stack using the 10 Gbps stacking ports. The sequence in which you
connect the unit must match that of the active controller configuration. The active controller
automatically resets the unit.
3. Once the new unit boots and joins the stack, do a write memory on the active controller. You
should see the following message.
Done hot swap: Set stack unit 3 to Fully-Operational:16
Configuration notes
Configuration on a new unit can be accomplished in three ways:
• If the active controller has no configuration information for the new unit, it learns the new unit's
configuration. This is a dynamic configuration and will disappear if the new unit leaves the stack. In
