switch provision (stack)
This command enables you to provide the configuration for a new stack member switch
prior to physically connecting it to the stack. To run this command, the stack position must
be vacant. The selected hardware type must be compatible existing stack hardware.
Use the no variant of this command to remove an existing switch provision.
Syntax switch <stack-ID> {provision|reprovision}{x310-26|x310-50}
no switch <stack-ID> provision
Mode Global Configuration
Usage Note that although the syntax appears to allow provisioning on up to 8 stackable
switches, in practice a maximum of 4 are configurable. Normally the stack members would
be numbered 1 to 4, and so the command could be run to provision any stack member
within this range; and we advise this procedure. In effect, the syntax then becomes:
switch <1-4> {provision|reprovision} {x310-26|x310-50}
However, you could - if you wished - number the stack units with any numbers between 1-
8. For example you could number your four stack members 1, 2, 7 and 8. In this case you
could provision any of the stack members within this range. We advise against numbering
your stacks in this way.
Examples To provision an x310-26 switch as stack member 3, use the following commands:
