Replacing a Node with a Different Switch Type
When you replace a node with the different switch
type, you cannot continue to use the same stack configuration. The slot configuration for the
replaced node must change to reflect the new switch type.
To replace a node with a different switch type:
-
Use the show switch, show licenses, and show
stacking configuration commands to display configuration information for the
node to be replaced.
Note the following about the switch you are replacing:
- ExtremeXOS software version
- Partition on which the switch is booted
- Effective license level for the stack
- Slot number
- Stacking protocol; standard or enhanced?
- Master-capable feature configuration
- Node priority
- Alternate gateway IP address
-
Enter the unconfigure slot slot
command to remove the configuration for the node to be replaced.
All configuration parameters (except for the
related node's NVRAM-based configurations such as stacking parameters, image to be used,
and failsafe account) for the slot are erased.
-
Follow the procedure outlined in Replacing a Node with the Same Switch Type.
