Replacing Faulty Switch on Stack
Hi Friends,
i would like to provide you simple and easy method to replace the faulty switch on Stack without restarting all the switch.
Step 1: logging to stack switch ( Only Master switch accessible), and issue the command show switch
Switch#show switch
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 0000.0001.0001
H/W Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
----------------------------------------------------------
*1 Master 0000.0001.0001 15 0 Ready
2 Member 0000.0001.0002 10 0 Ready
3 Member 0000.0001.0003 5 0 Ready
4 Member 0000.0001.0004 4 0 Ready
Please ensure priority must be high for Master switch. By default, all the switch will have priority 1.
Step 2 : Identity the switch to be replaced
Step 3 : unpack the new Switch , identify model and IOS version must be same replaced switch on that slot.
Step 4 : Note the stack port cable ( backside of the switch) must be connected to same port was connected.
Step 5: power off faulty switch . this example assume Switch 4 is faulty. login to master switch , Type same command # show switch
Switch#show switch
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 0000.0001.0001
H/W Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
----------------------------------------------------------
*1 Master 0000.0001.0001 15 0 Ready
2 Member 0000.0001.0002 10 0 Ready
3 Member 0000.0001.0003 5 0 Ready
4 Member 0000.0001.0004 4 0 removed
Step 6 : replace the faulty switch with new.
Step 7 : login to master switch , issue same command show switch
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
----------------------------------------------------------
*1 Master 0000.0001.0001 15 0 Ready
2 Member 0000.0001.0002 10 0 Ready
3 Member 0000.0001.0003 5 0 Ready
4 Member 0000.0001.0005 1 0 Ready
Switch priority will be shown as 1, it is best practice to change the priority to other value.
Switch#conf t
switch(conf)#switch 4 priority 4
switch has been successfully replaced
