Hello,
I'm about to reduce a stack of 5 switches to 2 switches this weekend and just want to make sure I have my bases covered. Currently the 2 swithces that will remain have roles of Master* and Backup. Those two switches are connected directly via a stacking cable.
Can anyone review this procedure and let me know if there's anything wrong?
- Power off switch to be removed: request system halt
- Remove stack cables from switch
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for remaining two switches
- Re-connect a new stacking cable between remaining switches to complete the stack loop
- Submit recycle command for missing three switches: request virtual-chassis recycle member-id <switch-ID>
Last question - right now the master and backup switches that will remain are numbered 0 and 4. Will switch number 4 become switch number 1, and will I have to reconfigure config appropriately or will that be updated accordingly? It does not matter if that switch remains "4", it doesn't need to be "1".
Thanks!
