Modifying an Existing Stack
Configuration
This section provides examples of how to modify an
existing stack configuration. The examples assume the
stack configuration is operational with connected stations.
Always notify the attached stations that there may be a
temporary disruption of the network services before you
begin the modification.
To maintain the unit numbering within the stack, Nortel
Networks recommends that you renumber the entire stack
after any modification involving configuration changes.
See your switch’s User Guide for more information about
renumbering.
This section includes the following topics:
• Assigning a new base unit to the stack
• Adding units to the stack
• Removing/replacing units from the stack
Note:
Renumbering causes the entire stack to be reset
with the current configuration settings. The Reset can
take up to 30 seconds for completion. Notify the
connected stations that there will be a short disruption
of network services before renumbering the stack.
