While changing the mode of an IOA that has a static IP, from stacking to standalone, ensure that the network for the IOA is changed to
DHCP. Else, the static IP is duplicated on all the IOAs.
When the IOMs are in stacking mode, the stack ID is the same as the master IOM burned in the MAC during the initial power-on. The stack
ID does not change when the IOM modes change. For example, during initial power-on, if switch-1 is the master, the mac address of the
stack is identical to that of the switch-1 burned in the MAC address. Later, when switch-3 is the master, the switch-1 MAC address is
retained as the stack ID.
The racadm command, getmacaddress, displays I/F MAC, which is burned in MAC address + 2.
