Switch Feature Overview 65
To upgrade an AdvLite mixed stack to Adv mono-culture stack using the .stk
firmware, power off the stack, re-cable the stack with the legacy N3000
switches removed from the stack (N3000EP-ON and N3132PX-ON switches
can operate with the Adv firmware) and power on the stack starting with the
desired stack master unit. Once the stack is fully powered, use the clear
config command to remove the configuration of the units that are no longer
participating in the stack. The no member/no slot commands in stack
configuration mode also clear the stack member configuration, however,
other configuration that references those members is not cleared and may
cause issues on a reboot of the stack.
After the member configuration has been removed for all legacy N3000
switches and the configuration has been saved, it is possible to download
N3000Advv6.5.1.X.stk firmware to the stack master. Once downloaded, the
master unit will distribute the images to other members of the stack. Use the
show bootvar [unit] command to display the stack unit firmware. After code
distribution is complete, reboot the stack.
This same technique may be used on the legacy N3000 switches that were
configured in an AdvLite stack to allow them to download monoculture
N3000 (stk) firmware.
