Stacking Commands Overview
Management Unit Selection Algorithm
• If a stack has an active management unit, and a switch being introduced to the stack is also configured
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
copy {image1 | image2}
unit://unit/{image1 | image2}
Privileged Exec Starting with SFTOS 2.5.1, this command copies a selected
software image from the management switch to a designated
switch.
Note: Before SFTOS 2.5.1, the archive copy-sw
command copied the system image from the
management unit to the other stack members.
copy tftp://
tftp_server_ip_address/path/
filename {
image1 | image2}
Privileged Exec Starting with SFTOS 2.5.1, this command copies a selected
software image from a TFTP server to the management switch.
For supporting commands, see Downloading a Software Image
on page 45 in the Getting Started chapter.
Note: Previous to SFTOS 2.5.1, the archive
download-sw command was available, in Stacking Config
mode, to download the system image to the switch.

is the new switch ID (1 to 8). For the switchindex (SID), see

Use the no member unit command to logically remove a
switch from the stack before disconnecting its stacking cables.
