Master Switch Recovers from Failure
• Problem: The master switch recovers from a failure after a reboot and rejoins the stack as the standby
unit or member unit. Protocol and control plane recovery requires time before the switch is fully
online.
• Resolution: When the entire stack is reloaded, the recovered master switch becomes the master unit
of the stack.
Stack Unit in Card-Problem State Due to Incorrect Dell Networking OS Version
• Problem: A stack unit enters a Card-Problem state because the switch has a different Dell Networking
OS version than the master unit. The switch does not come online as a stack unit.
• Resolution: To restore a stack unit with an incorrect Dell Networking OS version as a member unit,
disconnect the stacking cables on the switch and install the correct Dell Networking OS version. Then
add the switch to the stack as described in Adding a Stack Unit. To verify that the problem has been
resolved and the stacked switch is back online, use the show system brief command.
