Add a Configured Unit to an Existing Stack
To add a configured unit to an existing stack use the following steps.
If a stack unit goes down and is removed from the stack, the logical provisioning configured for that
stack-unit number is saved on the master and standby units. When a new unit is added to the stack, if a
stack group configuration conflict occurs between the new unit and the provisioned stack unit, the
configuration of the new unit takes precedence.
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode
1 Add the configured unit to the top or bottom of the stack.
2 Power on the switch.
3 Attach cables to connect ports on the added switch to one or more existing switches in the stack.
4 Logon to the CLI and enter global configuration
mode.

5 Configure the ports on the added switch for
stacking, where:
stack-unit 0 defines the default ID unit-number
in the initial configuration of a switch.
stack-group group-number configures a port for
stacking.

7 Reload the switch. FTOS automatically assigns a
number to the new unit and adds it as member
switch in the stack. The new unit synchronizes its
running and startup configurations with the stack.
