NOTE: If you reconfigure the priorities of stacked switches in an existing S5000 stack, reload the
stack so that a new master and standby election performs.
Renumbering a Stack Unit
By default, each stack unit is assigned the unit-number 0.
When you renumber a stacked switch in an existing stack:
• If you renumber the master switch, you are prompted to reload the entire stack.
• If you renumber the standby switch, only the switch reloads and is replaced by a member switch that
is elected as the new standby.
• If you renumber a member switch, only the member switch reloads.
• If you renumber a switch to a number already assigned to another stack unit, an error message
displays.
• Renumber a stack unit to pre-configure the numbering of the master, standby, and member units.
EXEC Privilege mode
stack-unit renumber
After you enter the command, you are prompted to reload the switch and save the stacking
configuration.
