Note: If you preconfigure a virtual switch and then add a physical switch of a different type to the
stack as that unit number, any configured functionality that cannot be supported on the physical
switch will cause a configuration mismatch status for that device and the ports of the new device will
join detached. You must clear the mismatch before the new device will properly join the stack.
