Solved: adding 3750 to stack

dimaggra015 · ‎11-13-2009

Hello,

I just moved a 3750 switch from a stack where it was #4. I wiped out the config by holding in the mode button, then checked it through the console port.

Then I installed it in another stack as the #3 switch, removing the stack cables while the other 2 switches were powered up and connecting them to the unpowered switch #3.

I then powered up the #3 switch. Everthing seemed to work fine except that the switch shows up as #4 instead of three. Did I miss something here?

You can renumber the switch. See the Add a Provisioned Switch to a Switch Stack paragraph. The link should answer your other questions as well. For even more detailed info, check the configuration guide for the 3750s.

If you manually change the stack member number by using the switch current-stack-member-number renumber new-stack-member-number global configuration command, the new number goes into effect after that stack member resets (or after you use the reload slot stack-member-numberprivileged EXEC command) and only if that number is not already assigned to any other members in the stack.

Here is the link for the bible of 3750 STACk :-
