I have SF 500 that is configured in stacking mode right now. If I change it to standalone mode does that clear the config? I need access to gig 1 and 2 but they are set at the stacking ports right now.
Thank you ,

Hi Greg,
Yes, the startup config is deleted. So you will loose all your settings and device will return to the factory defaults.

Aleksandra is right
from the admin guide:

Configuration After Reboot
When you change the stack mode of a device and reboot the device, the Startup
Configuration file is usually removed because it may contain configuration
information that is not applicable to the new mode.
It is retained after bootup in the following cases:
• SG500X/ESW2-550X devices:
- Standalone to Native Stacking—Retained only when the unit is forced
to become the master with unit ID = 1
- Basic Hybrid to Advanced Hybrid—Retained only when the unit is
forced to become the master with unit ID = 1
- Basic Hybrid to Advanced Hybrid XG—Retained only when the unit is
forced to become the master with unit ID = 1
