Single flash for switches in stack

cparapally

Level 1

Hi,

Is it possible to use a single flash for all the switches in stack?

In one of my locations, I found four switches in stack. When I try to check the IOS for all the switches in stack, except in master, all other are not showing any output for sh flash:

If the master switch is down, how the other switches will run!!!

Here is the output of sh ver:

Hi

You should be able the do a sh flash2 and see the image version

If it's not there, the switch will continue working but will not boot if reseted

You must always have a valid image on every switch in the stack

No each switch has its own image in its own flash , to look at it do the following.

show flash1: Switch 1

show flash2: Switch 2

show flash3: Switch 3

etc , etc , etc.............
