Configuration Guide Vol. 1


8.1.7 Conversion to standalone

Return each member switch to standalone from a stack consisting of a member switch with switch number 1 and switch number 2. The setting procedure differs between the switch with switch number 1 and the switch with switch number 2. Disconnect from the network before setting up the stack in a single configuration.

For a two-stack stack, assume that the following configuration has been set:

stack enable
switch 1 provision 3660-48xt4qw
switch 2 provision 3660-48xt4qw
switch 1 priority 20
switch 2 priority 10

<Structure of this section>

(1) Transferring a Member Switch with Switch Number 1 to Standalone

Deletes the configuration for the member switch with switch number 2 and the configuration for the stack functionality.

Note that the stack port configuration cannot be deleted on a model that implements a stack-only port. When the stack function is disabled and the switch is restarted, the switch starts with the stack port removed from the running-config.

Points to note

After deleting the configuration related to the stack functionality, you must restart the switch.

Command examples

  1. (config)# interface hundredgigabitethernet 1/0/52

    (config-if)# no switchport mode stack

    (config-if)# exit

    Delete the stacking port of this member switch.

  2. (config)# no switch 2 provision

    Deletes models other than this member switch. Because this member switch is switch number 1, delete the model with switch number 2.

  3. (config)# no switch 1 priority

    (config)# no switch 2 priority

    Deletes the master election priority of switch number 1 and switch number 2.

  4. (config)# no stack enable

    Disables the stack function.

  5. (config)# save

    (config)# exit

    Saves the configuration and returns to administrator mode from configuration command mode.

  6. # reload

    Restarts the Switch.

(2) Switch number 2 member switch to standalone

First, change the switch number to 1. Next, delete the configuration for the member switch with switch number 2 and the configuration for the stack functionality.

Points to note

After changing the switch number to 1, restart the member switch first.

Next, you must delete the configuration for the member switch with switch number 2 and the configuration for the stack functionality, and then restart the switch again.

Command examples

  1. (config)# no switch 1 provision

    (config)# save

    (config)# exit

    Delete the model with switch number 1. Save the configuration and return to administrator mode.

  2. # set switch 1

    Set the switch number to 1.

  3. # reload

    Restart the member switch. After rebooting, the member switch operates as the master switch with switch number 1.

  4. (config)# no switch 2 provision

    Deletes models other than this member switch. Because this member switch is switch number 1, delete the model with switch number 2.

  5. (config)# no switch 1 priority

    (config)# no switch 2 priority

    Deletes the master election priority of switch number 1 and switch number 2.

  6. (config)# no stack enable

    Disables the stack function.

  7. (config)# save

    (config)# exit

    Saves the configuration and returns to administrator mode from configuration command mode.

  8. # reload

    Restarts the Switch.
