Removing a Member or the Standby
-
Establish a console session with the stack using a direct console cable connection or telnet [or equivalent command-line tool]. If using the console cable, connect it to the Standby.
-
Enter the following command to remove the switch from the stack:
switch(config)# stacking member <n> remove
This causes the switch to lose its complete configuration and be removed from the stack configuration. A subsequentshow stacking
command issued to the stack will show that the removed switch no longer exists in the stack. -
Power down the removed switch.
-
Disconnect the stacking cables from the removed switch and from the other switches in the stack.
