Troubleshooting a strictly provisioned, mismatched type
When the MAC address matches a strictly provisioned configuration, it either matches the configured type and succeeds, or it does not match the type and fails. This is because the MAC address is unique and you cannot have duplicate MAC addresses.
The log messages indicate that this was the type of failure. The information in the log message helps you correct the configuration.

The switch that fails to join automatically reboots. Execute the
show stacking
command to view the mis-configured entry.Displaying the mis-configured entry

The configuration entry for member 4 matches a J9726A switch that will be added, however, it will fail because it is configured as a J9728A switch.

The following example shows the log entries with the failure to join the stack.

You cannot retype the configuration command with the same MAC address, member ID, and a different J-number. You must remove the configuration and then reconfigure this switch member entry.
