Considerations About Using Clear Config in a Stack
When using the clear config command (page 3‐51) to clear configuration parameters in a stack, it
is important to remember the following:
•
Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack unit IDs. This command
WILL NOT clear stack parameters or the IP address and avoids the process of renumbering
the stack.
•
Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack unit
IDs and switch priority values. This command will not clear the IP address nor will it remove
an applied advanced feature license.
•
Use clear ip address to remove the IP address of the stack.
•
Use clear license to remove an applied license from a switch.
Configuration parameters and stacking information can also be cleared on the master unit only
by selecting the "restore configuration to factory defaults" option from the boot menu on switch
startup. This selection will leave stacking priorities on all other units.
Issues Related to Mixed Type Stacks
Feature Support
Because the SecureStack B2 and B3 switches have different hardware architectures, the
functionality supported by the two switch types is different. When the two types of switches are
mixed in a stack, the functionality supported will be the lowest common denominator of features
supported on all platforms. Refer to the firmware Release Notes for information about supported
features.
Configuration
Common Firmware Version
Mixed stacking is only supported by SecureStack B2 firmware version 4.00.xx and higher. In order
to mix SecureStack B3 switches with B2 switches, you must install the B2 firmware (version
4.00.xx or higher) on the B3 switch. You can install the B2 firmware first, with the B3 switch in
stand‐alone mode, or you can add the B3 switch to the stack and then copy the B2 firmware to the
B3 switch using the set switch copy‐fw command (page 2‐10). After copying the B2 firmware to
the B3 switch, you must reset the stack.
Switch Manager
It is recommended that a SecureStack B3 switch be made the manager of a mixed stack. Use the set
switch movemanagement command (page 2‐11) to change the manager unit.
