Understanding Switch Stacks
Table 5-1 Results of Comparing the Provisioned Configuration with the Provisioned Switch (continued)
Scenario
The stack member number of
the provisioned switch is not
found in the provisioned
configuration.
If you add a provisioned switch that is a different type than specified in the provisioned configuration to
a powered-down switch stack and then apply power, the switch stack rejects the (now incorrect) switch
stack-member-number provision type global configuration command in the startup configuration file.
However, during stack initialization, the nondefault interface configuration information in the startup
configuration file for the provisioned interfaces (potentially of the wrong type) is executed. Depending
on the differences between the actual switch type and the previously provisioned switch type, some
commands are rejected, and some commands are accepted.
For example, suppose the switch stack is provisioned for a 48-port switch with Power over Ethernet
(PoE), the configuration is saved, and the stack is powered down. Then a 24-port switch without PoE
support is connected to the switch stack, and the stack is powered up. In this situation, the configuration
for ports 25 through 48 is rejected, and error messages appear during initialization. In addition, any
configured PoE-related commands that are valid only on PoE-capable interfaces are rejected, even for
ports 1 through 24.
If the switch stack does not contain a provisioned configuration for a new switch, the switch joins the
Note
stack with the default interface configuration. The switch stack then adds to its running configuration a
switch stack-member-number provision type global configuration command that matches the new
switch.

Effects of Replacing a Provisioned Switch in a Switch Stack

When a provisioned switch in a switch stack fails, is removed from the stack, and is replaced with
another switch, the stack applies either the provisioned configuration or the default configuration to it.
The events that occur when the switch stack compares the provisioned configuration with the
provisioned switch are the same as those described in the
Switch Stack" section on page

Effects of Removing a Provisioned Switch from a Switch Stack

If you remove a provisioned switch from the switch stack, the configuration associated with the removed
stack member remains in the running configuration as provisioned information. To completely remove
the configuration, use the no switch stack-member-number provision global configuration command.

Hardware Compatibility and SDM Mismatch Mode in Switch Stacks

The Catalyst 3750-X switch supports only the desktop Switch Database Management (SDM) templates.
All stack members use the SDM template configured on the stack master.

Result
The switch stack applies the default
configuration to the provisioned switch
and adds it to the stack.
