Add Units To An Existing S-Series Stack - Dell S4820T Configuration Manual

stacking ports. Please save and reload for config to take effect
Dell(conf)#
Dell#02:39:18: %STKUNIT4-M:CP %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console
Reload each unit in the stack. After the reload is complete, the four units come up as a stack with unit 1 as
the management unit, unit 2 as the standby unit, and the remaining units as stack-members. All units in
the stack can be accessed from the management unit.
To view the stack unit information after the reload, use the show system brief command.
The following example shows how to configure two new switches for stacking using 10G ports.
Dell-1(conf)#stack-unit 0 stack-group 0
Setting ports Te 1/1 Te 1/2 Te 1/3 as stack group will make their interface
configs obsolete after
a reload.
[confirm yes/no]:yes
Dell-2(conf)#stack-unit 0 stack-group 0
Setting ports Te 1/1 Te 1/2 Te 1/3 as stack group will make their interface
configs obsolete after
a reload.
[confirm yes/no]:yes

Add Units to an Existing S-Series Stack

You can add units to an existing stack in one of three ways.
• By manually assigning a new unconfigured unit a position in an existing stack.
• By adding a configured unit to an existing stack.
• By merging two stacks.
If you are adding units to an existing stack, you can either:
• allow Dell Networking OS to automatically assign the new unit a position in the stack, or
• manually determine each units position in the stack by configuring each unit to correspond with the
stack before connecting it.
• If you add a unit that has a stack number that conflicts with the stack, the stack assigns the first
available stack number.
• If the stack has a provision for the stack-number that will be assigned to the new unit, the provision
must match the unit type, or Dell Networking OS generates a type mismatch error.
After the new unit loads, it synchronizes its running and startup configurations with the stack.
