Disconnect stack cables to remove the member switches.



Step 3 Add the removed member switches as standalone devices to the network again.

A removed device was a member switch, so it uses the stack MAC address within the stack

MAC address switching delay to inherit the configuration of the member switch. After the

stack MAC address switching delay expires, the removed device uses its own system MAC

address.

In a stack with a ring topology, connect the two stack interfaces that connect the removed

member switch using stack cables to ensure network reliability. Connect stack port 0/1 of

the member switch to stack port 0/2 of the neighboring member switch. Otherwise, the

stack may fail to run properly.

In a stack with a chain topology, removing an intermediate device may cause the split of

the stack. Therefore, analyze services before removing member switches from the stack

to minimize the impact on services.
