be disabled.
To return the switch to stack membership, first connect to the switch via its console
port, then run the stack enable command. Then save the configuration and run
the
ordinary member.

original stack master status. To do this you must run the
This time—because the switch is now a stack member—the command will reboot
the whole stack and result in a new master election.
