Replacing a Failed Command Switch with Another Switch

Follow these steps when you are replacing a failed command switch with a switch that is
command-capable but not part of the cluster:
Step 1 Insert the new switch in place of the failed command switch, and duplicate its connections to the cluster
members.
Step 2 Start a CLI session on the new command switch.
You can access the CLI by using the console port or, if an IP address has been assigned to the switch, by
using Telnet. For details about using the console port, refer to the switch hardware installation guide.
Step 3 At the switch prompt, change to privileged EXEC mode:

Use the setup program to configure the switch IP information.

privileged EXEC mode, enter setup, and press Return.
