Recover from Stack Link Flaps
S-Series Stack Link Integrity Monitoring enables units to monitor their own stack ports and disable any
stack port that flaps five times within 10 seconds. FTOS displays console messages the local and remote
members of a flapping link, and on the primary (master) and standby management units as KERN-2-INT
messages if the flapping port belongs to either of these units.
In the following example, a stack-port on the master flaps. The remote member, Member 2, displays a
console message, and the master and standby display KERN-2-INT messages.
To re-enable the downed stack-port, power cycle the offending unit.

Recover from a Card Problem State on an S-Series Stack
If a unit added to a stack has a dif f erent FTOS version, the unit does not come online and FT OS cites a card
problem error, as shown in
FTOS version to match the stack, and then reconnect it to the stack, as shown in
