6. Click Apply.
In order for the new member unit to work properly within a stack, it needs to have the same firmware
as the Master. The easiest way to accomplish this is to configure the Master switch to use the Stack
Firmware Synchronization feature shown below.
Optionally, a manual update of the firmware can be performed on the new member to synchronize the
firmware prior to adding it to the stack. If this is preferred, see the instructions that came with the
firmware for directions to manually update the firmware.
Power down the switch to be added by removing the power cords. If performing on an M8024-k, then
unplug it from the M1000e blade chassis.
Perform the following only on the Master switch.
7. Select System > Stack Management > Stack Firmware Synchronization.
8. Use the pull-down menu beside Stack Firmware Synchronization and select Enable.
Optionally, enable an SNMP Trap to be sent whenever a firmware sync is triggered.
