How to reset or change MAS stack member id

  • 1.  How to reset or change MAS stack member id

    Posted Apr 13, 2012 04:58 AM

    Many people have asked those questions so let me post the information here ..

     

    1.> Release a used stack member-id

    (ArubaS2500-48P-US) #clear stacking member-id ?
    <id>                    Member id(0-15)

     

    2.> Renumber stack member-id

    (ArubaS2500-48P-US) #set stacking renumber <old-id>  <new-id> 

     

    3.> Swap stack member-ids

    (ArubaS2500-48P-US) #set stacking swap <id1>  <id2> 

     

    You must keep in mind - those commands will change / clear your stack member IDs but will NOT change your corrsponding configuration. For instance, once you set stacking member id=2 to id=1; all your original interface setting 2/x/x will NOT automatically change to 1/x/x and you need to manually configure them.

     

    To remove all your stacking database and roll back to factory default configuration, you can use the command -

     

    (ArubaS2500-48P-US) #restore factory_default stacking

    All configuration and stack settings will be restored to
    factory default on this member after reload.
    Press 'y' to proceed with reload: [y/n]: y
    System will now restart
    ........

     

    Your device will be automatically reboot after this restore command....

    Just to add, 'restore factory_default stacking' is executed for indivdual nodes of stack not for whole stack.

    Be carefule in issueing the 'restore factory_default stacking' command; while it does apply to an individual stack member that individual will be the primary member even if issued from the console of a different switch in the stack.
