Question: How to Renumber a member’s slot number in Mobility Access Switch

Environment: Multiple Switch in a Stacking and want to renumber or order the switch according to the Physical deployment.

If we have multiple Switch in a Stacking, the member ID allocation is based on the Algorithms or election process. Sometimes the Member ID for the switch will not get matched with the Physical access of the Switch. So in order to Match the Member ID with the Switch Physical Access/deployment, we can change or renumber the Members's slot number in Stacking.

Renumber a member’s slot number to a new slot number. Execute this command from the Primary.

set stacking renumber <id> <new-id>

(Switch) #set stacking renumber ?
<old-id>                Old Member ID (0-7)

(Switch) #set stacking renumber 1 ?
<new-id>                New Member ID (0-7)

#show stacking members
