Example
If you are removing a provisioned switch in a stack with this configuration:
• The stack has four members
• Stack member 1 is the active stack
• Stack member 3 is a provisioned switch
and want to remove the provisioned information and to avoid receiving an error message, you can
remove power from stack member 3, disconnect the cables between the stack member 3 and switches
to which it is connected, reconnect the cables between the remaining stack members, and enter the
no switch stack-member-number provision global configuration command.
Troubleshooting the Switch Stack
Temporarily Disabling a Stack Port
If a stack port is flapping and causing instability in the stack ring, to disable the port, enter the switch
stack-member-number stack port port-number disable privileged EXEC command. To reenable the port,
enter the switch stack-member-number stack port port-number enable command.
