Removing Front End Port Stacking
To remove the configuration on the front end ports used for stacking, use the following commands.
1. Remove the stack group configuration that is configured.
CONFIGURATION mode
no stack-unit id stack-group id
2. Save the stacking configuration on the ports.
EXEC Privilege mode
write memory
3. Reload the switch.
EXEC Privilege mode
reload
After the units are reloaded, the system reboots. The units come up as standalone units after the reboot completes.
Troubleshoot a Stack
To troubleshoot a stack, use the following recovery tasks.
• Recover from Stack Link Flaps
• Recover from a Card Problem State on a Stack
Recover from Stack Link Flaps
Stack link integrity monitoring enables units to monitor their own stack ports and disable any stack port that flaps five times within 10
seconds.
Dell EMC Networking OS displays console messages for 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 a Stack
If a unit added to a stack has a different Dell EMC Networking OS version, the unit does not come online and Dell EMC Networking OS
cites a card problem error.
To recover, disconnect the new unit from the stack, change the Dell EMC Networking OS version to match the stack, and then reconnect
it to the stack.
