Assigning Unit Numbers to Units in an Stack
Each unit in the stack has a stack number that is either assigned by you or Dell EMC Networking OS.
Units are numbered from 1 to 6. Stack numbers are stored in NVRAM and are preserved upon reload.
• Assign a stack-number to a unit.
EXEC Privilege mode
stack-unit old-unit-number renumber new-unit-number
Renumbering the stack manager triggers the whole stack to reload, as shown in the message below. When the stack comes back online,
the master unit remains the management unit.
Dell#stack-unit 2 renumber 1
Renumbering master unit will reload the stack.
WARNING: Interface configuration for current unit will be lost!
Proceed to renumber [confirm yes/no]: yes
Creating a Virtual Stack Unit on a Stack
Use virtual stack units to congure ports on the stack before adding a new unit.
• Create a virtual stack unit.
CONFIGURATION mode
