The switch that fails to join automatically reboots. Execute the show stacking command to view

the mis-configured entry.

The configuration entry for member 5 matches a J9576A switch that will be added, however, it

will fail because it is configured as a J9575A switch.

The following example shows the log entries with the failure to join the stack.

You cannot re-type the configuration command with the same MAC address, member ID, and a

different J-number. You need to remove the configuration and then reconfigure this switch member

entry.
