Figure 50-17. Removing a Stack Member—After

Merge Two S-Series Stacks

You may merge two stacks while they are powered and online. To merge two stacks, connect one stack to
the other using stacking cables. You may not connect 12G and 24G stack ports.

•

FTOS selects a primary stack manager from the two existing mangers.

•

FTOS resets all the units in the losing stack, and they all become stack members.

•

If there is no unit numbering conflict, the stack members retain their previous unit numbers.
Otherwise, the stack manager assigns new unit numbers, based on the order that they come online.

•

The stack manager overwrites the startup and running config on the losing stack members with its
own.
