Managed Switches Note: If you are replacing a member with the same model in the same position in the chassis, you do not need to preconfigure it. The new member assumes the same configuration as the previous member. 1. Issue the member command. To view the supported unit types, use the show supported switchtype command. 2. Configure the member that you just defined with configuration commands, just as if the member were physically present. Ports for the preconfigured unit come up in a detached state. 3. To see the ports, use the show port all command. Now you can configure the detached ports for VLAN membership and any other port-specific configuration. After you preconfigure a member type for a specific slot number, attaching a blade with a different blade type for this slot number causes the chassis to report an error. The show chassis command indicates a configuration mismatch for the new member and the ports on that slot do not come up. To resolve this situation, you can change the slot number of the mismatched unit or delete the preconfigured blade type using the no member command. When you add a new blade to the chassis, the chassis applies either the preconfigured configuration or the default configuration. The following table lists the events that occur when the chassis compares the preconfigured configuration with the new member. Table 3. Preconfigured blade compared to chassis configuration Same Blade Type Yes Same Slot Yes Yes No No Yes No No Result The chassis applies the configuration to the preconfigured new blade and adds the blade to the chassis. The chassis applies the default configuration to the new blade and adds the blade to the chassis. The chassis considers it a configuration mismatch. All of its ports retain detached mode and no configuration applies to the member. The chassis applies the default configuration to the new blade and adds the blade to the chassis. Move the Supervisor to a Different Blade Only one blade can be the supervisor in one chassis. But you can move the supervisor to another blade if you must do so. In the chassis, only the blades in slot 1 or slot 2 can be used as the supervisor, so two blades are required and they are in slot 1 and slot 2.
