'no vstack' command persist after reboot ?

We just had a security audit and they told us that some of our switches still had vstack enabled.

Models:

WS-C3560X-48

WS-C2960CG-8TC-L

 

I am trying to understand why this would be, as I had previously added the command 'no vstack' to all switches. I did have some switches that would not take the command 'no vstack' but when I checked via 'sh vstack config' they showed the Vstack Director IP address as 0.0.0.0 which I thought meant that vstack was disabled. 

 

Therefore, does the following output mean that vstack is disabled ?

 

mySwitch(config)#do sh vstack config
Role: Client
Vstack Director IP address: 0.0.0.0

 

or is it essential that you see the words '(SmartInstall disabled)' i.e.:

 

switch# show vstack config
 
Role: Client (SmartInstall disabled)
Vstack Director IP address: 0.0.0.0

Hi,

What switch model do you have?  If vstack is disabled, the operational  mode should be disabled and role should be N/A

e.g.

*3850*

sh vstack config
Capability: Director | Client
Oper Mode: Disabled
Role: NA
Vstack Director IP address: 0.0.0.0

 

*3560*

sh vstack config
Capability: Director | Client
Oper Mode: Disabled
Role: NA
Vstack Director IP address: 0.0.0.0

 

Thanks

John

Hello, the models are:

WS-C3560X-48

WS-C2960CG-8TC-L

 

What exactly do I need to do to disable vstack.

With these models either the command 'no vstack' cannot be entered or it is already entered but the following shows up:

 

mySwitch(config)#do sh vstack config
Role: Client
Vstack Director IP address: 0.0.0.0

Hi,

 The command "no vstack" should work for those switches and it should persistence after a reload. "show vstack config" should display the following output when  vtack is disabled on 2960 and 3560x running 15.0(2)SE9:

sh vstack config
Role: Client (SmartInstall disabled)
Vstack Director IP address: 0.0.0.0

 

Thanks

John

The command "no vstack" should persist as long as the configuration is saved.
