Solved: Cisco Stack switch renumber ; impact on interface config

Jay47110 · ‎05-03-2022

Hi,

I have a question regarding Cisco Stack wise switch renumbering.

I have a couple of C2960X stack switches (number 2 and 3) and I want to renumber of the switches in the stack from i.e. from 3 to 1 using

# switch 3 renumber 1

I understand the stack member will need to be rebooted for the renumbering to take effect. However, does renumbering have any impact on the interface configuration? i.e. would the config on the now switch 1 interfaces remain as is or will it be cleared of all config after reboot?

Kind regards

See the config save in NVRAM refering port config 3/0/1 (example trunk)

when you change the number from switch 3 to switch1 ( the information not available gi 1/0/1 - so that will be empty config)

I do not believe switch is so intellegent to change the config also if the port-number changed.

So you need to be aware this information, make sense ?
