How does one remove unused stack units from a C1300?

[KoenD]

I've got C1300 switches and by default there are 8 units defined for stacking. I don't use stacking, but SNMP always reports back with all possible interfaces as if it has 8 stacked switches.

How do I remove unused units or disable stacking on C1300 so it just reports on the actual physical interface over SNMP?

Hello @KoenD ,

can you share the config of the C1300?

[KoenD]

I'm afraid there is no much to share, appart from the stack configuration. The rest is just simple config.

!
unit-type-control-start
unit-type unit 1 network gi uplink te
unit-type unit 2 network gi uplink te
unit-type unit 3 network gi uplink te
unit-type unit 4 network gi uplink te
unit-type unit 5 network gi uplink te
unit-type unit 6 network gi uplink te
unit-type unit 7 network gi uplink te
unit-type unit 8 network gi uplink te
unit-type-control-end
!

It seems there is no way of removing unit-types.

Have you tried followed by saving the config and reload?

no unit-type unit 1 network gi uplink te
no unit-type unit 2 network gi uplink te
no unit-type unit 3 network gi uplink te
no unit-type unit 4 network gi uplink te
no unit-type unit 5 network gi uplink te
no unit-type unit 6 network gi uplink te
no unit-type unit 7 network gi uplink te
no unit-type unit 8 network gi uplink te

Tried that, but returns % Unrecognized command

Can you share the output of the commands:

show stack

show stack configuration

show stack links

See here (apologies for the bad formatting):

From the outputs you shared, there seems there is no stack configured. Can you try the following command in global config mode:

no stack configuration links te11 unit-id 1

[KoenD]

Only 'no stack configuration' is available as command.

[liviu.gheorghe]

Ok. Use 'no stack configuration' command.

[KoenD]

Did that already. Needs a reboot of the device. Will be done this night.

Enter global configuration mode with 'configure terminal', then use 'no switch <unit-number> provision' to de-provision the unit. Save the changes with 'write memory' or 'copy running-config startup-config'. This updates the stack configuration to reflect only and Only active units.

[KoenD]

'no switch <unit-number> provision' is an unrecognized command.

C1300s are not IOS based, but some Linux flavour it appears.
