need help removing stack membership of a secondar Cisco 3750 to become standalone with primary missing!?

[m-abooali]

Hello folks,

i have purchased a Cisco 3750 switch for my Cisco lab works from Amazon. now, i see that it was once a secondary sw to a stack. it asked for username and pass so I wen through recovery process and also renamed confix.text and created a new config. I even did "wr erase". now that I have access to the switch, it still thinks it is a secondary sw and I can rename or re-provision it to become standalone. it wont allow.all fa interfaces still says interface FastEthernet2/0/1 - 48.

is there any way that I can make this correct? or i file for a return of the sw.

I have done all tricks that I know with no result but being able to login and create new config.

Please advise,

Regards,

Masood

Hi

Could you please share the: show switch output? You could have a switch as provisioned status, so you could execute:

no switch <switch numer> provisioned

like

no switch 3 provisioned

Hi Julio,

thanks for responding. below is the sh switch output. the fist line with "*" was added by me but the second line switch 2 ane with the switch and even "wr erase" did not get rid of it. I will try your commands altho I think I have done that to make the first line command

real-sw1#
real-sw1#
real-sw1#sh switch
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 001a.e36d.1e80
                                           H/W   Current
Switch#  Role   Mac Address     Priority Version  State
----------------------------------------------------------
*1       Master 001a.e36d.1e80     1      0       Ready               
 2       Member 0000.0000.0000     0      0       Provisioned

did it!

interface FastEthernet1/0/44
!
interface FastEthernet1/0/45
!
interface FastEthernet1/0/46
!

BUT

despite executing "Ip routing" command, I get this:

real-sw1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
real-sw1(config)#ip routing
real-sw1(config)#exit
real-sw1#sh
03:16:07: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console ip eigrp neigh
IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 1
real-sw1#ping 192.168.13.1
% Unrecognized host or address, or protocol not running.

real-sw1#

thank you,

Hi Julio,

also, these vlans came with the switch. when at the recovery process I deleted vlan.dat file from flash but it did not get rid of these vlans

2    DATA_VLAN                        active    
3    VMWARE_LAN                       active    
4    FW_Link                          active    
          
VLAN Name                             Status    Ports
---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
5    VMWARE_LAN2                      active    
6    NETSCALER_VLAN                   active    
7    ILO_VLAN

any suggestions please?

Best Regards,
