Hi,
I would like to know the steps to break the stacked switch
I have 2 2960S - 48 port switch which is pre configured for stack... but now i would like to use only one Switch not 2 switches...hence could anyone please let me know the steps to break the configuration
switch 1 provision ws-c2960s-48fps-l
switch 2 provision ws-c2960s-48fps-l
Thanks

What can you see with a "show switch" command?
The situation it's not clear, anyway if the second switch is not yet connected you can simply do this:
conf t
no switch 2 provision ws-c2960s-48fps-l
end
with this command you remove the configuration related to ports G2/0/1 to G2/0/48 and uplinks for the 2nd switch.

Ok, let us presume you do not want to use switch 2.
So you POWER DOWN switch 2 and remove the stacking cable. On switch 1 (the master), you then issue the command "no switch 2 prov ws-c2960s-48fps-l".
Next, power up switch 2 and issue the renumber command "switch 2 renumber 1". Reboot this switch and the switch interface will now be "Gi 1/0/X" instead of "Gi 2/0/X".
You also may want to ensure that switch 2 (or ex-switch 2) doesn't have any stack election "priority" set. You can find out by using the command "sh switch detail". If the value is "1" then it's good.
