- If you manually change the stack member number by using the switch current-stack-member-number renumber new-stack-member-number EXEC command, the new number goes into effect after that stack member resets (or after you use the reload slot stack-member-number privileged EXEC command) and only if that number is not already assigned to any other.

Hi all, We would like to reboot every member of our 3850 stack (6 members). Poker saint amand tournoi. Share market gambling. Here is the current state: 1- Master 2- Standby 3- Member 4- Member 5- Member 6- Member The goal is to reload them one by one. What is the preferable order to do this while keeping the same state (same master/standy.
I decided to set up constant pings to our devices and use the 'reload at' command to reload all of the switch stacks on all 6 floors of one building at the same time.
We are currently on code version 03.03.05 and are upgrading to 03.07.00 at the advice of Cisco TAC.
I couldn't find much good documentation on the 'reload at' command so I used my test switch stack to figure it out (using the question mark on the CLI is kind of ambiguous).
Below shows what I typed into the CLI:
/noverify Don't verify file signature before reload.
LINE Reason for reload
