Terry, i have 5 units stacked, switch 3 is having some issues and want to remove from equation. can i just bypass stack ports and config won't change? I am moving my configured ports from switch 3 over to switch4 in advance then plan to just remove switch3 altogether. Will this disrupt? Thanks in advance
How does it determine the stacking ID/unit numbers? I've found in the past if I have a stack of 4, for example, instead of 1-2-3-4 in order of my physical units, it may order them 1-4-2-3. Which makes it very confusing when physically looking at the switches in a closet. I hardcode the units before I stack them, in the order I want them. Takes less time than letting it build on its own, then having to renumber 4 switches.
Currently it uses the higher stack port number as the next number. For example from unit 1 it will use port 1/3/2 as the next number rather than 1/3/1. That is changing in an upcoming release and going forward will work with the lower port number so your stacks will deploy as you expect.
No, once the stack is configured the first time it just probes for changes every 3 min. If a new switch is added it will configure and reboot the new one only.

after the first reboot of the zero touch is done will they re-boot again after 3mins if you do not turn of the zero touch feature?
