Enabling and Disabling Stacking

On the S5700-EI or S5700-SI, run the stack enable or undo stack enable command in the system view to enable or disable stacking. Enabling or disabling stacking takes effect after the switch restarts.

On stacking-supporting switches except S5700-EI or S5700-SI, the stacking function is enabled by default and can be disabled the stacking function using either of the following methods:

Method 1: Run the stack enable or undo stack enable command in the diagnostic view to enable or disable the stacking function. Enabling or disabling the stacking function takes effect after the switch restarts.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] diagnose
[HUAWEI-diagnose] stack enable  //Enable the stacking function.
Warning: All the configurations related to the slot ID will be lost after the stack function is enabled. 
Warning: The device will be reboot. Continue? [Y/N]:y

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] diagnose
[HUAWEI-diagnose] undo stack enable  //Disable the stacking function.
Warning: All the configurations related to the slot ID will be lost after the stack function is disabled.

Method 2: When diagnostic commands cannot be executed, delete stack ports or remove stack cables to disable the stacking function. For details about how to delete stack ports, see Deleting a Stack Member Port.
