Provide support for stacking nomenclature when not stacked

Provide support for stacking nomenclature when not stacked

Maybe it’s there and I’m missing it. I would LOVE to have EXOS give you an option to use stacking nomenclature on non-stacked switches! We enable stacking all of the time, just to keep our configs consistent regardless of the environment we’re in. The problem is that we lose the stacking ports (especially in SFP+ stacked environments). It would be so much easier if you could always just treat the first unstacked switch as SLOT1 (even when by itself). Anyone else find this a bit annoying? Seems like it would be a fairly simple fix...

The beer offer still stands! Thanks for the quick response… @B-rad , you’re invited too!

It makes total sense. Now that I’m looking at the reference, that’s the only subcommand for conf system (felt like there would be more for some reason). This made my night! Ah, the simple things in life...

The unit I did that on is not stacked.
