Extreme provided me a replacement switch for my x460-48 because of a failing POE module. Replacement is a x460-48P with exos 16.2.2.4. Failing switch is same model with exos of 16.2.4.5.
The x460 is the second member of a two member stack. The other switch is a x440-24x showing to have exos of 16.2.4.5.
This is the core of my network so once it goes down, my internet options are limited in our rural area in terms of researching issues that might arise.
Can someone advise me as to the approach to replacing this switch? I am comfortable working with the CLI via telnet or hypertm (locally connected) in terms of commands. But not what all needs to be done prior to shutting down the x460 (or perhaps shutting down both members of the stack). For instance do I issue the command enable stack on the replacement switch prior to putting it in the stack.

Hello,
if you have a look to this guide:
You can do all steps till “Configuring the Replacement Node From the Existing Stack” via serial connection on the replacement switch. The following steps are done from the remaining switch from you stack (I assume that this switch is the master at the moment).

The response is appreciated and have read through the difference articles. Can you advise as to whether or not I will be able to use the serial connection on the “replacement” switch for executing the commands. I have yet to get a connectivity to the management port on the either of the switches using serial to cat5 adapter provided.
