Differences in Stack Unit Replacement

Stack unit replacement is handled differently beginning with FastIron release 08.0.90. The following table compares stack unit replacement in FastIron release 08.0.90 and earlier releases.

Note: Unit replacement cannot be performed when stack zero-touch provisioning is enabled. Stack zero-touch provisioning is a superset of unit replacement and can handle single or multiple unit replacements.
Note: If the unit replacement process cannot handle particular cases due to ambiguity, RUCKUS recommends using stack interactive-setup.

Replace multiple stack units simultaneously Yes No
Handle any setup No1 Yes
Replace a unit when one provisional configuration matches the replacement Yes Yes
