Interesting day today, that it was.  Well, I guess I should say that the weekend was interesting as we had some bad weather &#8211; and just by some random chance we lost a CoreWAN router and a Cisco 3750 Stack member.  So lets just say that I spent my morning recovering the WAN router by moving the circuits to another router and recovering a 3750 switch.  Since moving WAN circuits around is no big deal, lets talk about recovering a Cisco 3750 stack member switch.  
I will assume you have identified the switch that is dead &#8211; no lights is a good indication &#8211; and have received your replacement switch from Cisco already. The first thing you should do is independently boot the new switch and check the IOS version and make sure that it is either the same or compatible.  For me, I prefer to make sure they are the same before adding a switch to the stack as I never trust &#8220;compatible&#8221; version of switch code.  If you have ever upgraded a 3750 stack, you know it can take some time for the stack to come back &#8211; over 10 minutes is not unheard of.  
So what do you do if you lose a switch in your stack, and have the right replacement?  Amazingly enough, just swap it out and the stack will work as normal. Now, don&#8217;t we always wish life was that simple!]]></description></item></channel></rss>
