Reconfiguring Stacked Switches as VLT

To convert switches that have been stacked to VLT peers, use the following procedure.

1. Remove the current configuration from the switches. You will need to split the configuration up for each switch.
2. Copy the files to the flash memory of the appropriate switch.
3. Copy the files on the flash drive to the startup-config.
4. Reset the stacking ports to user ports for both switches.
5. Reload the stack and confirm the new configurations have been applied.
6. On the Secondary switch (stack-unit 2), enter the command stack-unit 2 renumber 1.
7. Confirm the reload query.
8. After reloading, confirm that VLT is enabled.
9. Confirm that the management ports are interconnected or connected to a switch that can transfer Heartbeat information.
