I have two Dell M8024-k switches and they are driving me absolutely crazy. I recently placed them both in a stack for testing purposes (they're not in production). Now I want to just reset them to factory defaults as I've decided against using the stack. Here's what I did:
- Reset in many different ways - delete startup-config, clear config / wr, reset to factory from GUI, etc
- Removed stack cables
- Tried going through the initial setup wizard but I still end up with my switches in stacks
- Tried connecting via console to use boot options, console just doesn't work.
Now what's happening is both switches are showing as Master, and when they boot up they go into their own individual stack, albeit in stand-alone mode. So, Switch A is Master of Stack A in stand-alone mode. Switch B is Master of Stack B in stand-alone mode.
Is this by design? Is their no way to completely remove the stack configuration from the switches and start from scratch?
