I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to access the article I've shared and used it as your guide in adding a new switch to an existing stack? If yes, is everything working fine?

Dana,
The article I had already seen online. Step 4 of the article refers to adding the new switch to the top or bottom of the switch. I have a virtual stack configuered as a redundant ring using 10GB fiber. Each of the switches are in different IDFs in the building. I want to add this new switch between current switch 3 and 4.
I am concern that the new switch will be assigned switch "5" and the switches would be numbered 1-2-3-5-4 (and then back to 1). How import is it that the switch number stay in order?
