I received a new Stackwise cable to make my switch stack of 5 Cisco 3750x's now fully redundant.
Upon connecting the new Stackwise cable, I found that the switch did not recognize the new cable. I later found that it is recommended to reload the switch that I just connected to so that the cable would be recognized.
Switch 4 is my master switch, so would reloading slot 5 (switch 5) be sufficient or does the whole stack need to be reloaded? If reloading the slot is sufficient, is there any way that I can schedule a reload in the middle of the night for just that one particular slot?
Here is the current output (MAC addresses omitted for security):
