The interfaces are showing as interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24 which suggests stacking.
I have rebooted the switch and run flash_init, del flash:config.text successfully and rebooted.
On boot up it shows the text below (switch 1 has been ADDED to the stack).
The switch at the moment is purely connected via the console port.
How can I configure the switch so that it doesn't belong to a Stack (baby steps please)
kind regards
Rick

1 - Power off the new stack member to be removed. Â Â Â
2 - Remove the StackWise cable from the switch. Â
3 - Issue the command no switch stack-member-number provision command.
There is no StackWise cable plugged into the switch.
The only cable plugged into the switch is the console cable.
None of our other switches on our LAN are stacked.

So you can just type - no switch stack-member-number provision
Should look like this for example- "no switch 1 provision"

Your initial post said to switch off the switch in question that needs to be removed.
I guess this is if you have a stack master on the network and you issue the command on that switch, which I don't.
I have tried to issue the command on the switch that I am consoled into but I get the following response.
Switch(config)#no switch 1 provision
%Switch can not be un-provisioned when it is physically present

The only reason I questioned it is because I had already installed two identical switches on other LANS and both have the interfaces as GigabitEthernet0/24.
kind regards, Rick

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
