Stacking Commands
Stacking is supported on the FN410S and FN410T cards with ports 9 and 10 as the stack ports. Stacking is limited to six
Aggregators in the same or different chassis in a single stack.
Stacking provides a single point of management and NIC teaming for high availability and higher throughput. To configure an
Aggregator stack, you must use the CLI.
The stacking commands are always available and operational. You can use the commands to pre-configure an Aggregator, so
that the configuration settings are invoked when the Aggregator is attached to other Aggregator blades.
For more information about using the Aggregator stacking feature, see the Stacking Aggregators chapter in the Dell Networking
OS Configuration Guide for theFN IOM.
You can use the following commands to manage a stack of Aggregator I/O modules:
● power-cycle stack-unit
● reset stack-unit
● show system stack-ports
●
show system stack-unit stack-group
● stack-unit iom-mode
NOTE:
The terms stack-unit-id, unit-id, stack-unit-number, stack-number, and unit-number
mentioned in this chapter refers to the stack-unit-number.
