You can connect two units with two or more stacking cables in case of a stacking port or cable failure. Removal of only one of the cables
does not trigger a reset.
Stacking Installation Tasks
The following are the stacking installation tasks.
• Create a Stack
• Add Units to an Existing Stack
• Split a Stack
Create a Stack
Stacking is enabled on the device using the front end ports.
Stack Group/Port Numbers
By default, each unit in Standalone mode is numbered stack-unit 0.
A maximum of eight 10G stack links or two 40G stack links can be made between two units in a stack. The front end ports are divided into
16 stack groups, each with 40G of bandwidth. Stack groups 0 through 11 correspond to 10G stack groups with four ports each. Stack
groups 12 to 15 are one 40G port each.
The front end ports accommodate SFP, SFP+ and QSFP+.
• Ports are divided into 16 stack-groups (0 to 15) as shown in the following example. The stack groups must be of a single speed - either
all 10G or all 40G.
• stack-group 0 corresponds to ports 0-3, stack-group 1 corresponds to ports 4-7, so on through stack-group 11.
• stack-group 12 corresponds to the 40G port 48, stack-group 13 corresponds to port 52, so on through stack group 15.
Figure 126. Stack-Group Assignments
You can connect the units while they are powered down or up. Stacking ports are bi-directional.
