Setup Guide
• Add Units to an Existing Stack
• Split a Stack
Create a Stack
Stack Group/Port Numbers
By default, each unit in Standalone mode is numbered stack-unit .
Enabling Front End Port Stacking
To enable the front ports on a unit for stacking, use the following commands.
NOTE: You can stack a maximum of eight 10G stack ports.
1 Assign a stack group for each unit.
CONFIGURATION mode
stack-unit id stack-group id
Begin with the rst port on the management unit. Next, congure both ports on each subsequent unit. Finally, return to the
management unit and congure the last port.
2 Save the stacking conguration on the ports.
EXEC Privilege mode
write memory
3 Reload the switch.
EXEC Privilege mode
reload
Dell EMC Networking OS automatically assigns a number to the new unit and adds it as member switch in the stack.
The new unit synchronizes its running and startup congurations with the stack.
4 After the units are reloaded, the system reboots. The units come up in a stack after the reboot completes.
To view the port assignments, use the show system stack-unit command.
Creating a New Stack
Prior to creating a stack, know which unit will be the management unit and which will be the standby unit.
1 Power up all units in the stack.
2 Verify that each unit has the same Dell EMC Networking OS version prior to stacking them together.
EXEC Privilege mode
show version
3 Manually congure unit numbers for each unit, so that the stacking is deterministic upon boot up.
EXEC Privilege mode
