Using the Extreme Stacking Tool

The Extreme Stacking Tool provides an easy way to plan your stack. As you select various switch

models and stacking methods, the tool shows you:

• What switch models can be stacked together and which cannot.

• Whether switching methods – for example, SummitStack-V and SummitStack-V80 (supported in

EXOS 30.1 and prior releases only) – are compatible with the selected switches.

• Statistics showing the routing options that are available with every stack combination.

• Recommendations about which switches should be the stack master and backup.

• Information about the supported versions of ExtremeXOS for every combination.

To use the Stacking Tool, follow these steps.

1. Open the Stacking Tool (HTTPS://STACKINGTOOL.EXTREMENETWORKS.COM/STACKINGTOOL/) in

a web browser.

Note

The Stacking Tool is also available in the Support Tools section of the Extreme Portal.
