Command Summary
The following sections briefly describe the commands for configuring the
master and member switches for stacking with the optional stacking ports.
For further instructions, refer to the
Software Reference for x550 Switch,
AlliedWare Plus Operating System . After reviewing the commands, go to
“Configuring the Master Switch” on page 148 to start the configuration
procedures.
STACKPORT
This command is used to designate the ports of the stack trunk. After you
enter the command, the designated ports stop functioning as regular
Ethernet ports and function instead as the stack trunk. If you are using the
QSFP+ ports 17 and 21 as the stack trunk, you do not have to perform this
command because those ports are the default trunk ports. However, if you
want to use the optional 10Gbps ports as trunk ports, you have to
designate them with this command. Refer to Table 17 on page 54 for a list
of the default and optional trunk ports.
The command is performed in the Interface mode of the selected ports. In
this example, the optional stacking ports 15 to 16 on the switch are
designated as the stack trunk:
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.15-1.0.16
awplus(config-if)# stackport
To remove the stacking function from ports and return them to regular
Ethernet networking ports, use the NO version of the command. You might
perform this command if you are not using QSFP+ ports 17 and 21 as the
stack trunk and want to use them instead as regular Ethernet ports, or if
you inadvertently assign the stacking function to the wrong ports. This
example removes the stacking function from the default stacking ports 17
and 21:
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.17-1.0.21
awplus(config-if)# no stackport
STACK
ENABLE
This command is used to enable the VCStack feature on the switch. You
will probably not have to perform this command because the default
setting for the feature is enabled. However, if for any reason the feature
was disabled, you can enable it by entering the command in the Global
Configuration mode. Here is the command:
awplus(config)# stack enable
If you ever want to disable stacking, such as to use the switch as a stand-
alone unit, enter the NO version of the command, shown here:
awplus(config)# no stack enable
