Stacking Limitations
The GbESM with BLADEOS 6.3 can operate in one of two modes:
Default mode, which is the regular stand-alone (or non-stacked) mode.
Stacking mode, in which multiple physical switches aggregate functions as a single switching
device.
When in stacking mode, the following stand-alone features are not supported:
Active Multi-Path Protocol (AMP)
SFD
sFlow port monitoring
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD)
Port flood blocking
BCM rate control
Link Layer Detection Protocol (LLDP)
Protocol-based VLANs
RIP
OSPF and OSPFv3
IPv6
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
Loopback Interfaces
Router IDs
Route maps
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
MAC address notification
Static MAC address adding
Static multicast
MSTP
IGMP Relay and IGMPv3
Note –
In stacking mode, switch menus and commands for unsupported features may be
unavailable, or may have no effect on switch operation.
