Stacking Configuration Considerations
A stacking module combines the resources of two or more identically configured appliances. See
Firepower 8000 Series Stacking Module, page 3-9
for information about which Firepower 8000 Series
models support stacking. Configure the modules as follows for stacked devices:
•
You can use a device stack as you would a single device in your deployment, with a few exceptions.
If you have Firepower 8000 Series devices in a high-availability pair, you cannot stack a device
high-availability pair or a device in a high-availability pair.
•
When replacing NetMods on a stacked configuration, complete all procedures on the secondary
units first, then perform any replacements on the primary unit.
•
Install NetMods on the primary device only.
•
Install one stacking module on the primary device for each stacked secondary device, and one
stacking module on each secondary device.
Using Devices in a Stacked Configuration, page 3-10
for complete information about stacking. See
the “8000 Series Device Stacking” chapter in the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide
for information about managing device stacks with your Firepower Management Center.
