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.
NOTE After a port is allocated for stacking, you can only use it for stacking. If stack-group 0 is allocated for stacking, you can use ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 for stacking but not for Ethernet anymore. If only port 1 is used for stacking, ports 2, 3, and 4 are spare; they cannot be used for Ethernet.
  1. Assign a stack group for each unit.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    stack-unit id stack-group id
    Begin with the first port on the management unit. Next, configure both ports on each subsequent unit. Finally, return to the management unit and configure the last port.
    The range is from 0 to 17.
  2. Save the stacking configuration 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 configurations 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.
