Configuring and Bringing Up a Stack

After you attach the cables in a stack of Aggregators, perform the following steps to configure and bring up the stack:

  1. Set up a connection to the CLI on an Aggregator as described in Accessing the CLI.
  2. Connect the terminal to the console port on an Aggregator. Enter the following commands to access the CLI and configure the base module ports for stacking mode:
    Login: username
                                           Password: *****
                                           Dell> enable
                                           Dell# configure
                                           Dell(conf)# stack-unit 0 iom-mode stack
                                        
    Where stack-unit 0 defines the default stack-unit number in the initial configuration of a switch.
  3. Save the stacking configuration on the SFP+ or 10G Base-T ports:
    Dell# write memory
  4. Reboot the Aggregator by entering the reload command in EXEC Privilege mode:
    Dell# reload

Repeat the above steps on each Aggregator in the stack by entering the stackunit 0 iom-mode stack command and saving the configuration.

If the stacked switches all reboot at approximately the same time, the Aggregator with the highest MAC address is automatically elected as the master switch. The Aggregator with the next highest MAC address is elected as the standby master.

  • NOTE: You can ensure that a stacked switch becomes the master by rebooting the switch first, and waiting for it to come up before rebooting the second switch in the stack. It is recommended to have the boot image for the stack units via boot from flash.

The Status LED on the Aggregator that is elected as the master switch is blue. Perform VLAN and other software configuration for the stack by connecting to the console port on the master unit. To determine which switch is the stack master, enter the show system command at the terminal.

To remove an Aggregator from the stack, enter the stack-unit 0 iom-mode standalone command in Global configuration mode, save the configuration and reload the Aggregator for the change to take effect.

In stack mode, all VLAN membership are removed and the port is assigned only to the default VLAN1. You must configure additional VLAN membership, as required.
