Changes To Stack-Port And Stack-Trunk Configuration; General Comparison Of The New And Old Behaviors In Configuring Stacking Ports And Trunks - Arris Ruckus ICX 7850 Series Configuration Manual

Fastiron stacking configuration

Table of Contents

In all releases, when you enter the stack enable command, the system checks all stacking ports to make sure they contain no

configuration. If any configuration is present, the stack enable command is denied.

Changes to stack-port and stack-trunk

configuration

Beginning with FastIron 08.0.90, using the stack-port and stack-trunk commands to configure stacking ports and trunks

eliminates the following restrictions that were present in previous configuration methods.

A stacking trunk had to be built on top of a stacking port. Without stack-port configuration, you could not add stack-

trunk configuration. Both the stack-port and the stack-trunk configuration represented the stack-trunk.

In releases prior to FastIron 08.0.90, the command no stack-trunk changed a stacking trunk to its underlying stack-port;

it did not remove all ports from the stacking trunk.

A stack-port configuration could contain one or two stack-ports. If you re-entered the stack-port command with only

one of the original two ports, the other port was removed.

To configure stacking ports or stacking trunks that did not use the factory-set stacking ports, you first had to configure

different default ports (choosing from those available) using the stack default-ports command.

The following sections provide more detailed comparison of new behavior and old behavior. All examples are based on ICX 7750

ports.

General comparison of the new and old behaviors in configuring

stacking ports and trunks

The following table provides a side-by-side comparison of stacking port and stacking trunk configuration basics in FastIron

08.0.90 (New behavior) and prior releases (Old behavior). The new behavior uses one command per stack-port or stack-trunk.
