  • Page 140 Roles Within the Stack Using Saved Slot Information If a stack with preassigned slot information for each switch is booted, the switch with the second lowest slot value is assigned the secondary management role. For example, if a stack of four switches is booted and the preassigned slot values for each switch are 1, 2, 3, and 4, the switch with the slot value of 2 is assigned the secondary role.

  • Page 141: Idle Module Role

    Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks Idle Module Role Switches that are not assigned either the primary or secondary role in a stack are, by default, assigned the role of idle modules. These idle modules operate similarly to Network Interface (NI) modules in a chassis- based switch such as the OmniSwitch 9700/9800.

  • Page 142: Pass-Through Mode

    Roles Within the Stack Pass-Through Mode The pass-through mode is a state in which a switch has attempted to join a stack but has been denied primary, secondary, and idle status. When a switch is in the pass-through mode, its Ethernet are brought down (i.e, they cannot pass traffic).

  • Page 143: Recovering From Pass-Through Mode (Duplicate Slot Numbers)

    Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks To avoid a pass-through condition following a reboot, make sure that all saved slot values for the stack are unique. Use the stack set slot slot 3 from 2 to 3: -> stack set slot 3 saved-slot 2 Use the show stack topology command to verify the change:...
  • Page 144 Roles Within the Stack To resolve this pass-through condition, simply assign slot 1001 a new saved slot value and reboot the module. This can be done in either of two ways: Use the stack set slot command to assign the new value, then use the •...
  • Page 145 Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks In some pass-through conditions (for example, larger stacks where multiple switches are in pass-through mode), it might be desirable to correct any duplicate saved slot assignments and then reboot the entire stack. The recovery from pass-through can be accomplished with fewer steps than reassigning slot numbers and rebooting modules on a slot-by-slot basis.

  • Page 146: Stack Cabling

    Stack Cabling Stack Cabling Switches in a stack are connected to each other by stacking cables. The valid cable lengths are 1.5m (4.9 feet), 60cm (23.6 inches), and 30cm (11.8 inches). These stacking cables provide high-speed, dual-redun- dant links between switches in a stack. Stacking cables for OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches can be connected in any pattern.

  • Page 147: Redundant Stacking Cable Connection

    Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks Redundant Stacking Cable Connection OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches allow redundant stacking cable connections between the top-most and bottom-most switches in a stack. Important. For a stacked configuration to have effective redundancy, a redundant stacking cable must be installed between the upper-most and bottom-most switch in the chassis at all times.

  • Page 148: Checking Redundant Stacking Cable Status

    Stack Cabling Redundant stacking cables provide a form of dual redundancy. As shown in the figure above, the redun- dant cable allows traffic to flow in the event of a stacking link failure. The redundant cable also provides failover if a switch goes down within the stack. Traffic continues to flow between the modules that remain operational, as shown in the diagram below: Stacking Cables Slot 1...

  • Page 149: Slot Numbering

    Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks Slot Numbering For a stack of OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches to operate as a virtual chassis, each module in the stack must be assigned a unique slot number. To view the current slot assignments for a stack, use the show module commands.

  • Page 150: Dynamic Slot Number Assignment

    Slot Numbering Dynamic Slot Number Assignment Dynamic slot number assignment occurs when there are no boot.slot.cfg files present in the switches’ /flash directories. This is the case for new, “out of the box,” switches that have not been previously booted. When a brand new stack (or stack with no boot.slot.cfg files) is booted, the system software automatically detects the module with the lowest MAC address.
  • Page 151 Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks If the switch with the lowest MAC address happens to be the bottom-most module in the stack, slot numbering will not resume from the top of the stack. Instead, the system software will select the second- ary module using the standard method (i.e., the switch connected to the primary’s stacking port A), then continue to number the stack from the bottom up.

  • Page 152: Manual Slot Number Assignment

    Slot Numbering Manual Slot Number Assignment To manually assign slot numbers to one or more modules in a stack, use the command writes slot information to the boot.slot.cfg file located in a switch’s /flash directory. It is this saved slot information that the switch will assume following a reboot. Manually assigning slot numbers can be useful in reordering existing slot numbers in order to create a sequential numbering scheme from the top of the stack to the bottom (or vice-versa).

  • Page 153: Reverting To The Dynamic Slot Numbering Model

    Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks When the stack comes up following the reboot, the manually-configured slot numbers display as follows: Slot 1 - Primary Slot 2 - Secondary Slot 3 - Idle Slot 4 - Idle Slot 5 - Idle Slot 6 - Idle Slot 7 - Idle Slot 8 - Idle...

  • Page 154: Hot-Swapping Modules In A Stack

    Make sure all switches are running the same software version. • Note. Other stackable Alcatel-Lucent products, such as the OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch, cannot be added to an OmniSwitch 6850 Series virtual chassis. To avoid duplicate slot numbers, simply make sure that any modules being added to an existing stack have been cleared of preassigned slot information.

  • Page 155: Merging Stacks

    Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks Merging Stacks Merging stacks involves connecting two or more operational stacks and attempting to reboot them as a single virtual chassis. In most cases, errors will result. To merge stacks without causing errors, select one stack that is to remain up and running and then add modules from the other stack(s) by following the steps below: Make sure all switches are running the same software version.

  • Page 156: Reloading Switches

    Reloading Switches Reloading Switches Reloading is essentially a soft boot of a switch. Users can reload stacked modules operating in any role— i.e., primary, secondary, idle, and pass-through. Refer to the sections below for more information. Reloading the Primary Management Module If the switch with the primary management role is reloaded, the switch with the secondary role automati- cally takes over primary management functions.

  • Page 160: Reloading Switches With Idle Roles

    Reloading Switches Reloading Switches with Idle Roles Similar to reloading Network Interface (NI) modules on chassis-based switches such as the OmniSwitch 9700/9800, modules operating in idle status within a stack can be reloaded via the CLI. Note. Any traffic being passed on the module’s Ethernet will be interrupted during the reboot. Other modules within the stack will continue to operate without interruption.

  • Page 161: Reloading All Switches In A Stack

    Managing OmniSwitch 6850 Series Stacks Reloading All Switches in a Stack Reloading all switches in the stack is essentially a full reboot of the virtual chassis. This can be useful in restoring a stack’s previously configured topology—i.e., the stack’s saved slot numbers and management roles.
  • Page 162 Reloading Switches No Switches In the Stack Have Saved Slot Information If a full reload is issued and no switches in the stack have unique slot numbers, slot numbers will be assigned beginning with the switch with the lowest MAC address. (This can occur if the boot.slot.cfg file has been deleted from each switch’s /flash directory—e.g., by issuing the modules in the stack.) The switch with the lowest MAC address is assigned slot number 1 and given the primary management...

    Changing the Secondary Module to Primary Changing the Secondary Module to Primary OmniSwitch 6850 Series stacks allow users to manually force the secondary switch to assume the primary management role. This is referred to as “takeover.” The behavior of a takeover is similar to that of reload- ing the primary management module (see Whenever a takeover is initiated, the switch with the secondary role automatically takes over primary management functions.

    Synchronizing Switches in a Stack Synchronizing Switches in a Stack Management module synchronization refers to the process of copying all files in the /flash/working and /flash/certified directories of the primary management module to the /flash/working and /flash/certified directories of all the other switches in the stack. The system and configuration software on the non- primary switches—i.e., the secondary management module and any modules operating in idle—is over- written.
