Troubleshooting a PE Stack

To troubleshoot the operation of a PE stack, use the following tasks.

Diagnosing an Error Condition

For debugging purposes, you can prevent the stack master from rebooting after a failover to allow you to
gather information on stack operation.
CONFIGURATION mode
redundancy disable-auto-reboot pe pe-id stack-unit unit-number
pe-id — port-extender identifier of the master unit. The range is 0 through 255.
Dell(conf)# redundancy disable-auto-reboot pe 2 stack-unit unit-number
NOTE:
The redundancy disable-auto-reboot pe command does not affect a forced failover,
manual reset, or a stack-link disconnect.

Using PE Console Commands

To debug an error condition in a PE stack, you can connect a console to the console port on the master unit
and enter PE console commands. Contact Dell Networking support for assistance. The supported PE console
commands are described in the C9000 Series Command-Line Reference Guide.

Splitting a Daisy-Chained PE Stack

If you split a PE stack in a daisy-chain topology into two sub-stacks and each sub-stack has a PE uplink to the
controlling bridge, the C9010 detects the stack split and generates an alarm. System administrator
intervention is required to diagnose and correct the split condition; for example, check cable connections or
reboot stack units to reactivate each PE stack.
