Stacking Commands

Overview

Stacking is supported on an Aggregator only on the 40GbE ports on the base module. Stacking is
limited to two Aggregators in the same chassis in a single stack. Up to three stacks are supported in an
M1000e chassis.
Stacking provides a single point of management and NIC teaming for high availability and higher
throughput. To configure an Aggregator stack, you must use the CLI.
The stacking commands are always available and operational, whether or not an Aggregator has a
stacking module inserted. You can use the commands to pre-configure an Aggregator, so that the
configuration settings are invoked when the Aggregator is attached to other Aggregator blades.
For more information about using the Aggregator stacking feature, refer to the "Stacking Aggregators"
chapter in the Dell Force10 Configuration Guide for the M I/O Aggregator.
