Connecting ICX 6450 and ICX 6430 devices in a stack
up ports: 1/2/1, 1/2/2, 1/2/3, 1/2/4, 1/2/5
up ports: 1/2/6, 1/2/7, 1/2/8, 1/2/9, 1/2/10
4 up (4/2/1-4/2/5) up (4/2/6-4/2/10)
up ports: 4/2/1, 4/2/2, 4/2/3, 4/2/4, 4/2/5
up ports: 4/2/6, 4/2/7, 4/2/8, 4/2/9, 4/2/10
5 up (5/2/1-5/2/5) up (5/2/6-5/2/10)
up ports: 5/2/1, 5/2/2, 5/2/3, 5/2/4, 5/2/5
up ports: 5/2/6, 5/2/7, 5/2/8, 5/2/9, 5/2/10
NOTE
A 4x10G port consists of four sub-ports and the show stack-port command displays all
sub-ports. So ports 1/2/2-1/2/5 in the previous code example are sub-ports of port 1/2/2
and 1/2/7-1/2/10 are sub-ports of 1/2/7.
NOTE
For field descriptions for the show stack command, refer to “Displaying stack information” on
page 293.
8. Enter the write memory command on the Active Controller once all of the stack units are
active. This command initiates configuration synchronization, which copies the configuration
file of the Active Controller to the rest of the stack units.
NOTE
The secure-setup process may modify your configuration with information about new units,
stacking ports, and so on. For this reason, it is very important to save this information by
issuing the write memory command. If you do not do this, you may lose your configuration
information the next time the stack reboots.
The secure-setup process for your stack is now complete.
NOTE
During the secure-setup process, after one minute of inactivity, authentication for stack members
will expire and you will need to restart the process.
Scenario 2 - Three-member IronStack
in a ring topology using the automatic setup process
FCX devices determine stacking port candidates through the default-port setting. An FCX stackable
device with the default port configuration is still considered a clean unit. To ensure that the device
remains a clean unit, do not do a write memory on the device.
For more detailed information about configuring an FCX IronStack, refer to “FCX IronStack
configuration” on page 258.
