IronStack troubleshooting
1. Enter the show run command on each unit to make sure the configuration contains “stack
enable”. If it does not, enter the stack enable command on the unit. Before a stack is formed,
you can still access the console port on each device. Once a stack is successfully formed, you
are redirected to the Active Controller.
NOTE
If you are building a stack using secure-setup, you do not have to enter stack enable on each
unit.
2. Check that all of your stacking port connections are secure and working properly. Enter the
show interface stack on each device to confirm that the stacking port links are up and the
ports are in the forward state.
Brocade# show interfaces stack
Port Link State Dupl Speed Trunk Tag P MAC Name
1/2/1 Up Forward Full 10G None No 1 0012.f2eb.a902
1/2/2 Up Forward Full 10G None No 1 0012.f2eb.a904
3. Confirm that all of the devices are running the same software image
4. Use the show log command to display any IPC version mismatch messages. These messages
appear in one minute when receiving mismatched probe packets, and then once every 10
minutes.
5. Use the show stack ipc command to see if any traffic has been sent or received. Enter clear
stack ipc to clear the traffic statistics and then enter show stack ipc again so you can easily
see differences in traffic flow. The following output is from a Brocade ICX 6610 switch.
