Switch Management Commands 2402
Default Configuration
By default, Ethernet ports are configured to operate in Ethernet mode. By
default, stacking ports are configured to operate in stacking mode. The
default port speed on the Dell EMC Networking
N2100/N2200/N3000E/N3100 Series stacking ports is 21 Gigabit. The default
speed on the Dell EMC Networking N2200 stacking ports is 40 Gigabit. The
default speed on the N3200 stacking ports is 2 × 50 Gigabit.
Command Mode
Stack Configuration mode
User Guidelines
This command is used to configure Ethernet ports to operate as either
stacking or Ethernet ports, or to configure stacking ports to operate as
Ethernet ports or stacking ports. A switch family supports only a subset of the
syntax options listed above. The stack-port command syntax only allows the
supported options for the relevant switch family.
Once this command has been issued, the switch must be rebooted in order for
the command to take effect. Issuing multiple stack-port commands for a
single interface without intervening reboots results in undefined behavior and
is not supported. Reboot the switch and examine the output of the show
switch stack-ports command to determine the active configuration. The clear
config command does not change the stacking port mode. Only the stack-
port command can change the operating mode of the stacking port and it
only takes effect after a reboot.
The stack-port configuration mode does not appear in the running config.
Use the show switch stack-port command to display configuration and status
of stacking ports. Ethernet ports that are configured to operate as stacking
ports will show as detached in the show interfaces status command output.
Use the show switch command to display information regarding the switches
in a stack. Redundant stacking links between any two units must operate at
the same speed. The available stacking speeds (and corresponding syntax)
varies depending on the switch model.
Up to eight stack ports can be configured per stacking unit (four in each
direction) on switches with more than two stacking ports.
