Configure Stacking EXOS (Extreme Networks)

Configure Stacking in ExtremeOS

EXOS version 21.1.2.14 (X450 Switches)

*NOTE -  Enabling stacking will wipe your configuration.  I have started enabling stacking on all switches from the beginning to future-proof growing switch configurations.    

The easiest was to enable stacking:

Step 1 - do a "show version" on all of the switches.  All will need to be on the same version.

Step 2 - Make sure all switches are on the same partition.

Step 3- Make sure Stacking cables are connected.. they are 40Gig QSPF+ ports... We got our "stacking cables" from FS.com for about 1/4 of the price of the Extreme Networks stacking cables.

*****Make sure every switch is on the SAME FIRMWARE and the SAME PARTITION.

This will wipe any configuration you have on the switches and enable stacking after a reboot. you will be left with a default config.

 you should be able to do "show stacking" to see what switches are configured.

If everything went well you should see all of the switches showing a "Active" state.  If not check the version off all your switches.. also make sure you have stacking lights on the back of your switches.
