Automation for Adding/Replacing Stack Nodes

A new automated process allows you to easily add or replace nodes in a stack.

This automation performs the following tasks in a stack:
  • Adds New Nodes—When new switches are attached to an existing stack, adds those switches to the stack without manual configuration.
  • Incompatible ExtremeXOS Check—Checks for and resolves incompatible ExtremeXOS software versions of stack nodes.
  • License Mismatch Check—Checks for and resolves software license mismatches between all master-capable nodes.

Supported Platforms

Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, X770, and ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X590, X620, X690, X870 series switches.

Limitations

  • Except for the Summit X450-G2 and X460-G2 with VIM2-SS modules, all switches require that you configure stacking on the stacking ports manually (configure stackingsupport stack-port [stack-ports | all] selection [native {V80 | V160} | V320 |V400} | alternate]).
  • License mismatches due to installing feature licenses cannot be automatically resolved. The node is left in the failed state.
