Push Button Automatic Stacking for ExtremeSwitching X465 Series Switches

This feature is aimed at zero-touch customers who want to deploy stacking in remote sites. You can now ship switches to remote sites and have a local (non-technical) installer mount the switches in the rack, attach the power cables, and connect the stacking cables. The installer will then press the mode button to initiate the automatic stacking sequence. After stacking is complete, the switches can be provisioned and managed remotely using a cloud connection. You can set up stacks of 1 to 8 nodes.

Supported Platforms

ExtremeSwitching X465 series switches.

Limitations

The following are limitations of this feature:

• To use automatic stacking, each switch must have the factory default configuration.
• License mismatches due to installing feature licenses cannot be resolved automatically. The applicable node is left in the failed state.
• Extended Edge Switching is not supported.
