To instantly create a stack, onboard the switches into ExtremeCloud IQ using the
ExtremeCloud IQ mobile app. Unbox the switches, connect the stacking/power/uplink
cables, and push the
Mode button until the
STK LED lights up.
Hold down the
Mode button for at least 5 seconds, until all the front-panel port
LEDs flash. The stack forms automatically, all the slots reboot, and ExtremeCloud IQ
detects the newly formed stack.
Note
In Switch Engine or EXOS, if you are replacing a failed stack member with the
same model switch, the replacement slot is handled with the
Replace Stack
Members action. On X440-G2 /5320/5420/5520 stacks, select the
stack, and select the
Replace Stack Members action within
Utilities. Select
the member, enter the serial number, and select
Replace.
Use this task to instantly configure a Switch Engine stack in
ExtremeCloud IQ.
