Daisy Chain

If you issue the show stacking command and see that the stack topology is a daisy chain, you must resolve the problem before the stack will function properly.

Here is a sample CLI output from show stacking showing that the stack is in a daisy chain.

 # show stacking
Stack Topology is a Daisy-Chain
This node is not in an Active Topology
Node MAC Address     Slot  Stack State  Role     Flags
------------------   ----  -----------  -------   ---
*00:04:96:7d:fc:9a    -    Disabled      Master   ---

To solve a daisy-chain problem, follow these steps:

Ensure that each stack node meets the following conditions:
Wait for all stack nodes to finish booting and get through AAA login.
Enter show stacking to verify that all stack nodes are connected in a ring topology.
Check that the stacking port LEDs show as active on all nodes.
Reconnect the stacking cables.
