This command provides an easy way to initially configure the stacking parameters of all nodes in a new stack.
This command does not have additional syntax.
N/A.
Informs you of the stacking parameters that will be set.
Informs you of the number of nodes that will be configured.
Informs you whether minimal or no redundancy will be configured, and which slot will contain the master node.
Informs you of the slot number that will be assigned to the node on which your management session is being run.
If applicable, warns you that the current configuration file changes will be lost and you need to save the files.
If the stack topology is a daisy chain, warns you that you should wire the stack as a ring before running this command.
Enables stacking on all nodes.
Configures the stacking MAC address using the factory address of the current node.
Configures a slot number for each node.
Configures redundancy to minimal in a ring topology or none in a daisy chain topology.
Configures the stacking protocol.
Reboots the stack topology.
Selects the enhanced stacking protocol.
Stacking is enabled as if the enable stacking {node-address node-address} command was issued.
The stack mac-address is configured as if the configure stacking mac-address was issued on the current node.
Stack slot numbers are assigned as if the configure stacking slot-number automatic command was issued on the current node.
On a daisy chain topology, the master-capability is configured as if the configure stacking redundancy none command was issued. On a ring topology, the master-capability is configured as if the configure stacking redundancy minimal command was issued.
If you choose not to proceed with the setup, the following message is displayed:
Cancelled easy stack setup configuration.If you have an 8-node stack in a ring topology and have powered on all the nodes, the show stacking command shows the stack topology as a ring with all intended nodes present. If you have not changed any ExtremeXOS configuration, the command displays as follows:
* Switch.30 # configure stacking easy-setup For every node in the 8-node stack, this command will: - enable stacking - configure a stack MAC address - choose and configure a slot number (this node will be assigned to slot 1) - configure redundancy to minimal (slot 1 will be the Master node) Upon completion, the stack will automatically be rebooted into the new configuration. Warning: If stacking is already configured, this command will alter that configuration. Warning: There are unsaved configuration changes. You may wish to save them before proceeding. Do you wish to proceed? (y/N) y Stacking configuration is complete. Rebooting...
If the 8-node stack topology is a daisy chain, and the user is logged into a node in the middle of the chain, the command output might appear as follows:
* Switch.30 # configure stacking easy-setup For every node in the 8-node stack, this command will: - enable stacking - configure a stack MAC address - choose and configure a slot number (this node will be assigned to slot 5) - configure redundancy to none (slot 1 will be the master node) Upon completion, the stack will automatically be rebooted into the new configuration. Warning: If stacking is already configured, this command will alter that configuration. Warning: This stack is a daisy chain. It is highly recommended that the stack be connected as a ring before running this command. Do you wish to proceed? (y/N) Yes Stacking configuration is complete. Rebooting...
