show stacking-support

Description

This command displays the configured and current states of configuration options configured on the local node with the stacking-support keyword.

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or variables.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

The display parameters are described in the following table:
Display ItemDescription

Stack Port column

Displays rows for Stack Port 1 and Stack Port 2.

Native column

Indicates whether the switch has native stack ports. A Yes entry indicates that the switch has native stacking ports. A No entry indicates that no native stacking ports are present.

An asterisk indicates that the native stack port is selected.

Alternate column

Displays the port numbers for data ports that can operate as alternate stack ports. A No entry indicates that there are no data ports that can operate as alternate stacking ports.

An asterisk indicates that the data port number is selected as an alternate stack port.

Configured column

Indicates the configured state for stack ports 1 and 2, which can be Native or Alternate.

This column also indicates the configured state of stacking-support option. For platform configurations with dual-purpose hardware (that supports stack ports or data ports), this column displays either Enabled (stack ports enabled) or Disabled (stack ports disabled, data ports active). For platform configurations without dual-purpose hardware, this column displays N/A, which indicates that stacking-support option cannot be disabled on this switch.

This is the configuration that becomes active the next time the switch boots if the stacking-support option is enabled.

For more information, see the command descriptions for the enable stacking-support and disable stacking-support commands.

Current column

Indicates the selection that is currently in effect for stack ports, which can be Native, Alternate, or N/A. N/A indicates that the port selection is not applicable to this switch hardware configuration.

The column also indicates the current operating state of the stacking-support option, which can be Enabled, Disabled, or N/A. An N/A entry indicates that no option card is present.

This is the configuration that is active now.

Example

The following example shows the stack port selection and stacking-support option configuration after the unconfigure stacking-support command has been executed and before a subsequent reboot has been initiated:

# show stacking-support
Stacking Support Settings
Stack    Available Ports
Port    Native  Alternate  Configured  Current
-----   -----------------  ----------  ----------
1       Yes *   23         Native      Native
2       Yes     24 *       Native      Alternate
stacking-support:          Disabled    Enabled
auto-discovery:            Enabled     Disabled
Flags: * - Current stack port selection
NOTE: This node must be rebooted before the configured settings will
take effect.

The following example shows that the stacking-support option is disabled and will remain disabled when the switch reboots:

# show stacking-support
Stacking Support Settings
Stack    Available Ports
Port    Native  Alternate  Configured  Current
-----   -----------------  ----------  ----------
1       No      S3         Native      N/A
2       No      S4         Native      N/A
stacking-support:          Disabled    Disabled
auto-discovery:            Enabled     Enabled
Flags: * - Current stack port selection
The following example shows the configured and current pseudo native stack port type:
# show stacking-support
 
Stack    Available Ports
Port    Native  Alternate  Configured     Current
-----   -----------------  -------------  -------------
1       Yes *   47         Native (V160)  Native (V80)
2       Yes *   48         Native         Native (V320)  
stacking-support:          Enabled        Enabled
auto-discovery:            Enabled        Enabled        
 
Flags: * - Current stack port selection

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 12.5.

Ability to show configured and current pseudo native stack port type (V160, V320, V400) was added in ExtremeXOS 30.1.

The V80 option was removed in ExtremeXOS 30.2.

Stacking auto-discovery information was added in ExtremeXOS 30.3.

Platform Availability

This command is available on all platforms that support alternate stack port selection or permit disabling of the stacking-support option.
