enable stacking-support
Description
Syntax Description
This command does not have additional syntax.
Default
Stacking support is disabled by default for all platforms, except for the ExtremeSwitching X450-G2 and X465 series switches, which have dedicated stacking ports that are always enabled.
Usage Guidelines
The Stacking-Support Option Control column in ExtremeSwitching Series Switch Support for Alternate Stack Ports displays Yes in the rows for switch configurations for which you can enable the stacking-support option.
After you enable the stacking-support option, you must reboot the switch to activate the configuration change.
If you enable the stacking-support option on a switch and reboot, data communications on the data ports listed in ExtremeSwitching Series Switch Support for Alternate Stack Ports stops, and the ports use stacking protocols instead of Ethernet protocols.
Example
To enable the stack ports, enter the following command:
# enable stacking-support This setting will take effect at the next reboot of this switch.
History
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 12.2.
