Testing methods when moving from x450 g1 to x450 g2

Hi all,

existing stack 450g1 running xos 15.3.5.2
new stack 450g2 running xos 22.5.1.7

Our config is dead simple; vLANS and some routes.

A basic copy paste between the two stacks seems to be ok, but I would like to test the new stack with minimal administrative effort.

I was going to try and set the new 450g2s to a different IP but i get the error message below

code:

configure vlan servers ipaddress 192.168.100.19

Configuration failed on backup Node, command execution aborted!

Here is what is configured.

code:

Slot-1 SW-UNO.1 # show iproute
Ori  Destination        Gateway         Mtr  Flags         VLAN       Duration
#s   Default Route      192.168.100.1   1    UG---S-um--f- servers    3d:0h:38m:33s

Any thoughts? What am I missing?

I am still working through the manual but its 1800 pages so... its going to be a while.

One quick thing you forgot to do is specify a subnet mask in your command. The proper command should be:

code:

configure servers ipaddress [ip_address] [subnet_mask]

If servers already has an IP address on it, the original one will have to be removed via

code:

unconfigure servers ipaddress

and then configured via the first command.

Thanks

code:

I rebooted the stack and the second part of the message.

code:

Error: Can't change primary IP Address. Please unconfig the Primary IP address on VLAN first

In that case, you'll have to remove the servers vlan ipaddress via

code:

unconfigure servers ipaddress

and then configure via

code:

configure servers ipaddress [ip_address] [subnet_mask]

Thanks
