Hello,

i want to know the part number of the stacking cable for stscking the 2 switch which is x450 g2 using the summitstack-v84.

Also i need the cli commands to create the stack for these two switches.

thanks.

Hi,

You might see relevant part numbers in the data sheet: https://cloud.kapostcontent.net/pub/6f346f0e-30e3-452c-86cd-56795f6a1a65/x450-g2-data-sheet.pdf
10311/10312/10313/10323 - QSFP+ passive copper cables of length 0.5/1/3/5 meters,
10336/10337/10315/10316/10318 - QSFP+ active optical cables of length 3/5/10/20/100 meters.
For longer distances you might need QSFP+ modules and a patchcord.

Regarding stacking, here you might see the general procedure:

Hi Tomasz,

Thank you for providing the helpful links. Another question, if I use the 10G ports on the front panel of the switch for stacking, what SFP modules and cables I need.

Thanks.

You could find the information in the datasheet....

SUMMITSTACK-V ? Flexible Stacking Over 10 Gigabit Ethernet ExtremeXOS support s the SummitStack-V capabilit y using 2 of the native 10 GbE port s on the faceplate as stacking port s, enabling the use of standard cabling and optics technologies used for 10 GbE SFP+. SummitStack-V provides long-distance stacking connectivit y of up to 40 km while reducing the cable complexit y of implementing a stacking solution. SummitStack-V is compatible with X440 -G2, X450 -G2 and X460 -G2 switches with 10 Gb uplinks, as well as X480 , X670 , X670V, X670 -G2 and X770 switches. SummitStack-V enabled 10 GbE port s must be physically direct-connected with all switches running the same version of ExtremeXOS.

Exactly, any SFP 'insertible' that is supported by EXOS switch and firmware can be used for stacking.

Kind regards,
Tomasz
