Stack Extreme X460-G2-24-t-10GE4 with VIM-2SS

Hello Guys

I have two extreme switch X460-G2-24t-10GE4 with module Summit X460-G2 VIM-2SS.

When running stack command in both switch, both switch show me Master

Slot-1 Stack.3 # show stacking
Stack Topology is a Daisy-Chain
Active Topology is a Daisy-Chain
Node MAC Address Slot Stack State Role Flags
------------------ ---- ----------- ------- ---
*00:04:96?3d:XX 1 Active Master CA-
* - Indicates this node
Flags: (C) Candidate for this active topology, (A) Active Node
(O) node may be in Other active topology

In both switch run the following:

Firts Switch:

enable stacking node-address 00:04:96?3d:XX
conf stacking node-address 00:04:96?3d:XX slot-number 1
conf stacking node-address 00:04:96?3d:XX master-capability on
conf stacking node-address 00:04:96?3d:XX priority 70
conf stacking node-address mac-address 00:04:96?3d:XX
conf slot 1 module X460G2-24t-10G4
save

Second Switch

enable stacking node-address 00:04:96?3d:YY
conf stacking node-address 00:04:96?3d:80 slot-number 2
conf stacking node-address 00:04:96?3d:80 master-capability on
conf stacking node-address 00:04:96?3d:80 priority 60
conf stacking node-address mac-address 00:04:96?3d:YY
conf slot 1 module X460G2-24t-10G4
save

Is possible your help with the configuration of Stack?

Regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

have you properly connected both X460-G2 with a stacking cable? Can you provide the output of the command “show stacking config”?

Kind regards

Christian

Switch 1 has no config telling it which MAC switch 2 has and vice versa. If this is a new setup, use the easy setup command described here:

https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/How-to-create-stack-with-Summit-X460-48p-and-Summit-X460-24p

If you have an EXOS of 22.6 or later, it may have a new type of stacking method called ZTP stacking:

“Automation for Adding/Replacing Stack Nodes

A new automated process allows you to easily add or replace nodes in a stack. This automation performs the following tasks in a stack:

Adds New Nodes—When new switches are attached to an existing stack, adds those switches to the stack without manual configuration.
Incompatible ExtremeXOS Check—Checks for and resolves incompatible ExtremeXOS software versions of stack nodes.
License Mismatch Check—Checks for and resolves software license mismatches between all master- capable nodes.

Supported Platforms

Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, X770, and ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X590, X620, X690, X870 series switches.

Limitations

Except for the Summit X450-G2 and X460-G2 with VIM2-SS modules, all switches require that you configure stacking on the stacking ports manually (configure stackingsupport stack- port [stack-ports | all] selection [native {V80 | V160} | V320 |V400} | alternate]).
License mismatches due to installing feature licenses cannot be automatically resolved. The node is left in the failed state.”

Hello

I configure module VIM-2ss in native mode with stack-ports all selection native but ever show me both Switch in Master Role.

Also running easy-setup and the problem persist.

Now when change to Alternative the stacking is available.

I think the module is not compatible because I test in other switch x460-G2 and have the same problem.

Any idea.

Regards

Sebastian

If I understand this article correctly, it should work:

https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/Solution/X460-G2-will-not-allow-native-stacking-to-be-enabled

Open a TAC case if possible.
