Missing "enable stacking"

Hi,

I have two X650 switches and I want to build a stack. So I connect the two nodes by the stacking cables and try to run the easy setup. But the command "enable stacking" isn't available.

Version: 12.6.2.10-patch1-15

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks

not sure if you need a Core license to stack them up. I would check that first (from Arpit_Bhatt)

Stacking does not require a core license. You may wish to check your bootloaders on each stack member and also try running the built-in diagnostics (run diagnostics extended) to see if everything is as it should be. I'm not sure of anything else that could interfere with the availability of the command. (from Ansley_Barnes)

Check to see if enhanced stacking is enabled on both switches. The 650 comes standard with standard stacking.

Hi,

sorry about the delay.
I did run "run diagnostic extented", but there are no errors.
I can't run a command to show me the stacking-protcol, because the "sh stacking" commands are missing too. 😞

thank you.

best regards

Can you do a show tech capture the output and upload the file?

Hi Falk,

Have you run the command

Configure stacking easy-setup

first? Enable Stacking and show stacking, if I remember correctly will only 'show up' as commands after you've run the above command first and then rebooted when prompted. (from Shaun_Kent)
