A4H124 former stack ports not available

[crodrigl]

Hello,

I have recently replaced a SecureStack A4H124 stack member: removed a 24 port unit and replaced with a 48 port one (both were A4H124-xxP).

Now, ports 25 & 26 (which were the stack ports in the 24 port unit) are not available in the 48 port unit, and cannot find a way to “activate” them again.

¿Any idea of what to do to restore these ports to ethernet mode?

The stack is working fine otherwise, but having 2 missing ports in the middle of a switch is a bit error-prone.

Regards

I didn’t issue any command to remove the old unit… just followed this simple procedure:

What is the command? Is it ok to remove the unit and add it again?

It looks you only replaced the unit without removing (via command) the old unit first?

Sure, here it is:

DVSWA410(su)->show port status fe.3.24-27
          Alias        Oper    Admin   Speed
Port      (truncated)  Status  Status  (bps)     Duplex  Type
--------- ------------ ------- ------- --------- ------- ------------
fe.3.24                Down    Up      N/A       N/A     BaseT RJ45/PoE
fe.3.27                Up      Up      100.0M    full    BaseT RJ45/PoE

Ports 25-26 are missing… trying to show status of only these two ports results in an error:

DVSWA410(su)->show port status fe.3.25-26
Invalid Port in [port-string].

I can post the entire port list, but it is the same, just much longer

Could you share the output of “show port status”? That should help troubleshoot this issue. If you’d rather share that with me directly, please feel free to email it to me at community@extremenetworks.com.
