I have an X440 and an X460-G2. They are connected in a Ring Topology and seem to be successfully stacked after following the guide on Extreme’s site. However, only the switch that is the master (currently my X440) has connection. If I plug a computer into a port on the X460-G2 I get no link lights and no network connectivity. If I make the X460 the master the connection works, but all devices plugged into the X440 lose their connections. I can see both switches from my master, but can’t log in to the non-master switch as it just sits at AAA-pending. The only thing I can think of is that the X460 is on Edge Advanced license while the X440 is on Edge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the delay. After wiping both switches back to defaults again I updated them to the latest XOS that the X440 can support. Then after redoing all the stacking commands it seems to be working now. Thank you for your help with this.
I have them in a stack as I am going to move my NAS and VM hosts to 10-gig using the SPF+ on the 460-G2, but use the X440 for most of my regular 1-gig connections as it has more ports.

jveronese,
As mentioned by Stefan and in the steps provided:
2-All nodes should run same sw version and be configured to boot from the same partition.

Hello,
the X440 is running 16.2.2.4 and the X460-G2 is running 15.7.1.4. I would de-stack them and update them on the same firmware (newest 16.x firmware).
Best regards
Stefan

Oh, cool!
In this case the outputs of the following commands would be good to know.
show switch
show version
show stacking
show stacking configuration
