Chapter 13: Stacking
233
Stacking Requirements
Before
Enterprise
NOS
switches
can
form
a
stack,
they
must
meet
the
following
requirements:
Switches
in
a
hybrid
stack
must
be
of
the
model
CN4093
10
Gb
Converged
Scalable
Switch
or
EN4093R
10Gb
Scalable
Switch.
In
a
hybrid
stack,
the
EN4093R
switches
cannot
act
as
Backup
switches.
You
must
use
only
the
CN4093
10Gb
Converged
Scalable
switches
as
the
Master
switch
and
Backup
switch.
In
a
hybrid
stack,
only
two
CN4093
10Gb
Converged
Scalable
switches
can
be
grouped
with
the
EN4093R
switches.
Each
switch
must
be
installed
with
ENOS,
version
8.4.
Please
see
.
The
recommended
stacking
topology
is
a
bidirectional
ring
(see
To
achieve
this,
two
10Gb
or
two
40
Gb
Ethernet
ports
on
each
switch
must
be
reserved
for
stacking.
By
default,
10Gb
Ethernet
ports
EXT1
and
EXT2
are
used.
Stack
with
only
CN4093
switches
supports
stack
LAG
links
that
can
be
configured
as
follows:
Stack
of
two
units:
Maximum
of
two
10Gb
ports
or
two
40
Gb
ports.
Omni
ports
cannot
be
used
as
stack
LAG
links.
You
cannot
combine
10Gb
ports
with
40Gb
ports
in
the
stack
LAGs.
An
LACP
port
cannot
be
a
stack
LAG
member.
If
you
need
to
use
the
port
in
the
stack
LAG,
you
must
first
set
the
LACP
port
mode
to
off
(
CN 4093(config-if)#
lacp mode off
).
The
cables
used
for
connecting
the
switches
in
a
stack
carry
low
‐
level,
inter
‐
switch
communications
as
well
as
cross
‐
stack
data
traffic
critical
to
shared
switching
functions.
Always
maintain
the
stability
of
stack
links
to
avoid
internal
stack
reconfiguration.
Stacking Limitations
The
CN4093
with
ENOS
8.4
can
operate
in
one
of
two
modes:
Default
mode,
which
is
the
regular
stand
‐
alone
(or
non
‐
stacked)
mode.
Stacking
mode,
in
which
multiple
physical
switches
aggregate
functions
as
a
single
switching
device.
When
in
stacking
mode,
the
following
stand
‐
alone
features
are
not
supported:
Border
Gateway
Protocol
(BGP)
Ethernet
Operation,
Administration
and
Maintenance
(OAM)
Internet
Group
Management
Protocol
version
3
(IGMPv3)
Internet
Group
Management
Protocol
(IGMP)
Querier
Internet
Group
Management
Protocol
(IGMP)
Relay
Internet
Key
Exchange
version
2
(IKEv2)
