You stack the switch to get one single switch using this backplane cable. But you are missing one thing. Since it acts as a single switch, if the switchport that the FW is attached to goes down (for example SWA will die in the stack) then from the switch-perspective one stack-member is lost and all those switchports attached to it is down.

2) Access layer switch stacks located throughout building to ensure runs of less than 100m to clients. 3) The first and last switch in the stack ring have two uplinks each to the distribution layer. These are bundled into two etherchannels, if distribution layer is standalone; and a single multi chassis etherchannel, if distribution layer uses VSS.

If the switch stack does not contain a provisioned configuration for a new switch, the switch joins the stack with the default interface configuration. The switch stack then adds to its running configuration with a switch stack-member-number provision type global configuration command that matches the new switch.

Switch stacking is a feature of certain Cisco access layer switches (2960, 3750, 3850, etc) which allows for the creation of a single logical device from many individual devices via a backside stack port connected by a several stack cables.

2025年2月11日 · You are right from what i recall the cisco.ios.ios_facts returns the serial number of the active switch in a stack. So for you to get serial numbers of all stack members, you need to use the cisco.ios.ios_command and then you would need …

Switch stacking is the terminology used to combine one or more switch to work as a single logical switch. A stackable switch is a network switch that is fully functional operating standalone but which can also be set up to operate together with one or more other same model network switches, with this group of switches showing the characteristics of a single switch but having …

Also, there's quite a bit more to Flex Stack that people realize. Provisioning, Priority, Adding/Removing Members, etc. Stuff that you have to learn on the fly in production if you don't have access to Lab Hardware.

Please explain when they say if the stack is running in half bandwidth , what is that bandwidth referring to ? its a 2 stack switch and the port is down from switch 1 to siwtch 2, Please explain about the bandwidth . Stack1#sh switch stack-ring speed . Stack Ring Speed : 16G. Stack Ring Configuration: Half. Stack Ring Protocol : StackWise

2025年2月10日 · The MAC address of the Active Switch is used as the MAC address of the logical unit. This is the system (virtual) MAC address that is used for LACP, ARP etc. The Stack MAC address remains persistent even if Switch-2 was to become the Active Switch as shown below.
