Dell Networking N4032 User Manual

15 Stacking Dell Networking Switches: N4032, N4032F, N4064, N4064F
Connect power to all switches to be stacked. Performing the command show switch stack-ports will
provide information on the unit number for the switch, which is used in the stacking commands. It also
shows Interfaces of the switch that may be used for stacking and whether they are in Ethernet or Stacking
mode.

The example above shows a Dell N4032F with a QSFP+ two-port expansion module installed. The two
40G QSFP+ ports are represented by interfaces F01/1/1 and F01/1/2 . We will use these two interfaces for
stacking in the example below.
Notice that Configured Stack Mode and the Running Stack Mode are currently both Ethernet. Perform the
following commands to convert each desired port to Stack mode.
console#config
console(config)#stack
console(config-stack)#stack-port fortygigabitethernet 1/1/1 stack
console(config-stack)#stack-port fortygigabitethernet 1/1/2 stack
