Table 20: List of Stacking Terms (continued)
Term Description
Operational node A node that has achieved operational state as a card in a slot. The
operational state can be displayed using the show slot {slot
{detail} | detail }command.
System uptime The amount of time that has passed since the last node role election. You
can display the system uptime by entering the show switch
{detail } command on the master node.
Stack segment A collection of nodes that form a stack topology. The term is useful when
a stack is severed. Each severed portion of the stack is referred to as a
stack segment.
Stack state A state assigned by the stack to a node. You can display the stack state by
entering the show stacking command.
Easy Setup A procedure that automatically configures the essential stacking
parameters on every node for initial stack deployment, and then
automatically reboots the stack to put the parameters into eect.
The choice to run Easy Setup is oered when you run the enable
stacking {node-address node-address} command and the
essential stacking parameters are unconfigured or inconsistent. It can also
be invoked directly by running the configure stacking easy-
setup command.
Planning to Create Your Stack
Use the information in the following topics to plan the physical makeup of your stack – switches,
versatile interface modules (VIMs), and cables – and the stacking protocols you will use. Included are:
• Guidelines and other information for each switch model in your stack
• Considerations for combining
dierent switch models in a stack
• Information about stacking cables
Enabling and Disabling the Stacking-Support Option
The stacking-support option is enabled by default for many switch and option card configurations.
However, some configurations require you to enable the stacking-support option before a switch can
participate in a stack.
• To enable stacking-support, issue the enable stacking-support command.
You must enable stacking-support individually for every switch in the stack that does not have
stacking support enabled by default.
• To disable stacking support,
configure the switch data ports to use the Ethernet protocol instead of
the stacking protocol.
Use the disable stacking-support command.
