Dell Powerconnect 6224 switches not stacking

2013-01-20 by Rasmus Haslund 1 Comment

Last week I was on-site with a customer to install two Dell Powerconnect 6224 switches for use with an EqualLogic SAN.

The stack was not configured automatically. I used command show stack-port
show_stack_port_10_gigabit

For some reason the switch detected the stacking modules as 10 Gigabit modules.

Fortunately the CLI reference guide has the commands to configure this properly.

Here are the commands I used to change the ports from Ethernet to Stack mode:
configure_stack

 

 

 

 

enable
configure
stack
stack-port 1/xg1 stack
stack-port 1/xg2 stack

I then used the show stack-port command again to verify the result:
show_stack_port_stack

As always, if this helped you – please leave a comment 🙂

IMHO I prefer not use stacking for the iSCSI part. Of course make easy the configuration, but create a big possible issue on how handle switches firmware upgrade (all stack members are upgraded in the same time causing an APD state).
