Managing your IronStack 5 Syntax: show statistics stack-ports Table 36 describes the fields displayed by the show statistics stack-ports command. TABLE 36 This field Field definitions for the show statistics stack-ports command Indicates... Port In Packets Out Packets In Errors Out Errors The stack identification number for this unit. The number of incoming packets on this port The number of outgoing packets on this port The number of incoming errors on this port The number of outgoing errors on this port Adding, removing, or replacing units in an IronStack The following sections describe how to add, remove, or replace units in an IronStack. The recommended method is to connect units to the stack before you supply power to the units, however, you can also connect powered units. Installing a new unit in an IronStack using secure-setup This method can be applied to clean units, or units that have existing configurations. 1. Connect the new unit to the stack by connecting the 10 Gbps stacking ports. 2. Run secure-setup on the Active Controller and assign an ID to the new unit. The Active Controller will reset the new unit. 3. Once the new unit boots and joins the stack, do a write memory on the Active Controller. Installing a new unit using static configuration If the new unit is a clean unit and the connection is sequential you can add it using the static setup process. 1. Enter the module configuration of the new unit into the Active Controller configuration. 2. Connect the new unit to the stack using the 10Gbps stacking ports. The sequence in which you connect the unit must match that of the Active Controller configuration. The Active Controller automatically resets the unit. 3. Once the new unit boots and joins the stack, do a write memory on the Active Controller. You should see the following message. Done hot swap: Set stack unit 3 to Fully-Operational:16 Configuration notes Configuration on a new unit can be accomplished in three ways: • If the Active Controller has no configuration information for the new unit, it learns the new unit's configuration. This is a dynamic configuration and will disappear if the new unit leaves the stack. In order for the configuration to stay on the Active Controller (to make it a static configuration), you must do a write memory on the Active Controller.
