5 Managing your IronStack NOTE The two left ports on the Four-port 10Gbps SFP+ module do not pass regular Ethernet traffic by default. The stack disable command must be entered at the global level and the stack disable command must be configured on these two ports in order for them to pass regular traffic. Copying the flash image to a stack unit from the Active Controller To copy the flash image to a stack unit from the Active Controller primary or secondary flash, enter the following command. PowerConnect# copy flash flash unit-id-pri 2 Syntax: copy flash flash [primary | secondary | unit-id-pri | unit-id-sec ] • primary - Copy secondary to primary • secondary - Copy primary to secondary • unit-id-pri - Copy active primary image to unit-id • unit-id-sec - Copy active secondary image to unit-id The unit-id-pri or unit-id-sec keywords are used to copy images to a stack member from the Active Controller primary and secondary flash, respectively. For , enter a value from 1 through 8. For FCXS devices, the unit range is from 1 through 10. Reloading a stack unit To reload a stack unit, enter the following command. PowerConnect# reload Syntax: reload [after | at | cancel | unit-id ] • after - schedule reloading after certain time period • at - schedule reloading at an exact later time • cancel - cancel scheduled reload • unit-id - stack members to reload • The unit-id can be a combination, such as 2,4-6,8. Tokens must be separated by a comma and there is no space. Controlling stack topology Because Stackable devices allow you to use one of the two ports intended for stacking as a regular data port, you can control the size of your stack. The following example shows a stack where the existing ring topology is changed so that only one unit in the upstream direction is connected through a stacking port, which limits the size of the stack to two units. PowerConnect# stack secure-setup PowerConnect# Discovering the stack topology... Current Discovered Topology - RING 126 PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 53-1002266-01

PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide

Managing your IronStack

NOTE

The two left ports on the Four-port 10Gbps SFP+ module do not pass regular Ethernet traffic by

default. The stack disable command must be entered at the global level and the stack disable

command must be configured on these two ports in order for them to pass regular traffic.

Copying the flash image to a stack unit from

the Active Controller

To copy the flash image to a stack unit from the Active Controller primary or secondary flash, enter

the following command.

PowerConnect# copy flash flash unit-id-pri 2

Syntax:

copy flash flash

[

primary

secondary

unit-id-pri

unit-num

unit-id-sec

unit-num

•

primary

- Copy secondary to primary

•

secondary

- Copy primary to secondary

•

unit-id-pri

- Copy active primary image to unit-id

•

unit-id-sec

- Copy active secondary image to unit-id

The

unit-id-pri

unit-id-sec

keywords are used to copy images to a stack member from the Active

Controller primary and secondary flash, respectively. For <

unit-num

>, enter a value from 1 through

8. For FCXS devices, the unit range is from 1 through 10.

Reloading a stack unit

To reload a stack unit, enter the following command.

PowerConnect# reload

Syntax: reload

[

cancel

unit-id

unit-list

•

after

- schedule reloading after certain time period

•

- schedule reloading at an exact later time

•

cancel

- cancel scheduled reload

•

unit-id

- stack members to reload

•

The

unit-id

unit-list

> can be a combination, such as 2,4-6,8. Tokens must be separated by a

comma and there is no space.

Controlling stack topology

Because Stackable devices allow you to use one of the two ports intended for stacking as a regular

data port, you can control the size of your stack. The following example shows a stack where the

existing ring topology is changed so that only one unit in the upstream direction is connected

through a stacking port, which limits the size of the stack to two units.

PowerConnect# stack secure-setup
