Building an IronStack 5 5. Enter the stack secure-setup command. As shown In the following example, this command triggers a Dell proprietary discovery protocol that begins the discovery process in both upstream and downstream directions. The discovery process produces a list of upstream and downstream devices that are available to join the stack. Secure-setup can detect up to 7 units in each direction (14 total), but since the maximum number of units in a stack is 8, you must select a maximum of 7 units from both directions. NOTE To exit the secure-setup, enter ^C at any time. You should see output similar to the following. PowerConnect# stack secure-setup PowerConnect# Discovering the stack topology... Current Discovered Topology - RING Available UPSTREAM units Hop(s) Type Mac Address 1 FCX624 0012.f239.2d40 2 FCX624 0012.f2d5.2100 Available DOWNSTREAM units Hop(s) Type Mac Address 1 FCX624 0012.f2d5.2100 2 FCX624 0012.f239.2d40 Do you accept the topology (RING) (y/n)?: y If you accept the topology, you will see output similar to the following. Selected Topology: Active Id Type Mac Address 1 FCX648 00e0.52ab.cd00 Selected UPSTREAM units Hop(s) Id Type Mac Address 1 3 FCX624 0012.f239.2d40 2 2 FCX624 0012.f2d5.2100 Selected DOWNSTREAM units Hop(s) Id Type Mac Address 1 2 FCX624 0012.f2d5.2100 2 3 FCX624 0012.f239.2d40 Do you accept the unit ids (y/n)?: y To accept the unit ID assignments, type y. If you do not want to accept the ID assignments, type n. You can use secure-setup to renumber the units in your stack. Refer to "Renumbering stack units" on page 149. If you accept the unit IDs, the stack is formed, and you can see the stack topology using the show stack command.
