NOTE: Each unit in the stack has a stack number that is either assigned by you or Dell EMC Networking OS. To manually renumber stack members, use the stack-unit old-unit-number renumber new-unit-number command. Renumbering stack members causes the entire stack to reload. Removing Front End Port Stacking To remove the configuration on the front end ports used for stacking, use the following commands. 1 Remove the stack group configuration that is configured. CONFIGURATION mode no stack-unit id stack-group id 2 Save the stacking configuration on the ports. EXEC Privilege mode write memory 3 Reload the switch. EXEC Privilege mode reload After the units are reloaded, the system reboots. The units come up as standalone units after the reboot completes. Troubleshoot a Stack To troubleshoot a stack, use the following recovery tasks. • Recover from Stack Link Flaps • Recover from a Card Problem State on a Stack Recover from Stack Link Flaps Stack link integrity monitoring enables units to monitor their own stack ports and disable any stack port that flaps five times within 10 seconds. Dell EMC Networking OS displays console messages for the local and remote members of a flapping link, and on the primary (master) and standby management units as KERN-2-INT messages if the flapping port belongs to either of these units. In the following example, a stack-port on the master flaps. The remote member, Member 2, displays a console message, and the master and standby display KERN-2-INT messages. To re-enable the downed stack-port, power cycle the offending unit. Example of Console Messages About Flapping Link MANAGMENT UNIT Error: Stack Port 50 has flapped 5 times within 10 seconds.Shutting down this st ack port now. Error: Please check the stack cable/module and power-cycle the stack. 10:55:20: %STKUNIT1-M:CP %KERN-2-INT: Error: Stack Port 50 has flapped 5 times w ithin 10 seconds.Shutting down this stack port now. 10:55:20: %STKUNIT1-M:CP %KERN-2-INT: Error: Please check the stack cable/module and power-cycle the stack STANDBY UNIT 10:55:18: %STKUNIT1-M:CP %KERN-2-INT: Error: Stack Port 50 has flapped 5 times within 10 seonds.Shutting down this stack port now. 10:55:18: %STKUNIT1-M:CP %KERN-2-INT: Error: Please check the stack cable/module and power-cycle the stack. 926 Stacking

NOTE:

Each unit in the stack has a stack number that is either assigned by you or Dell EMC Networking OS. To manually

renumber stack members, use the

stack-unit

old-unit-number

renumber

new-unit-number

command.

Renumbering stack members causes the entire stack to reload.

Removing Front End Port Stacking

To remove the

conﬁguration

on the front end ports used for stacking, use the following commands.

Remove the stack group

conﬁguration

that is

conﬁgured.

CONFIGURATION mode

no stack-unit

stack-group

Save the stacking

conﬁguration

on the ports.

EXEC Privilege mode

write memory

Reload the switch.

EXEC Privilege mode

reload

After the units are reloaded, the system reboots. The units come up as standalone units after the reboot completes.

Troubleshoot a Stack

To troubleshoot a stack, use the following recovery tasks.

•

Recover from Stack Link Flaps

•

Recover from a Card Problem State on a Stack

Recover from Stack Link Flaps

Stack link integrity monitoring enables units to monitor their own stack ports and disable any stack port that

ﬂaps

ﬁve

times within 10

seconds.

Dell EMC Networking OS displays console messages for the local and remote members of a

ﬂapping

link, and on the primary (master) and

standby management units as KERN-2-INT messages if the

ﬂapping

port belongs to either of these units.

In the following example, a stack-port on the master

ﬂaps.

The remote member, Member 2, displays a console message, and the master

and standby display KERN-2-INT messages.

To re-enable the downed stack-port, power cycle the

oﬀending

unit.
