ICX 7150 Stack Configuration Overview
ICX 7150 Stacking Capabilities
| Stacking Capability | ICX 7150 | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Topologies supported | Ring and linear | Refer to ICX 7150 stacking topologies. |
| Maximum stack size | 8 units |
Any combination of eligible ICX 7150 devices may be stacked. From FastIron release 09.0.00 ICX 7150 stacks can contain a maximum of eight units. |
| Maximum stacking distance | 10 Kilometers | Refer to FastIron stacking distances and optics by device for more information. |
| Stacking ports | Four 1-Gbps / 10-Gbps ports on fixed module on front panel that are available for stacking only when configured for 10-Gbps operation
Note: ICX 7150-C10ZP and ICX 7150-C12P devices have
two 1-Gbps / 10-Gbps ports that are available for stacking only
when configured for 10-Gbps operation.
|
On most ICX 7150 models, module 3 on the front panel contains four ports that can be used as stacking or uplink ports. On ICX 7150-C10ZP and ICX 7150-C12P devices, module 3 on the front panel contains two ports that can be used as stacking or uplink ports. On ICX 7150-48ZP devices, module 2 on the front panel contains four ports that can be used as stacking or uplink ports. Refer to ICX 7150 stacking topologies for module and port locations. |
| Valid-stack-port sets | On most models, (x/3/1, x/3/3, 2) On ICX 7150-C10ZP and ICX 7150-C12P devices, (x/3/1, x/3/2, 1) On ICX 7150-48ZP devices, (x/2/1, x/2/3, 2)
Note: The third number in the set is the maximum number of ports in a stacking trunk. One
indicates stack-port only.

Refer to the definition of valid-stack-port set in Stacking terminology for more information. Refer to ICX 7150 stacking topologies for port locations. |
| Reconfigurable ports | Supported | Use the
Once licensed, stacking ports will come up automatically as 10-Gbps. You can manually reconfigure 1-Gbps ports to licensed 10-Gbps ports and vice versa
using the
|
| Stack trunks | Supported | Refer to
ICX 7150 stacking trunks.
ICX 7150-C10ZP and ICX 7150-C12P devices do not support stacking trunks. |
| Linear-topology trunks | ICX 7150-C10ZP, ICX 7150-C12P: stack-trunk x/3/1 to x/3/2 ICX 7150-24, ICX 7150-24F, ICX 7150-24P: stack-trunk x/3/1 to x/3/4 ICX 7150-48, ICX 7150-48P, ICX 7150-48PF: no linear-topology trunk ICX 7150-48ZP: stack-trunk x/2/1 to x/2/4 |
A linear-topology trunk is allowed only in a two-unit stack. It places the ports from both directions into one trunk. Refer to Configuring Two-unit Stack Linear-topology Trunks for more information. |
| Hitless switchover and hitless failover | Supported | Refer to Hitless stacking. |
| License requirements | A 10-Gbps license is required to support stacking, except on ICX 7150-48ZP devices. | Two 10-Gbps ports are standard on ICX 7150-48ZP devices, and any additional 10-Gbps ports require a license. On other ICX 7150 models, all 10-Gbps ports require a license. Licenses are available for additional 10-Gbps ports except on ICX 7150-C12P devices, which have only two available ports. Refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Software Licensing Guide for information. |
| Configuration options | Manual and automatic, including interactive-setup and zero-touch provisioning | Refer to Stack construction methods. |
| Access methods | TFTP, SCP | Software images, boot images, and signatures can be downloaded to a stack using TFTP and SCP. Refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Software Upgrade Guide for more information. |
| Stacking commands | All stacking CLI is available on the ICX 7150 unless otherwise noted on the command reference page. |
