ICX 7450 Stacking Configuration Notes

  • The 1 X 40-Gbps module supports stacking only when installed in rear panel slot 3 or 4.
  • The ICX 7450 supports 10-Gbps stacking when a 4X10GF module is present in slot 2. Refer to Configuring 10-Gbps stacking ports on the ICX 7450 for more information on 4 X 10-Gbps ports.
  • Stack ports can be configured using the stack-port or stack-trunk command.
  • ICX 7450 units support stack trunks only on a 4 X 10-Gbps (4X10GF) module installed in slot 2.
  • The 4X10GF ports can also support MACsec but not simultaneously. Refer to Converting ICX 7450 slot 2 ports for MACsec or stacking for more information on converting 4 X 10-Gbps ports to or from MACsec.
  • An IPsec module can be installed as an add-on in slot 2, 3, or 4 of an ICX 7450 device. Only one IPsec module should be installed in a stacking unit, and only one IPsec module is active in the stack at any time. A second IPsec module may be present in another stack unit; however, the second card does not provide active redundancy if the active IPsec module fails.
  • When the stack interactive-setup utility is used to configure an ICX 7450 stack, endpoints or ports of ending units that are not used for stacking are left as data ports, except on active units, where both ports 1/3/1 and 1/4/1 (or both ports 1/2/1 and 1/2/3 with 4 X 10-Gbps stacking) become valid-stack-ports as a result of the stack enable command being executed.
