ICX 7450 Stack Configuration Overview
ICX 7450 Stacking Capability
| Stacking Capability | ICX 7450 | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Topologies supported | Ring and linear | Refer to ICX 7450 stacking topologies. |
| Maximum stack size | 12 units | Stacking and SPX configurations. Any combination of ICX 7450 devices may be stacked. When a stand-alone ICX 7450 is configured as a PE unit attached to a control bridge in an 802.1br SPX configuration, scaling is increased. Refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Campus Fabric Configuration Guide for more information. |
| Maximum stacking distance | 100 meters, 300 meters, or 10 kilometers, depending on optic | Refer to FastIron stacking distances and optics by device for more information. |
| Stacking ports |
Two 40-Gbps ports in rear or 4 X 10-Gbps ports as an option on front Note: 40-Gbps stacking and 4 X 10-Gbps stacking cannot be used simultaneously in the same
stack.
|
Modules 3 and 4, one port each. Four 10-Gbps ports are available as an option when a 4X10GF module is installed in slot 2. Refer to ICX 7450 stacking topologies for module locations. |
| Valid-stack-port sets |
Factory set (x/3/1, x/4/1, 1) or (x/2/1, x/2/3, 2)
Note: The third number of a 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 and Valid-stack-port sets for more information. Refer to ICX 7450 stacking topologies for port locations. |
| Reconfigurable ports | Use the
stack-port and
stack-trunk commands to reconfigure ports.
|
Stacking ports can be reconfigured as data ports. Refer to Configuring 10 Gbps stacking ports on the ICX 7450 for more information. Refer to Planning to build a stack with 802.1br switch port extender capability for more information about configuring ICX 7450 devices in an SPX configuration. |
| Stack trunks |
Two trunks are possible: 1/2/1 to 1/2/2 and 1/2/3 to 1/2/4 |
Supported on 10-Gbps ports only when a 4X10GF module is present in slot 2. Refer to Creating stack trunks on the ICX 7450 for more information. |
| Linear-topology trunks | The ICX 7450-24P is the only model that supports linear trunks:
stack-trunk 1/3/1 and 1/4/1 stack-trunk 1/2/1 to 1/2/4 |
Refer to Support for two-unit stack linear-topology trunks for more information. |
| Hitless switchover and hitless failover | Supported | Refer to Hitless stacking. |
| License requirements | No license required for
stack-port configuration
|
Premium feature requires trust-based license. Refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Software Licensing Guide for information. |
| Configuration options | Manual and automatic, including stack interactive-setup and stack 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 | These commands are not available on ICX 7450 devices, except as noted:
