ICX 7550 Stack Configuration Overview
ICX 7550 Stacking Capability
| Stacking Capability | ICX 7550 | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Topologies supported | Ring and linear | Refer to ICX 7550 stacking topologies for more information. |
| Maximum stack size | 12 | Stacking only. |
| Maximum stacking distance | 40 kilometers |
Refer to FastIron stacking distances and optics by device for more information. |
| ICX 7550 model combinations | Allowed (all models) | |
| Stacking ports | 100 Gbps or 2 X 40 Gbps |
Stacking port speeds are auto-detect. Not all models support 100-Gbps stacking. Refer to ICX 7550 Stacking Configuration Notes. |
| Valid-stack-port sets | (x/2/1, x/2/2, 1)
Note: The third number in the set is the maximum number of ports in a stacking trunk. The
number "1" indicates a single 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 7550 Stacking Topologies for port locations. |
| Reconfigurable ports | Use the
stack-port and
stack-trunk commands to reconfigure ports.
|
Stacking port speeds are auto-detect and cannot be configured. |
| Trunks | Stacking trunks are not supported in ICX 7550 stacks, with the exception of two-unit linear-topology trunks. |
Refer to "Linear-topology trunks" in this table. |
| Linear-topology trunks | The following maximum linear-topology trunks are supported in an ICX 7550 two-unit
stack:
stack-trunk x/2/1 to x/2/2 |
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. No license required for Premium features.
|
For more information on ICX 7550 license options, refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Software Licensing Guide. |
| 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 applications. Refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Software Upgrade Guide for more information. |
| Stacking commands | All stacking commands are supported on ICX 7550 devices unless otherwise stated on the command reference page. |
