ICX 7650 Stack Configuration Overview
ICX 7650 Stacking Capabilities
| Stacking Capability | ICX 7650 | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Topologies supported | Ring and linear | ICX 7650 devices can operate in a stack only when the rear module (Module 3) is in stacking mode. Stacking is not available when the rear module is configured in uplink mode. Refer to ICX 7650 rear-module options for more information. Refer to ICX 7650 stacking topologies for sample linear and ring topologies. |
| Maximum stack size | 12 | Stacking only. Can serve as Control Bridge stack in 802.1br (Campus Fabric) configurations. Any combination of ICX 7650 devices can be stacked. |
| Maximum stacking distance | 40 kilometers | Refer to FastIron stacking distances and optics by device for more information. |
| Stacking ports | ICX 7650 devices support 40-Gbps and 100-Gbps stacking. | Module 3 supports 4 X 40-Gbps stacking or 2 X 100-Gbps stacking (the default). Stacking port speeds can be changed to 40-Gbps with the
|
| Valid-stack-port sets | For 100-Gbps stacking: (x/3/1, x/3/2, 1) For 40-Gbps stacking: (x/3/1, x/3/3, 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 and Valid-stack-port sets for more information. Refer to ICX 7650 stacking ports for module and port locations. |
| Reconfigurable ports | Supported | The
Note: Valid-stack-port sets are specific to stacking port speed settings and cannot be reconfigured.
|
| Stack trunks | Supported | 2 X 40-Gbps bidirectional trunks are supported on ports 1/3/1 to 1/3/2 and ports 1/3/3 to 1/3/4. Note: When stacking port speed changes, existing stacking trunk configuration may be removed.
Refer to Configuring an ICX 7650 trunk manually on a non-production system and Configuring an ICX 7650 stacking trunk on a live system. |
| Linear-topology trunks | For 100-Gbps: stack-trunk x/3/1 to x/3/2 For 40-Gbps: stack-trunk x/3/1 to x/3/4 |
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 | Premium Layer 3, MACsec | Static routing and RIP are the only Layer 3 protocols available without a license. All other Layer 3 protocols require a Premium Layer 3 license. A separate license is required for MACsec. Refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Software Licensing Guide for more information. |
| Configuration options | Manual and automatic, including stack 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 ICX 7650 devices unless otherwise noted on the command reference page. |
