Stacking Ports Displayed Even When Stacking Is Not Enabled
In FastIron releases prior to 08.0.90, when stacking is not enabled, the system does
not display factory-default stacking ports in
show running-config command output. However, in these releases, if the stacking ports have been changed,
they are displayed. In contrast, FastIron release 08.0.90 always displays stacking
ports in
show running-config command output, regardless of whether stacking is enabled or whether the stacking
ports are set to factory default or have been changed.
In all FastIron releases, when
stack enable is not configured, the stacking ports are available for use as data ports and may
contain any data port configuration such as tagged ports.
stack enable command is not configured. However, the stacking ports are always displayed in three-tuple
format (x/y/z) even when they have been configured as breakout ports. For example,
if port 1/2/1 is a breakout port, it appears in general configuration or
show command output as 1/2/1:1; however, any output that shows the port as stack-port
configuration displays the port as 1/2/1.
In all releases, when you enter the
stack enable command, the system checks all stacking ports to make sure they contain no configuration.
If any configuration is present, the
stack enable command is denied.
