ICX 8200 Configuration Notes
Keep the following points in mind when configuring ICX 8200 stack units.
- Any ICX 8200 models can be linked to form a stack from Module 2.
- ICX 8200 stacking links can have a speed of 10 Gbps or 25 Gbps.
- Stacking cannot be enabled on an ICX 8200 device containing configuration for Module 2, including port speed. The configuration must be removed before stacking is enabled.
- Unused stacking ports can be used as
data ports. For example, you can elect to use only one valid-stack-port as a
stacking port and the other valid-stack-port as a data port. Furthermore, when an
ICX 8200 stacking module is not configured for stacking, its stacking ports can be
used as data ports.

- Only ports that are in sequential order can be configured as a stacking trunk.
- To configure a stacking trunk manually on a stack unit, use the stack-trunk command. However, in a live production environment, use the multi-stack-trunk command.
- In a stacking system with two directions, ICX 8200 stacks support a maximum of two ports per trunk in one direction. As an exception, a linear-topology trunk in a two-unit stack may contain up to four ports.
- A configuration mismatch with the physical module installed as Module 2 can cause a stacking unit to become non-operational. The mismatch can be resolved by removing the unit from the stack so that the active controller relearns its configuration or by correcting module information.
- ICX 8200-C08PF devices support 10-Gbps stacking only.
