Configuring 10-Gbps Stacking Ports on ICX 7450 Devices
By default, the ICX 7450 uses 40-Gbps ports in slots 3 and 4 as stacking ports. When
a 4X10GF module is installed in slot 2 on the front panel of an ICX 7450, 10-Gbps
stacking can be configured.
Note: Stacking and MACsec cannot be configured on these 10-Gbps ports at the same time.
Refer to
Converting ICX 7450 slot 2 ports for MACsec or stacking for more information.
To configure stacking on 10-Gbps ports in a 4X10GF
module installed in slot 2, configure use the stack-port or stack-trunk command to
configure stacking ports or trunks as shown in the following example.

Once the stack-ports are configured, enter the
write memory and then the
reload command, after which the unit is ready to join an existing stack or to be configured
for stacking using stack interactive-setup or manual stack construction.
Note: You must enable stacking with the
stack enable command before you can initiate stack interactive-setup or construct a stack.
Note: Changing the
stack-port configuration and entering the
reload command are not required for a unit to be discovered by stack interactive-setup or
stack zero-touch provisioning. However, you must reload the prospective active controller
after its stacking ports are changed before you initiate stack interactive-setup or
stack zero-touch provisioning from that unit. The units to be discovered do not need
to configure anything or reload. The active controller reloads them as members after
they are discovered.
Note: If you use the manual construction method, you must reload every unit if you have
changed stacking ports 1/3/1 and 1/4/1 to ports on slot 2.
