3Managing OmniSwitch 6600 Series Stacks

In addition to working as individual stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6600 series switches can also be linked together to work as a single virtual switch known as a stack. With stacks you can easily expand your switching capacity simply by adding additional switches. In addition, stacks provide enhanced resil- iency and redundancy features.

Note. See Chapter 2, “OmniSwitch 6600 Series Chassis and Hardware Components,” for information on managing OmniSwitch 6600 series switches in a stand-alone configuration.

In This Chapter

The chapter describes basic steps to configure up to eight (8) OmniSwitch 6600 series switches into a stack. In addition, procedures using Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to monitor the status of stacks are also provided.

Procedures described in this chapter include:

•Setting up a stacked configuration on page 3-8.

•Managing switches on a stack on page 3-16.

•Monitoring stacks with CLI commands on page 3-19.

Note. You can also monitor the status and configuration of stacks with WebView, Alcatel’s embedded web-based device management application. WebView is an interactive and easy-to-use GUI that can be launched from OmniVista or a web browser. Please refer to WebView’s online documentation for more information.
