3 HyperEdge stack discovery

HyperEdge stack discovery

HyperEdge stacks must contain at least one ICX 6610 device and one ICX 6650 device and all stacking members must be running IronWare 8.0 or later (the exact same version). HyperEdge stacks support up to 8 units in stack. Note that you do not recieve an error or warning message when unit number exceeds 8. However, the HyperEdge stack may stop functioning.

For stacking between ICX 6610 devices, use the 40 Gbps Ethernet ports as the stacking ports.

For stacking between ICX 6610 and ICX 6450 devices, use the 10 Gbps Ethernet ports as the stacking ports. The 10 Gbps Ethernet ports must have the POD license enabled with 10 Gbps speed. On the ICX 6610 device, you must configure a 10 Gbps Ethernet port as a peripheral port. You can connect the ICX 6450 device 10 Gbps Ethernet port to the ICX 6610 device peripheral port.

For stacking between ICX 6450 devices, use the 10 Gbps Ethernet ports as the stacking ports.

If the ICX 6610 device have full Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, HyperEdge stacking extends the ICX 6610 device Layer 3 and other advanced capabilities to the ICX 6450 device to process packets going to ICX 6450 ports.

For HyperEdge stacking management, the master/active and standby units must be the ICX 6610 device. Management of the stacking device is through the master unit only. This includes SNMP, sFlow, syslog, tftp, telnet and ssh traffic. The management port on each member unit (except the master unit) of an HpyerEdge stack, is not visible and does not function.

Configuring IP profile discovery

NOTE

You must have the All IP Products AOR (area of responsibility) in your user account to discover new products. For more information about user accounts, refer to “User accounts” on page 185.

To configure profile discovery, complete the following steps.

1.Select Discover > IP Products.

The Discover Setup - IP dialog box displays.
