Building an IronStack

NOTE

If you are adding PowerConnect B-Series FCX-E or PowerConnect B-Series FCX-I devices to a stack

containing PowerConnect B-Series FCX-S devices, you must reconfigure the stacking ports on the

PowerConnect B-Series FCX-S devices to be the 10 Gbps ports on the front panel. You can then

connect all of the devices in a stack using front panel ports.

Changing PowerConnect B-Series FCX-S and CX4 ports from 16 Gbps to 10 Gbps

You can configure the 16 Gbps PowerConnect B-Series FCX4 ports to operate as 10 Gbps ports

using the speed-duplex command, as shown in the following example.

Syntax: speed-duplex [10-full | 10- half | 100-fu ll | 100-hal f | 1000-full-master | 1000-full-slave

|10g-full | auto]

•10-full - 10M, full duplex

•10-half - 10M, half duplex

•100-full - 100M, full duplex

•100-half - 100M, half duplex

•1000-full-master - 1G, full duplex, master

•1000-full-slave - 1G, full duplex, slave

•10g-full - 10G, full duplex

•auto - Autonegotiation

NOTE

Both ends of a link must be configured for 10 Gbps for the link to operate as 10 Gbps. If you want

the link to operate as a 16 Gbps link, both ends of the link must be configured for 16 Gbps.
