Failure Scenarios

The following sections describe some of the common fault conditions that can happen in a switch stack

and how they are resolved.

Stack Member Fails

•Problem: A unit that is not the stack master fails in an operational stack.

•Resolution: If a stack member fails in a daisy chain topology, a split stack occurs. If a member unit

fails in a ring topology, traffic is re-routed over existing stack links.

The following syslog messages are generated when a member unit fails:

Dell#May 31 01:46:17: %STKUNIT3-M:CP %IPC-2-STATUS: target stack unit 4 not

responding

May 31 01:46:17: %STKUNIT3-M:CP %CHMGR-2-STACKUNIT_DOWN: Major alarm: Stack

unit 4 down - IPC

Unplugged Stacking Cable

•Problem: A stacking cable is unplugged from a member switch. The stack loses half of its bandwidth

from the disconnected switch.

•Resolution: Intra-stack traffic is re-routed on a another link using the redundant stacking port on the

switch. A recalculation of control plane and data plane connections is performed.
