Znyx Networks bh5700 manual Zstack Configures the OpenArchitect switch stacking

zstack

NAME

zstack - Configures the OpenArchitect switch stacking.

SYNOPSIS

zstack [-h <host_name>] [-d <level>] [-a] [-t] [{-f <file>} <configuration>]

DESCRIPTION

zstack combines multiple switch fabric chips into a single virtual switch. zstack must be run before any other switch configuration. Specifically it must be run before zconfig. zstack is typically run from an S20stack script prior to the S50xxx scripts. zstack currently only supports directly connected switch chips as are present on the Ethernet Switch Blade. Directly connected means that the local CPU can directly access and control the switch fabric chips being stacked. zstack does not yet support network based stacking where there are separate boards with separate CPUs controlling the switch fabric chips.

OPTIONS

-h <hostname>	Specifies the remote hostname to configure.
By default, zstack configures		stacking on	the local
OpenArchitect	switch. This option should		only be used for
displaying the configuration,		if at all.

-d <level> Sets the level of debugging output produced by zstack. The default level is 1. Setting the debug level higher produces more output. The maximum output level is currently four (4).

-a Displays the current stacking configuration of the switch.

-t Tears down the entire switch stacking configuration.

{-f <file>} <configuration>

Gets configuration information from the specified file. A <file> name of '+' reads configuration data from standard input. If the -f flag is not used, a single line of configuration data can be entered as parameters to zstack.

CONFIGURATION SYNTAX

zstack takes configuration data from standard input or from a file with the -foption. In either case, the configuration syntax is the same. The zstack configuration data consists of a list of
