How the Management application handles a cluster mode change
In Network OS release 4.0, an administrator can change the mode of a cluster from fabric cluster
mode to logical chassis cluster mode, and vice versa. For instructions, refer to the Network OS
Administrator’s Guide and the Network OS Command Reference.
NOTE
All cluster-specific configurations are lost during a cluster-mode change.
On refresh collection, the Management application detects the mode change and retains all
database entries related to the cluster.
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.
