1.
Specify the stack unit ID.
Brocade# stack unit 1
2.
Specify the trunks or ports on this backbone device that connect to a peripheral device in a
substack.
Brocade(config-unit-1)# peri-port 1/3/1
Brocade(config-unit-1)# peri-port 1/3/2
Brocade(config-unit-1)# peri-port 1/3/7
Brocade(config-unit-1)# peri-port 1/3/8
Brocade(config-unit-1)# exit
3.
Enable stacking.
Brocade(config)# stack enable
4.
If there are two backbone devices, perform the steps in the “Mixed stack manual configuration for
a backbone standby controller device” task.
5.
To configure peripheral devices, perform the steps in the “Mixed stack manual configuration for
peripheral devices” task.
The following example shows the configuration of a mixed stack using the
manual configuration method in which all stack members are configured from
each individual device. The mixed stack contains two ICX 6610 devices in the
backbone and two substacks of three ICX 6450 peripheral devices each.
