3com 4500G stacking

[ezzauk]

Hi all, im trying to stack 3 x 3com 4500G 48 Ports, im using 10-Gigabit Local Connection Module and the CX4 Cables for it, but i cant get them to stack?

Help Please

are you sure 4500 support stacking 10gb links ?

 

I know 3com stacking can be a pita sometimes, I had to follow the manual to do it, and there was some command line trickery involved IIRC.

 

I suggest you follow the manual and then post any problems

We have updated all the switches with the s3q05_02_00s56 firmware, then using the manual i have config the switches as follows:

 

[switchA]

system-view

stack ip-pool 192.168.1.1 24

stack role master

stack stack-port 1 ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/1

 

[switchB]

system-view

stack stack-port 1 ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/1

 

[switchC]

system-view

stack stack-port 1 ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/1

 

On the master stack if i display stack members it just show the master, if i do the same on the slaves, it errors saying not in a stack?

This is the document I followed, IIRC I just setup the 4500's so that all three were managed as one, the 5500's we had I setup with XRN clustering. Sorry I can't be more helpful with your specifics.
