Stacking Ports not showing up

[mciantar]

Hi,

We are having an issue similar to what is mentioned in the post here: https://www.alcatelunleashed.com/viewtopic.php?t=22815

We have a working stack with 6 devices. We came to add 2 more which were previously a stack by themselves (1-2). When we add either of them, the physical interfaces do not show up.

We have tested with a brand new switch and we were able to join it to the stack without any trouble.

Show Stack Topology Looks fine (even though I do not understand why it is showing StackA and StackB)

Code: Select all

-> show stack topology 

                                         Link A  Link A          Link B  Link B
NI      Role      State   Saved  Link A  Remote  Remote  Link B  Remote  Remote
                          Slot   State   NI      Port    State   NI      Port

   2 SECONDARY   RUNNING    2    UP          3   StackB  UP          1   StackA
   3 IDLE        RUNNING    3    UP          4   StackB  UP          2   StackA
   4 IDLE        RUNNING    4    UP          5   StackA  UP          3   StackA
   5 IDLE        RUNNING    5    UP          4   StackA  UP          6   StackA
   6 IDLE        RUNNING    6    UP          5   StackB  UP          7   StackB
   7 IDLE        RUNNING    7    UP          1   StackB  UP          6   StackB

But show NI for the non working stack switch shows the following:

ERROR: Not a stack configuration. 

The problematic switch is connected to 6/52.

Any recommendation on how to resolve this issue?

[silvio]

Have you build-in the xni-u2 module with power-down of the switch? the NI-7 does not show any uboot/miniboot version. Maybe you need to update them? Have you tested both the new devices (ni7 and ni8) together without connection to the old stack? Is this working? Sometimes it helps to reboot the whoole stack.
your output of show stack topology means f.e. slot5 stack-port B is connected to slot6 port A, 6B to 7B, 7A to 1B etc.
Best regards
