FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Cisco stack member, software train and cabling questions for operators in Australia.

Yes, matched to the software train and licence level the existing stack is running rather than to the current release.
Only if it is running a compatible software train. A stack is one logical switch built from several physical ones, and a member arriving on a different train either refuses to join or forces the stack to reconcile — which on some platforms means reloading every member.
Yes, which is the opposite of what a stack is for. A stack exists so that losing one member is survivable, and an incompatible replacement converts a single-member failure into an event affecting every port in the stack.
Know the train and licence level the stack runs, recorded somewhere off the stack, and source a member matching it. On an out-of-support platform that is a search rather than an order, which is why the answer needs to exist before the failure.
The cables are simpler but not generic — they are specific to the stacking technology and bandwidth, and a mismatched one can bring the stack up in a degraded ring. Worth holding a spare.

A Stack Is One Switch Made of Several

Stacking exists so that a number of physical switches present as a single logical device with one configuration and one management point. That is genuinely useful and it creates a coupling: the members must agree on software train and capability, because they are not cooperating peers but parts of one thing.

An Incompatible Member Escalates the Failure

Introduce a switch on a different train and it either declines to join or forces the stack to reconcile, which on some platforms reloads every member. A stack exists so that losing one switch is survivable; an incompatible replacement converts that single failure into an event affecting every port in the stack. The repair becomes larger than the fault.

The Answer Has to Exist Before the Failure

Which train and licence level the stack runs is knowable in a minute today and unavailable when one member is dead and the other is carrying the floor. It also needs recording somewhere other than on the stack itself, for the obvious reason. On an out-of-support platform sourcing a matching member is a search, and searches take time you will not have.

The Cables Are Not Generic Either

Stacking cables are specific to the technology and bandwidth in use, and a mismatched one can bring a stack up in a degraded ring that works while halving its resilience. A spare is inexpensive. ICD supplies stack members matched to the running train, cabling, optics and UCS components for platforms past end of support, tested and covered for one to three years.
