This document shows how to configure stack in QSFPTEK 5300/7300 series switches.

Overview

Virtualization technology enables centralized management and port expansion by connecting switches with virtualization functions using virtualization ports and cables to form a virtual device. It offers advantages such as expanding port density, simplifying user management, and extending link capacity. Users can manage a group of switches as a logical object through a single IP, reducing IP address usage and facilitating management. To enable the virtualization function, users need to restart the device after configuring it through virtualization management.

Two Devices Stack Configuration Case

1.Network topology

2. Configuration is as follows

DUT1 configuration：

DUT1>enable

DUT1#config

DUT1_config#bvss

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss enable

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss domain-id 1

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss member-id 1

DUT1_config_bvs#bvss priority 10

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss mode normal

DUT1_config bvss#bvss interface 1 type cGigaEthernet port 1 group 1

DUT1_config bvss#bvss interface 2 type cGigaEthernet port 2 group 1

DUT1_config_bvss#quit

DUT1#write bvss-config

DUT1#reboot

DUT2 configuration：

DUT2>enable

DUT2#config

DUT2_config#bvss

DUT2_config_bvss#bvss enable

DUT2_config_bvss#bvss domain-id 1

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss member-id 2

DUT2_config_bvs#bvss priority 20

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss mode normal

DUT2_config bvss#bvss interface 1 type cGigaEthernet port 1 group 2

DUT2_config bvss#bvss interface 2 type cGigaEthernet port 2 group 2

DUT2_config_bvss#quit

DUT2#write bvss-config

DUT2#reboot

3. Use the following commands to check the virtualization configuration information：

Switch#enable

Switch#show bvss current-config

Switch#show bvss management

Three Devices Stack Configuration Case

1.Network topology

2. Configuration is as follows

DUT1 configuration：

DUT1>enable

DUT1#config

DUT1_config#bvss

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss enable

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss domain-id 1

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss member-id 1

DUT1_config_bvs#bvss priority 10

DUT1_config_bvss#bvss mode enhanced

DUT1_config bvss#bvss interface 1 type cGigaEthernet port 1 group 1

DUT1_config bvss#bvss interface 2 type cGigaEthernet port 2 group 2

DUT1_config_bvss#quit

DUT1#write bvss-config

DUT1#reboot

DUT2 configuration：

DUT2>enable

DUT2#config

DUT2_config#bvss

DUT2_config_bvss#bvss enable

DUT2_config_bvss#bvss domain-id 1

DUT2_config_bvss#bvss member-id 2

DUT2_config_bvs#bvss priority 20

DUT2_config_bvss#bvss mode enhanced

DUT2_config bvss#bvss interface 1 type cGigaEthernet port 1 group 2

DUT2_config bvss#bvss interface 2 type cGigaEthernet port 2 group 1

DUT2_config_bvss#quit

DUT2#write bvss-config

DUT2#reboot

DUT3 configuration：

DUT3>enable

DUT3#config

DUT3_config#bvss

DUT3_config_bvss#bvss enable

DUT3_config_bvss#bvss domain-id 1

DUT3_config_bvss#bvss member-id 3

DUT3_config_bvs#bvss priority 30

DUT3_config_bvss#bvss mode enhanced

DUT3_config bvss#bvss interface 1 type cGigaEthernet port 1 group 1

DUT3_config bvss#bvss interface 2 type cGigaEthernet port 2 group 2

DUT3_config_bvss#quit

DUT3#write bvss-config

DUT3#reboot

3. Use the following commands to check the virtualization configuration information：

Switch#enable

Switch#show bvss current-config

Switch#show bvss management

Note：

To enable stacking, it is necessary to use a 10G SFP+ port. Once the switch has been successfully restarted after stacking, the service port is set to shutdown by default. To enable individual ports, the no shutdown command can be used, or multiple ports can be configured simultaneously by using batch configuration. For instance, to configure Ethernet ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the master switch interface, enter the following command in the configuration mode.
