Configuring AOS-CX VSF Stacks Using UI Groups

You can create VSF stacks, add stack members, modify VSF links, change standby conductor and remove stack members through the UI.

To create and manage stacks through the UI, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• All switches in the VSF stack are added to the device inventory and assigned with a license.
• All switches in the VSF stack are set to the factory default configuration.
• All switches in the VSF stack are running 10.07 or later firmware versions.
• All switches in the VSF stack are of the same switch series. Stacks cannot be created with a mixed set of switches. The stacks must be made up of either only 6200 or only 6300 switches.
• Members in the VSF stack other than the conductor should not have an uplink connectivity. Otherwise, auto-stacking will not work.
• Before creating a stack, only the conductor must be moved to the UI group. All other stack members will be automatically moved to the UI group once the stack is created.
•  For auto-stacking to work, the switches should be connected in the direction of the higher denomination port to the lower denomination port.

  The following ports are reserved for auto-stacking:

  • 24-port switch models— Ports 25 and 26
  • 48-port switch models— Ports 49 and 50

    For more information on auto-stacking configuration, refer to the AOS-CX Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) Guide.
