Stacking on H3c S5500

Today i wanna share for how to stack on H3c S5500. See below picture.

 

How to cofigure stacking on H3C S5500 switch. They have separate Ten-Gbic module to make a stacking feature. We can directly order from HP. After installation of 10 gbic module at the back of the switch. We can see on console access of H3c switch.

We will connect stacking cable 1.5 m or 5 m cable based on rack arrangement and location as below picture. We can configure as Switch 1 as master switch , give them priority number 32.

Commands as follow:
Switch 1:
# irf member 1 priority 32
#irf member 1 renumber 1                 : Renumber for display

#int TenGigabitEthernet1/0/25
shutdown                                         

#int TenGigabitEthernet1/0/26           

shutdown

#irf-port 1/1                                       : assign irf virtual port 1/1 to Ten Gigabit interface 1/0/1
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1

#irf-port 1/2                                        : assign irf virtual port 1/1 to Ten Gigabit interface 1/0/1
port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/2

#int TenGigabitEthernet1/0/26
undo shutdown
#int TenGigabitEthernet1/0/26
undo shutdown

Configure same command on switch 2 , 3 , and 4 except irf number. and then restart the switches . H3c switches are formed as stacking switches.

Switch 2
#irf member 1 renumber 2

Switch 3
#irf member 1 renumber 3

Switch 4
#irf member 1 renumber 4


See below pictures.  The stacking is formed based on Above picture.

Hope blog readers enjoy H3c Stacking. :)
