Getting Started
Things to Know
About

Drag switches from the Switch catalog on the left to the stack on the right (top to bottom)

Select stacking technologies for Stack ports S1 and S2 by clicking on a switch in the stack

Click on the arrow to the right of the stack to expand the Tables and Reporting section

Extra Features

Click on a switch in the Switches catalog to see images of that switch and any stacking VIMs associated

Click on the arrow to the right of the stack to expand the Tables and Reporting section

For more details on stacking, please visit Getting Started with Summit Stacking and the Summit Family Hardware Installation Guide: EXOS version 16.1 and lower, EXOS version 21.1+

Legend

Stack slot border colors indicate whether a switch will work in the stack. The tool assumes the stack is in a ring topology. Green is “Compatible”. Yellow is “Incompatible with Master (slot 1)”. Red is “Incompatible”

Colored dots beneath the stacking technologies on each switch indicate stacking compatibility. Green is “Default Preferred” or “User Preferred”. Blue is “Compatible” (but is not the default preferred or user preferred). Red is “Incompatible”. Orange means that certain stacking technologies cannot function simultaneously -- see the notification pane for details. These are based on the selected switches in the stack

Table Limits

More information on table limitations can be found in the release notes for EXOS 16.1 and 21.1, or hover you mouse over each table limit for basic information

Continued Support

This tool will be enhanced with new features, usability improvements, and bug fixes. Please use the feedback link below the legend -- we will update the Known Bugs list accordingly

The Extreme Stacking Tool is an interactive web tool that can be used for many things. Primarily, it’s useful to verify hardware compatibility of different EXOS stackable products when building a new stack or modifying an existing stack. Based on the switch models selected, the tool recommends the best stacking technology, it notes the minimum and maximum supported EXOS versions, and displays the theoretical table sizes of the stack. Last, it serves as a learning tool with information in the tool and links to external documentation and knowledge articles.
