Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Stacking Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 89)

NOTE
If your intended stacking ports are connected in a ring topology, they will not all appear to be in the
forwarding state because of spanning tree, but secure-setup can still build the stack.
7. If you run out of flash memory while doing a write memory, your stack devices may contain very
large startup-config.v4 or startup-config.old files, which are preserved for recovery purposes. If you
do not need these files, you can delete them using the flash delete command. Enter the show dir
command to see all flash files.
8. Check to be sure you do not have any stacking to non-stacking connections. If you see the
following message.
Warning! Proc ???? packet in 2m from 0012.f2222.8300, Wrong dev/port: dev=4,
port=18, DSA=4971100 497--E
You might have stacking to non-stacking port connections
This indicates that you may have a connection between a stacking port and a non-stacking port.
This message will appear every 10 minutes after the first display. If you see this message once
only, and your connections are correct, your stack should be operating properly. Only repeat
displays of this message indicate a problem.
Troubleshooting a stacking upgrade
After you upgrade your device to support stacking, restart the device with the upgraded software. If you
encounter a problem at this step, make sure the memory DIMM and stacking EEPROM are installed
correctly. If they are not installed correctly, you may see output similar to the following.
FCX MEM size: 0x10000000
FCX Flash config....

Check your upgraded hardware for the following situations:
• EEPROM is installed incorrectly in the socket. Make sure Pin 1 on the EEPROM matches the Pin 1
hole in the socket.
• Make sure your memory DIMM is securely installed in the memory DIMM socket. Refer to the
hardware installation guide or the instructions that came with your upgrade kit for more information.
