stack mac

Manually configures a specific MAC address for a traditional stack.

Syntax

stack mac mac-address

no stack mac mac-address

Command Default

Beginning with FastIron release 08.0.20, when a stack is enabled or when hitless-failover occurs, a default stack MAC address is assigned if none is configured. In earlier releases, the stack assumed the MAC address of the active controller by default.

Parameters

mac-address: Specifies the MAC address to be used for the stack.

Modes

Active stack controller configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Enter the no form of this command to revert to the use of the active controllers' MAC address.

The MAC address is a hexadecimal value entered in the format xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.

Examples

The following example configures the stack MAC address manually as 0000.0163.0022.

device(config)# stack mac 0000.0163.0022
