Long-distance stacking ports

Only certain FastIron stacking devices support long-distance stacking. FastIron models and 40-Gbps ports that can be used for long-distance data and stacking connections are listed in the following table.

Table 4 FastIron long-distance 40-Gbps ports
Product and model Ports that support 1X40-Gbps optics Long-distance stacking ports
ICX 7450 (all models) 1/3/1, 1/4/1 1/3/1, 1/4/1
ICX 7750-26Q 1/1/1 through 1/1/20; 1/2/1 through 1/2/6, 1/3/5, 1/3/6 1/2/5, 1/2/6, 1/3/5, 1/3/6
ICX 7750-48F 1/2/5, 1/2/6, 1/3/5, 1/3/6 1/2/5, 1/2/6, 1/3/5, 1/3/6
ICX 7750-48C 1/2/5, 1/2/6, 1/3/5, 1/3/6 1/2/5, 1/2/6, 1/3/5, 1/3/6
NOTE
Long-distance stacking ports are not default stacking ports. If you are using only long-distance stacking ports, you cannot use the stack secure-setup utility to configure your stack because the secure-setup utility probes for other potential stack members only on default stacking ports.

LR optics can be used on ICX 7450 4X10-Gbps ports when a 4X10GF module is installed. LR optics can support distances up to 10 kilometers for data or stacking. Long-distance stacking with LR optics is supported on front panel ports 1/2/1 through 1/2/4. The following table summarizes LR support on the ICX 7450.

Table 5 FastIron long-distance 4X10-Gbps ports
Product and model 10-Gbps ports that support LR optics Long-distance stacking ports
ICX 7450 front (all models, with 4X10GF module) 1/2/1 through 1/2/4 1/2/1 through 1/2/4
ICX 7450 back (all models, with 4X10GF module) 1/3/1 through 1/3/4 and 1/4/1 through 1/4/4 (data only) 1/3/1 through 1/3/4 and 1/4/1 through 1/4/4
