Solved - ICX8200 stack, how to change single vlan port on switch 5 of stack

[digital8]

I have a stack of 5 ICX8200 switches and need to change the vlan of a single port from vlan 10 to vlan 1 but this port is on the 5th switch of the stack, how do i jump to the 5th switch to make this change.?

Second question once the change has been made do i need to save the flash om switch 5 (the one i'm making the changes on) or om the Active (primary) switch of the stack.?

Hi Digital8,

Thank you for posting your query!

I understand that you have a stack of five ICX8200 switches and would like to change the VLAN of a single port from VLAN 10 to VLAN 1. The port in question is on the 5th switch of the stack, and you’d like to know how to access that switch to make the change and where to save the configuration afterward.

Even though you have a stack of five switches, you only need to log in to the stack master (active switch). You don’t need to directly access the 5th switch. You can simply target a specific unit’s port using its unit/slot/port notation.

Example:

If the port is on unit 5, port 1/1/10, use the command below:

interface ethernet 5/1/10

From the active switch CLI, you can then make the VLAN change as required.

There is no need to jump to unit 5, as the stack management plane controls all member switches.

When configuration changes are made on any stack member, they are stored in the running configuration of the stack master.

Therefore, you only need to save the configuration on the active (primary) switch using:

write memory

I hope this information helps.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Hi Digital8

Thank you for reaching us 

Adding to the post, On a Ruckus ICX switch stack, each port is labeled using three numbers: stack ID / slot / port

Here’s what each number means:

• Stack ID: This tells you which switch in the stack the port belongs to. The first switch is usually number 1.
• Slot: This shows where the port is located on the switch. Most regular ports are in slot 1. Special ports (like stacking ports) might be in slot 2 or 3.
• Port: This is the actual port number.

Example:

• 1/2/1 means: port 1 on slot 2 of switch number 1
