Stack Error with 2 GSM7328Sv1

Hi there,

in our company we have two GSM7328Sv1 Switches which we want to stack. We have four AX742 modules, two for each switch. When I try to put them in a stack following happens:

The stack seems to be working, the management interface shows the second switch, I can see port statistics for every port and so on. The stacking seems to work, even the menu point stacking in the UI doesn´t show any errors or failure. But when I want to transfer a file from a device connected to switch 2 to a device connected to switch 1 [and vice versa] the data rate drops and I get "Total Receive Errors" at the stacking menu. The counter rises as long as the file is transferred.

The Firmware is the same [8.0.3.49] and I don´t know what to do now :/

I´ve tried the following: Use only one stacking module, use another cable, switch the modules...none of this worked.

So maybe someone here knows what to do?

Thanks in advance
Simon

  • Yeah I tested that, brought up the working switch and then added a third one [both of them] but both got errors. An interesting thing was, that normally I can see the equipped modules at the advanced stacking overview menu point, but regardless which switch I attached as third, it didn´t show the information for the third switch.

    Last thing I tested was the working stack with my new cables at least with one of them [3m AXC763 CX4 cable] and it gave me errors, too, but it would be a too big coincidence if all of my three cables were faulty...don´t know what to test anymore..
