| 摘要 | Techniques for simplifying stacking trunk creation and management are provided. In one embodiment, a switch in a stacking system can receive first and second control packets from one or more other switches in the stacking system, where the first and second control packets are received on first and second stacking ports of the switch respectively. The switch can then determine, based on the first and second control packets, whether the first and second stacking ports can be configured as a single stacking trunk. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method comprising: receiving, by a switch in a stacking system, first and second control packets from one or more other switches in the stacking system, the first and second control packets being received on first and second stacking ports of the switch respectively; and determining, by the switch based on the first and second control packets, that there is an incorrect physical connection in a physical topology of the stacking system that prevents the first and second stacking ports from being configured as a single stacking trunk, wherein determining that there is an incorrect physical connection comprises determining that the first and second control packets were transmitted by different switches in the stacking system. | ||
