Using Aruba Central, I am trying (unsuccessfully) to add a member to a VSF stack that currently has just the conductor CX6200F (R8Q72A).  The second switch is the same model and firmware version (10.11.1021).  I have tried auto-stacking using port 13 (GigE) and port 15 (10G SFP) but both failed to sync the second 6200F with the stack.

For this model 6200F, the documentation does not specify which ports support auto-stacking so I guessed twice and failed both times.

This is what my setup looks like now, after detaching and reattaching the license subscription from the second switch that I want to add to the stack. Questions:

1.  What ports should I be using for auto-stacking on these devices?
2.  What to do next?

This is what I followed to try to do this before reaching out for help.

Just note that "R8Q72A" 6200-12G can only be stacked with its exact model not with 6200-24/48 port switch.

Is your existing VSF stack also R8Q72A switches?

Thanks. Both switches are the same model and running the same firmware (aos-cx 10.13).

I currently have port 13 on the conductor connected to port 14 on the member switch.

Please try to make a stack with the same speed port on 10G without 1G.

Make sure the second switch has not been configured.
