Building A Stack - Avaya G700 Installing And Upgrading

One RJ45/RS232 front panel console connector that is used for both terminal and modem
●
sessions.
Three fan units with operation sensors for each switch.
●
One virtual IP address for managing the whole stack that allows the C360 stack to be
●
managed as a single entity.
The ability to hot-swap one switch at a time by activation of the redundant cable:
●
- Does not disrupt the operation of other Avaya C360 switches.
- Does not change stack configuration.
- Does not require network downtime.
Connection through Telnet from the front panel ports of any switch:
●
- Multiple levels of password protection
- Login and inactivity timeouts

Building a stack

Follow the guidelines in this section in order to build a working stack certified using any
combination of the following devices:
P330 series
●
P330-ML series
●
G700
●
C360 series
●
1. Add only a single box at a time to an existing stack.
!
Important:
The stack master (also called "stack IP Agent") may fail to preserve existing
Important:
"stack configuration" if you will add more than a single device to an existing stack
at a time.
- After adding the first box, wait until the stack is functioning fully before adding the next
device.
2. Refer to
For example, if you wish to add a P332G-ML to a stack with C360 4.5 switches, the
P332G-ML switch must have firmware version 4.5.8.
- Upgrade/downgrade the firmware of switches that do not match version in the table.
Tip:
It is highly recommended to upgrade/downgrade before connecting the added
Tip:
box to an existing stack.
- Ensure switches of the same type have the same firmware version
Table 5 to see which firmware versions can be used in mixed stacks.
