D-Link DGS-3 20 Series How To Set Up

Stack on switch

How to set up the Stack on DGS-3x20 Switch Series

Physical stacking is only supported and working within the same Switch family (f.e. DGS-3420-Series, DGS-

3620-Series, DGS-3120-Series, DGS-1510-Series,..).

Stacking also ONLY works when using 10GBit/s (or in some cases 120GBit/s) connections.

For the DGS-3120-Series the Stacking Ports are located on the BACK of the switch and have an Infiniband

connector.

For all other Stackable Series like DGS-1510, DGS-3420, DGS-3620, DGS-3630, DXS-3400 the Stacking ports

are always the last 2 10GBit Ports.

For the DXS-3600 Series you need a dedicated 120GBit XFP Stacking module and commands. Please refer to

the dedicated manual and datasheet.

We recommend the build of a "RING" stack for stability purposes when using 3 or more devices in a stack.

Alternatively you also can set up a "DUPLEX CHAIN" stack with the lack of redundancies.

Page 2 Usually the way to initial set up the stack is as follows (quick and simple) set up the stack devices, but do NOT connect the stacking cables turn on all devices and connect to the first on by Console connect to them via console program like PUTTY (COMx, 115200 baud , 8N1) enter command “config stacking_mode enable”...
