    AT-IE510-28GSX Installation Guide Stacking Slots for VCStack The front panel of the switch contains four SFP+ slots. Slots 27 and 28 can be used to build a VCStack of up to four switches. The switches of a VCStack act as a single virtual unit. They synchronize their actions so that switching operations, like spanning tree protocols, virtual LANs, and static port trunks, span across all the units and ports.

  • Page 24: Alarm Ports

    Chapter 1: Overview Alarm Ports The switch contains two alarm ports: One for alarm input and one for alarm output. Each alarm port contains three contact points. The alarm ports use RJ-45 connectors. To connect either the alarm input or alarm output, use 24 to 18 AWG cable properly rated for the deployment environment.

  • Page 37: Stacking Slots

    AT-IE510-28GSX Installation Guide Stacking Slots The switch comes with two stacking slots. The slots are the last two SFP+ slots on the switches and are labeled “S1/27” and “S2/28” on the switch. The slots have two functions. You can use them with the VCStack feature to build a stack of switches, or you can disable the VCStack feature and use them as additional networking slots.

  • Page 38: Stacking Port Topologies

    Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Stacking Port Topologies There are two possible wiring topologies when you use the S1/27 and S2/ 28 slots to build a VCStack. The first topology is called the linear topology. In this topology the switches are connected with a single pathway. A transceiver in one switch is connected to a transceiver in the next switch, which is connected to the next switch, and so on.

  • Page 39: Figure 11: Stack Of Four Switches In The Linear Topology

    AT-IE510-28GSX Installation Guide Figure 11. Stack of Four Switches in the Linear Topology The second topology is called a ring topology. It is similar to the linear topology, except that the unused stacking ports on the end switches of the stack are connected to form a physical loop.

  • Page 40: Figure 12: Stack Of Two Switches In The Ring Topology

    AT-IE510-28GSX Installation Guide Figure 13. Stack of Four Switches in the Ring Topology The topologies are the same in terms of network speed and performance. However, the ring topology is the recommended wiring configuration because of the secondary path through the stacking ports. The two pathways protect the switches of the stack against the loss of communications due to a failure of a stacking port, cable, or switch.

  • Page 42: Master And Member Switches

    Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Master and Member Switches The stack has one master switch. The functions of the master switch include:  Coordinating and monitoring stack operations.  Verifying that the switches are using the same version of management software. It automatically downloads its management software over the stacking cables to switches with different software versions.

  • Page 43: Id Numbers

    AT-IE510-28GSX Installation Guide ID Numbers Each switch must be assigned an ID number. The range is 1 to 4 and the default is 1. The ID numbers are displayed on the ID LEDs on the front panels of the units. You can assign the numbers yourself or you can let the master switch assign the numbers automatically.

    Otherwise, perform “Powering On the Switches Simultaneously” on page 108 to have the switches assign the numbers automatically. After the ID numbers are assigned, you may change them with the STACK RENUMBER command, described in the AT-IE510-28GSX Command Reference on AlliedTelesis.com. Note You should not change the ID numbers of the switches after you begin to configure the parameter settings.

    Chapter 10: Powering On the Stack Powering On the Switches Individually This procedure explains how you can control the assignment of the ID numbers of the switches by powering on the units one at a time during the initial power-on sequence. The first switch is assigned ID number 1, the next unit is assigned ID number 2, and so on.
