(PD). Examples include wireless access points, IP telephones, webcams, and even other Ethernet switches. The x530DP Series switch automatically determines whether devices connected to its ports are powered devices. Ports that are connected to network nodes that are not powered devices (that is, devices that receive their power from another power source) function as regular Ethernet ports, without PoE.
Page 37: Powered Device Classes
Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Powered Device Powered devices are grouped into the seven classes listed in Table 7. The classes are based on the amount of power the devices require. The switch Classes supports all seven classes.
Page 38: Table 9: Power Budgets Of The Pwr800 Power Supply

SFP+ transceivers and direct attach cables used for a stack trunk  must be from Allied Telesis. Switches will not form a stack with transceivers from other network equipment providers. For a list of supported transceivers, refer to the product data sheet on the Allied Telesis web site.
Page 52 Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking On a 52-port switch with multi-speed ports, it is possible to create  one stack link (maximum bandwidth 20Gbps) group with 4 ports (41 to 44) and one stack link (maximum bandwidth 20Gbps) group with 4 ports (45 to 48). The maximum bandwidth of the entire chassis unit is 20Gbps.
Page 53: Stack Trunks
Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Stack Trunks Stack trunks connect the switches of a stack together. A stack trunk consists of a minimum of two ports on each device. For switches with AlliedWare Plus v5.5.0-1 or later, you can choose two ports of the trunk.
Page 54: Stack Trunks Of Sfp+ 10Gbps Ports
SFP+ transceivers must be from Allied Telesis and be approved  for use in the product. For a list of supported 10Gbps SFP+ transceivers, refer to the product data sheet on the Allied Telesis web site. Note Transceivers are purchased separately.

Page 56: Figure 14: Stack Trunks Using Sfp+ Ports
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking In stacks of three or four x530DP Series switches the amount of inter- switch network traffic might require a stacking trunk with greater bandwidth than that provided by the default ports. For such situations the additional ports can also be used as trunk ports.
Page 57: Figure 15: 10Gbps Stack Trunk With Both Sfp+ Fiber Optic Transceivers And Sp10Tw Direct Connect Cables
Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking 10Gbps stack trunks can have both fiber optic transceivers and SP10TW direct attach cables. The example in Figure 15 illustrates a stack of four switches located in two separate buildings. SP10TW direct attach cables connect switches that are in the same wiring closet while fiber optic transceivers connect the switches across the buildings.
Page 58: Stack Trunks Of 5Gbps Twisted Pair Ports
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Stack Trunks of 5Gbps Twisted Pair Ports The 10Gbps SFP+ ports are not the only ports you can use for a trunk of a stack. If you prefer to use the 10Gbps ports for other functions you can use the 5Gbps twisted pair ports for the trunk instead.
Page 59: Figure 16: Trunks Of 5Gbps Ports For Stacks Of Two Switches
Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking A trunk of 5Gbps ports for a stack of two switches can have two or more links per switch. As mentioned previously, the more links in a trunk, the greater its bandwidth and resiliency. Examples are shown in Figure 16.

Page 62: Invalid Stack Trunks
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Invalid Stack Trunks Figure 19 through Figure 22 on page 63 show examples of invalid stack trunks. Example 1 Stack trunks must be direct links between trunk ports. There cannot be any intermediary networking devices, such as media converters, Ethernet switches, or routers, between trunk ports.
Page 63: Example 3
Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Example 3 Trunks must have the same number of physical links between switches. Figure 21 is invalid because the top and middle switches are connected with two links while the top and middle switches are connected to the bottom switch with only one link each.
Page 64: Master And Member Switches
 assigns new ID numbers to resolve situations where two or more switches have the same ID number. Verify that the stacking transceivers are from Allied Telesis and  they are cabled correctly. The parameter settings of the switches of the stack are stored in configuration files in the flash memories of the master and member switches.
Page 65 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking When switches have the same priority values, they compare their MAC addresses to select the master switch. As with the priority value, the lower the MAC address, the higher the priority. The switch with the lowest MAC address becomes the master switch.
Page 66: Switch Id Numbers
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Switch ID Numbers Each switch in a stack must have a unique ID number. The possible ID numbers depend on the version number of the AlliedWare Plus management software. The ID numbers 1 to 8 for the eight switches in a stack with AlliedWare Plus v5.5.1 or later.
Page 67: Optional Feature Licenses
Unlocking optional features requires licenses from Allied Telesis. For a list of optional feature licenses for the product, refer to its product sheet on the Allied Telesis web site. Here are the guidelines to feature licenses for a stack of x530DP Series switches: The VCStack feature is part of the base features of the switch.
Page 68: Mixed Switch Stacks
Mode Licenses from Allied Telesis and install the licenses on the switches. Switches of mixed stacks need the licenses to form the stacks. The different switch series have different stack mixed-mode licenses. To receive the correct type and number of licenses, be sure to specify the number of x530L, x530, and x530DP switches when ordering the licenses.
Page 69: Stack Mixed-Mode Commands
Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Stack Mixed- After installing the stack mixed-mode licenses, you have to enter the STACK MIXED-MODE command in the Global Configuration mode of the Mode Commands AlliedWare Plus operating system. The command designates the switches as part of a mixed stack.
Page 70 Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Mixed stacks do support the G8032 ring protection and continuous  PoE power licenses. If optional licenses are installed on the switches, all the units must  have the same licenses. Switches that have different feature licenses might still be able to form the stack, but the feature inconsistencies are logged and appear in the show license output.

Page 131: Stack Enable
A switch can have only one priority number. Allied Telesis recommends changing a switch’s priority number to match its ID number. For example, the switch with ID should be assigned priority 1, switch with ID 2 should be assigned priority 2, and so on. This is not required, but it can make managing and troubleshooting the stack easier.
Page 132: Stack Renumber
Chapter 9: Building the Stack Trunk with 5Gbps Multi-Speed Ports STACK Every switch in a stack must have a unique ID number. The range is 1 to 8. The default is 1. The master switch should use the default value. RENUMBER The number is set on the member switches with the STACK RENUMBER command.
