Planning The Stack - Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x908 GEN2 Installation Manual

Planning the Stack

Here are factors to consider when planning a stack:
 How many SBx908 GEN2 Chassis will be in the stack? The
maximum is four chassis.
 Which line cards will have the trunk ports?

How many trunk links will there be between switches? The
maximum number varies by Ethernet line card. Refer to Table 15
on page 57.
 Which ports on the line cards will be the trunk links? Refer to
"Stack Trunk" on page 52.
 Do all the switches have the same version of the AlliedWare Plus
management software, preferably v5.4.8-0.2 or later? Instructions
in Chapter 6, "Configuring Switches for Stacking" on page 149
explain how to verify this information.
 Have you selected ID numbers, in the range of 1 to 4, for the
switches? Refer to "Switch ID Numbers" on page 69.
