Command
This section describes the AlliedWare Plus commands for configuring
master and member switches to use Gigabit Copper, Multi-speed Copper
or Gigabit SFP as the stack trunk. For further instructions, refer to the
Command Reference: x530 Series Switches Running AlliedWare Plus
Version 5.5.0 at www.alliedtelesis.com/library. After reviewing the
commands, go to "Configuring the Master Switch" on page 154 to start the
configuration procedures.
You use this command in the Global Configuration mode of the AlliedWare
Plus software to enable and disable the VCStack feature on the switch. It
has these formats:
STACK ENABLE: This command enables VCStack on the switch.

This is the default.
NO STACK <ID> ENABLE: This command disables VCStack. You

can use the switch as a standalone unit when the feature is
disabled.
You use this command in the port interface modes of the AlliedWare Plus
software to add and remove ports from the stack trunk. Here are its two
forms:
STACKPORT: You use this command to add ports to the stack

trunk.
NO STACKPORT: You use this command to remove ports from

the stack trunk and return them to regular Ethernet networking
ports.
This command is used to set a switch's priority value. Every switch in a
stack has a priority value. The range is 0 to 255. The default is 128. The
lower the number, the higher the priority. Switches use their priority
settings for the following functions:
Select the master switch when the switches are powered on or

rebooted simultaneously.
Designate the order in which they become the master switch if the

active master switch stops responding. If the switches have the
same priority value, they use their MAC addresses to select the
master. The lower the MAC address, the higher the priority.
Allied Telesis recommends setting the priority numbers to match the
switch ID numbers. For example, the switch with ID 1 should be assigned
priority 1, switch with ID 2 should be assigned priority 2, and so on. This is
not a requirement, but it can make managing and troubleshooting the
stack easier.
