Configuring The Master Switch - Allied Telesis x530 Series Installation Manual

Chapter 8: Building the Stack with Gigabit or 5G Multi-speed Ports

Configuring the Master Switch

154
This section contains the procedures for configuring x530 Switches to be
the master switch of a stack. The procedures designate the Gigabit copper
or 5G Multi-speed copper ports as the stack trunk. You can also use this
procedure to designate the Gigabit SFP ports on the x530-28GSX switch
as the trunk. This procedure also adds the member switches as
provisioned switches to the configuration of the master switch.
Note
Any x530 Switch can be the master switch of the stack.
Here are the procedures:

The procedures should be performed in the order presented here.

be lost if its ports are connected to active networks.
Allied Telesis recommends filling out the "Stacking Worksheet" on
page 87 before building the stack.
