You can conserve electricity by turning off the LEDs when you are not monitoring the device. When the LEDs are turned off, the switch is operating in the low power eco-friendly mode.
Switch ID LED The Switch ID LED, shown in Figure 9, is for the VCStack feature for the x330-20GTX, x330-28GTX, and x330-52GTX Switches. You can manage up to six switches as a single unit. This simplifies network management and allows you to add redundancy to your network topology by distributing functions across multiple switches.
Chapter 1: Overview Note The x330-10GTX Switch does not support the VCStack feature. It operates as a standalone device with the Switch ID “0”. Note If the Switch ID LED displays “F” for a fault condition, use the SHOW SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT command in the command line interface of the AlliedWare Plus management software to identify the source of the problem.

Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Overview The Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) feature allows you connect up to six x330-20GTX, x330-28GTX, and x330-52GTX Switches into a virtual stack so that they function as a single networking unit. Here are some of the VCStack benefits: Simplifies management - You can manage the devices as a single ...
x330 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Stacking Guidelines Here are general VCStack guidelines: A stack can have up to six switches. The switches can be the same or different x330 Switch models. VCStack comes standard with the AlliedWare Plus management ...
The x330 Switches do not support the 7-meter SP10TW7 cable. The fiber optic transceivers or direct attach cables for the trunk must be from Allied Telesis. For a list of supported transceivers, refer to the product’s data sheet on the Allied Telesis web site.
As illustrated, the trunk cables can crossover to different SFP+ ports S1 and S2 on the switches or connect the same ports. The illustrations show the x330-28GTX Switch. The same rules apply to the x330-20GTX and x330-52GTX Switches. Crossover Straight-through Figure 12.
Straight-through Figure 14. Stack Trunks of SFP+ Ports S1 and S2 for Four Switches Stacks can have x330-20GTX, x330-28GTX, and x330-52GTX Switches. The stack in Figure 15 has two x330-20GTX Switches (top), one x330- 28GTX Switch, and one x330-52GTX Switch (bottom).
The switches also support the linear or chain configuration for the trunk, where the top and bottom switches are not linked together. Refer to Figure 16 for an example. Allied Telesis does not recommend this configuration because it does not provide redundancy should a trunk link fail.

Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Master and Member Switches Stacks must have a master switch. It coordinates and monitors stack operations, and assigns switch ID numbers during the initial formation of the stack and when new switches are added. The other switches of the stack are referred to as member switches.
x330 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Switch ID Numbers Each switch in the stack must have an ID number. The range is 1 to 6. The default is 1. The ID numbers are displayed on the ID LEDs on the front panels of the units.
The switches might have additional features that are unlocked with feature licenses from Allied Telesis. Refer to the product’s data sheet on the Allied Telesis website for a list of feature licenses. Here are feature license guidelines: VCStack is part of the base features of x330 Switches.
x330 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Planning the Stack Here are questions to answer before building the stack: How many switches will be in the stack?

Chapter 8 Displaying the Hardware Status and AlliedWare Plus Version Number The procedures in this section explain how to start local management sessions on the switches to verify their hardware status and display the version numbers of the AlliedWare Plus management software. Allied Telesis recommends performing these procedures on each switch individually before building the stack.
Chapter 8: Displaying the Hardware Status and AlliedWare Plus Version Number Powering On the Switch The illustrations in this procedure show the North American power cord. Your power cord may look different. For AC power specifications, refer to “Power Specifications” on page 167. Warning Power cord is used as a disconnection device.

Chapter 10: Building Stacks with Multi-Gigabit Copper Ports Introduction As explained in “Stack Trunks” on page 46, the switches of a stack are connected by a physical link of two ports on each unit. There are two ways to build the trunk on x330 Switches. One way is with the SFP+ ports S1 and S2, the default trunk ports.
x330 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Command Summary This section describes the AlliedWare Plus commands for configuring the Multi-Gigabit copper ports as the stack trunk on the master and member switches. For further instructions, refer to the Software Reference for x330 Switch, AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
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 it easier to manage the stack.
This example changes a switch’s current ID from 1, the default, to 2: awplus(config)# stack 1 renumber 2 Note Allied Telesis does not recommend changing the ID numbers of the switches after you begin configuring their parameter settings. Otherwise, the master switch might assign parameter settings to the wrong switches the next time you power on or reset the stack.
This example adds a x330-28GTX Switch as a provisioned member switch with the ID 3 to the master switch: awplus(config)# switch 3 provision x330-28 This example adds a x330-52GTX Switch as a provisioned member switch with the ID 4 to the master switch: awplus(config)# switch 4 provision x330-52...
Note Any x330-20GTX , x330-28GTX, or x330-52GTX Switch can be the master switch of the stack. Here are the procedures: “General Steps for the Master Switch,” next ...
Chapter 10: Building Stacks with Multi-Gigabit Copper Ports Here are the main steps to Part II: 1. Add the member switches as provisioned units to the configuration of the master switch, with the SWITCH PROVISION command. 2. Remove the default SFP+ S1 and S2 ports from the stack trunk on the provisioned member switches with the NO STACKPORT command.
