Page 74: Overview Of Stack Ports
Chapter 7: Configuring the Master Switch Overview of Stack Ports The x540L series switch has the Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) feature that you can build a stack trunk. The ports marked S1 and S2 on the switch can be used for VCStack. In addition, any twisted-pair ports can be used for VCStack. -
Page 75: Command Summary
This command is used to configure ports S1 and S2 on the switch for the SFP/SFP+ transceiver. PORTMODE INTERFACE Allied Telesis recommends configuring these ports during the initial configuration procedure even if they will not be used for the stack trunk. The command format is shown here: platform portmode interface ports 10g The variables are defined here: The PORTS variable specifies the ports to be configured. -
Page 76: Stack Enable
As with priority numbers, the lower the MAC address, the higher the priority. A switch can have only one priority number. Allied Telesis recommends making a switch’s priority and ID numbers the same. This is not required, but it can make managing and troubleshooting a stack easier. -
Page 77: Stack Renumber
This example changes the switch’s ID from the default 1 to 2: awplus(config)# stack 1 renumber 2 SWITCH To ensure that the first power-on of the stack is successful, Allied Telesis recommends configuring the units such that each unit knows about the PROVISION others prior to forming the stack. -
