The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the x600-24Ts-POE switch feature Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a mechanism for supplying power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables used to carry network traffic.

  • Page 42: Implementation

    Chapter 1: Overview The x600-24Ts-POE smart power management functionality supports any combination of Ethernet ports (1-24) that supply power for IEEE 802.3af Class 0, 1, 2, or 3 powered devices up to a maximum of 370 watts, as described in Table 9. Table 9.
  • Page 43 x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide IEEE 802.3af compliant PD’s typically support both power delivery methods. So long as a PD conforms with the standard, it should be able to receive its power from the switch with either a straight or cross-over cable. The PoE feature on the x600-24Ts-POE Gigabit Ethernet Switch will work with legacy PD’s as long as the device can be powered on pins 1, 2, 3, and 6.

    x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Resilient Stacked Where network connectivity uptime is a major criteria, you can use virtual chassis stacking to create highly reliable network configurations. Topology Employing link aggregation rather than spanning tree to manage the parallel paths, enables the bandwidth of both data links to be utilized under normal conditions, whilst enabling a single data link to operate should its partner link fail.

  • Page 56: Stack Formation

    Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Stack Formation A virtual chassis stack (VCS) always contains a master plus a number of stack members. To be part of a stack, a switch must connect to other potential stack members via dedicated stacking ports on the VCS Stacking module located in the rear of the switch.
  • Page 57 x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Note The ability to independently set both a stack member’s priority and its ID means that the stack master does not need to have an ID of 1; although configuration is simplified by arranging for ID 1 to be the device with the lowest priority value - and thereby forcing it to be the stack master.

    Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking VCS Failure If the stack master fails or is removed, the other stack members decide which of two actions to take: Recovery 1. Fallback action. 2. Re-elect a new stack master. Note The master fail-over process will be slower than a stack member failure, and will require the restart (reconvergence) of routing protocols such as RIP.

  • Page 61: Stack Maintenance

    x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Stack An operational stack configuration may require occasional maintenance when you need to add, replace or repairing a broken stack stub. Maintenance Adding a Stack Member An unstacked switch can be added to an existing stack (hot swapped in) with minimal impact on traffic.
  • Page 62 Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking detected. This situation results in the re-election of one stack master and the re-integration of the stack into one entity. The losing master will return to being a stack member in this process.
