Stacking

The 530T switch can be stacked with up to three 535T switches. Stacking
allows for a single point of management for all switches.

About a stack
• There can be only one 530T switch in a stack.
• The 530T switch requires the installation of a Stack Matrix Module
to stack it with a 535T. (Only one Stack Matrix Module is needed for
the entire stack.)
• The 530T can be stacked only with 535T switches.
• You can stack up to three 535T switches with a 530T.
• In a stack, the 530T is the control switch and the 535Ts are the
member switches.
• The member switches are all managed through the control switch's
management interface.
• There is only one IP address for the entire stack of switches (the
control switch's IP address).
• There can be only one instance of Spanning Tree, regardless of the
number of switches in the stack.
• Ports from any switch can be members of any VLAN.
• For link aggregation, the anchor ports are 1, 7, 15 for both the
control and member switches. You can also link aggregate the
module ports on the control switch (530T).
• You can only link aggregate ports on the same switch.
