Chapter 1: Overview Terminal Port The terminal port is used to establish a local (out-of-band) management session with the switch. You establish a local management session by connecting a terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the port. The terminal port has an RJ-45 style connector.
Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Power Over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) The following section applies to x600-24Ts-POE and x600-24Ts-POE+ Gigabit Ethernet switches only. The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the x600-24Ts-POE switch feature Power over Ethernet (PoE), defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Chapter 1: Overview Power is injected on the Ethernet cabling along with data by Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), like an Ethernet LAN switch or router. The IEEE 802.3af, Power over Ethernet specification can provide up to 15.4 watts of power at the PSE. A PD under the IEEE 802.3af specification can use no more than 12.95 watts.
Enhanced PoE delivers between 15.4W and 20W at 48VDC. Enhanced PoE is supported on x600-24Ts-POE, x600-24Ts-POE+ switches. Up to 18 x ports can be configured for Enhanced PoE on x600-24Ts-POE and x600-24Ts-POE+ switches, compared to up to 24 x ports that can be configured for PoE.
SFP combo port. Power Capacity The PSU in the x600-24Ts-POE supplies enough power for the switch itself and for PoE provision for all PoE capable switch ports. However, the PSU in the x600-24Ts-POE+ supplies enough power for the switch itself and enough power is available for PoE+ provision for 12 of the 24 PoE+ capable switch ports.
However, the maximum possible PoE+ power requirement (24 ports x 30W ~ 720 watts) is above the maximum amount of power available (370W) for the PSU installed in the x600-24Ts-POE+. This means that you can connect powered devices to 12 ports on the x600-24Ts-POE+ switch...
AT-RPS3204 Redundant Power Supply, shown in Figure 21. The RPS connector on the x600-24Ts-POE switch connects to the optional AT-RPS3104 Redundant Power Supply (not shown). Both RPS units can provide power to their respective switches in the event of a failure of the switch’s internal power supply.

Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking VCStack Introduction A Virtual Chassis Stack (VCStack) is a group of physically separate switches that are connected so as to function as a single logical switch. In order to function as a VCStack, its component switches are connected using high-speed stacking links.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Modules, Cables, and Connections VCS Stacking The stacks are connected via the stacking ports on the VCS Stacking Modules (AT-StackXG), which are installed in the back of each switch. The following cables are used to connect the stacking ports of x600 series switches: High Speed Stacking Cables (0.5 meter) - StackXG/0.5 High Speed Stacking Cables (1.0 meter) - StackXG/1...
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Ring Configuration A virtual stack using x600 switches can comprise up to 4 stack members connected in a ring topology. Figure 25 shows a ring comprising 3 stacked x600 series switches.

Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Resiliency Link Two resiliency-link configurations that connect to switch ports are shown below:Figure 26 shows the resiliency link connecting in a ring topology, Configurations whilst Figure 27 shows the resiliency link connecting to its switch ports via via Switch Ports a network hub.
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.
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 59
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 management VLAN ID and IP address, use the SHOW STACK command. Stack Member Identification When a switch becomes a member of a VCS Stack it is assigned a Stack Member-ID. Stack status information is displayed on the STACK LEDs shown on the switch’s front panel shown in Figure 28.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide State Description (Continued) 1- L/A Solid Link on stacking port 1 is active. Green Green Indicates traffic flowing through stacking port 1 Flashing Green OFF Link on stacking port 1 is inactive. 2- L/A Solid Link on stacking port 2 is active.
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.
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 64
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.
