GS980MX Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking

Command Summary
The following sections briefly describe the commands for configuring the
master and member switches for stacking with the 5Gbps ports. For
further instructions, refer to the Command Reference: GS980MX Series
Switches Running AlliedWare Plus v5.5.1 at www.alliedtelesis.com/
library. After reviewing the commands, go to “Configuring the Master
Switch” on page 167 to start the configuration procedures.
STACKPORT This command designates the ports of the stack trunk. After you enter the
command, the designated ports stop functioning as regular Ethernet ports
and function instead as the stack trunk.
For example, If you are using the SFP+ ports 27 and 28 of GS980MX/
28PSm as the stack trunk, you do not have to perform this command
because those ports are the default trunk ports. However, if you want to
use the 5 Gbps ports as trunk ports, you have to designate them with this
command. Refer to Table 20 on page 154 for a list of the default and
optional trunk ports.
The command is performed in the Interface mode of the selected ports.
GS980MX/10HSm
– In this example, the optional stacking ports 7 to 8 are
designated as the stack trunk:
GS980MX/18HSm
– In this example, the optional stacking ports 15 to 16
are designated as the stack trunk:
GS980MX/28PSm
– In this example, the optional stacking ports 23 to 24
are designated as the stack trunk:
