Chapter 8: Building the Stack with Gigabit or 5G Multi-speed Ports
150
Introduction
This chapter contains instructions on building a stack using the following
ports as the trunk:
Gigabit Copper ports
5G Multi-speed copper ports
SFP Gigabit ports on the AT-x530-28GSX Switch
For further information, refer to “Stack Trunks of 5Gbps Copper Ports” on
page 69.
Here are the general steps:
1. Fill in “Stacking Worksheet” on page 87.
2. Review “Command Summary” on page 151.
3. Perform “Configuring the Master Switch” on page 154.
4. Perform “Configuring Member Switches” on page 163.
5. Perform “Powering on the Stack” on page 170
6. Perform “Verifying the Stack” on page 171
Review the following information before performing the instructions:
Perform the procedures in the order presented here.
The master switch can be any x530 Switch. Refer to “Master and
Member Switches” on page 78.
If network cables are connected to the Gigabit ports that will be the
trunk, disconnect them before continuing. You should configure the
switches before cabling the trunk ports.
Note
Cabling the ports of the stack trunk before configuring the switches
can result in loops in your network topology, which can cause poor
network performance.
