Chapter 8: Building the Stack with Gigabit or 5G Multi-speed Ports

Configuring the Master Switch
This section contains the procedures for configuring x530 Switches to be
the master switch of a stack. The procedures designate the Gigabit copper
or 5G Multi-speed copper ports as the stack trunk. You can also use this
procedure to designate the Gigabit SFP ports on the x530-28GSX switch
as the trunk. This procedure also adds the member switches as
provisioned switches to the configuration of the master switch.
Note
Any x530 Switch can be the master switch of the stack.
Here are the procedures:
 “General Steps for the Master Switch,” next
 “Configuring the Master Switch - Part I” on page 156
 “Configuring the Master Switch - Part II” on page 158
 “Verifying the Master Switch” on page 160
 “What to Do Next” on page 162
The procedures should be performed in the order presented here.
Note
The procedures require reseting the switch. Some network traffic will
be lost if its ports are connected to active networks.
Allied Telesis recommends filling out the “Stacking Worksheet” on
page 87 before building the stack.
