Configuring the
Master Switch -
Part I
To designate the trunk ports on the master switch, start by performing the
procedure in Table 24.
Table 24. Configuring the Master Switch to Use Gigabit or Multi-speed 5G Ports as the Stack Trunk -
Part I
Step Description and Command
1 Power on the switch to be the master switch and start a local management session.
Any x530 Switch can be the master switch of a stack. Refer to “Starting a
Management Session” on page 138.
2 Enter the ENABLE and CONFIGURE TERMINAL commands to move to the Global
Configuration mode.
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
awplus(config)#
Steps 3 and 4 remove SFP+ S1 and S2 ports as the default trunk ports. You can use the ports
as regular networking ports.
3 Enter the Interface modes for the default SFP+ S1 and S2 trunk ports on the master
switch. The default trunk ports are the two highest numbered ports on the switches.
This example assumes that the switch is a 28-port switch:
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.27-1.0.28
% port1.0.27 is currently configured as a stack-port. Use caution
when altering its config.
% port1.0.28 is currently configured as a stack-port. Use caution
when altering its config.
4 Remove the ports as trunk ports and convert them into regular Ethernet ports with the
NO STACKPORT command:
awplus(config-if)# no stackport
% Save the config and restart the system for this change to take
effect.
