Stack Trunks of 5Gbps Copper Ports
The 10Gbps SFP+ ports S1 and S2 are not the only ports you can use for
a trunk of a stack. If you prefer to use the 10Gbps SFP+ ports for other
functions you can use the 5Gbps Multi-speed copper ports for the trunk
instead. You can use up to eight 5Gbps Multi-speed ports per switch for
the trunk. As with a trunk based on 10Gbps SFP+ ports, the more 5Gbps
Multi-speed ports a trunk has, the greater its bandwidth.
Here are the guidelines:
Requires AlliedWare Plus v5.5.1-1.2 or later.
Stacks can have up to eight switches.
Here are the Multi-speed ports.
– x530-10GHXm: 1 to 8
– x530-18GHXm: 1 to 16
– x530-28GTXm: 21 to 24
– x530-28GPXm: 21 to 24
– x530-52GTXm: 41 to 48
– x530-52GPXm: 41 to 48
You designate the stack ports with the STACKPORT command.
Once ports are designated as trunk ports, you cannot view or
change their parameter settings.
The ports have to stay at the default configurations.
