Stack Trunks of 1Gbps Copper Ports
The 10Gbps SFP+ ports are not the only ports you can use for a trunk of a
stack. If you prefer to use the 10Gbps ports for other functions you can
use the 1Gbps copper ports for the trunk instead. You can use from two to
eight 1Gbps copper ports per switch for the trunk. As with a trunk based
on 10Gbps SFP+ ports, the more ports a trunk has, the greater its
bandwidth.
Here are the guidelines for trunks of 1Gbps copper ports:
 Stacks can have up to four x530 Switches.
 Trunks can have up to eight copper ports per switch.
 Switches must have the same number of trunk ports.
 The stack will be easier to manage if you use the same 1Gbps
copper ports as the trunk on all the switches.
 Stacks with trunks of 1Gbps copper ports cannot contain x530-
28GSX Switches because they do not have copper ports.To build
stacks of x530-28GSX Switches with other x530 models, use
SFP+ ports for the trunk instead.
 Trunk ports are designated with the STACKPORT command.
 Once ports are designated as trunk ports, you cannot view or
change their parameter settings.
