Stack Mixed-
Mode Commands
After installing the stack mixed-mode licenses, you have to enter the
STACK MIXED-MODE command in the Global Configuration mode of the
AlliedWare Plus operating system. The command designates the switches
as part of a mixed stack. When you issue this command on x530 series or
x530DP switches, they configure their base feature sets to match the
feature set in the base licenses in x530L switches.
Trunk Ports An important component of a stack is the trunk. These are the ports that
link the switches together. With the x530 and x530DP Switches, you can
choose the trunk ports from the SFP+ ports, 5Gbps multi-speed ports, and
1Gbps copper and SFP ports. The x530L Switches, however, do not have
5Gbps multi-speed or 1Gbps SFP ports. Consequently, trunks for x530L
Optional Licenses Here are guidelines for optional licenses in mixed stacks of x530L and
x530 and/or x530DP switches:
 Mixed stacks do not support premium licenses. Do not install
premium licenses on switches in mixed stacks.
 Mixed stacks do support the G8032 ring protection and continuous
PoE power licenses.
 All the switches in the stack must have the same optional licenses.
AlliedWare Plus Mixed stacks require AlliedWare Plus v5.4.9-0.1 and later.
Guidelines Here are the guidelines to building mixed stacks of x530L and x530 or
x530DP switches:

 The switches must have AlliedWare Plus v5.4.9-0.1 or later.
 You have to install stack mixed-mode licenses on all the switches.

the switches so that they operate with the same base set of
features.
 If you break-up a mixed stack or remove the x530L switches,
perform the NO STACK MIXED-MODE command on the x530 and
x530DP switches to restore their full feature sets.
 If you break-up a mixed stack or remove the x530L switches, you
can leave the stack mixed-mode licenses on the switches. They
will not interfere with switch operations.
 The STACK MIXED-MODE and NO STACK MIXED-MODE
commands require rebooting the switch.
 Mixed stacks do not support premium licenses.
