Planning the Stack
Here are factors to consider when planning a stack:
 How many x530 Series switches will be in the stack? The
maximum number of switches depends on the type of trunk ports.
Trunks of 10Gbps SFP+ or 5Gbps multi-speed ports support up to
eight switches. Trunks of 1Gbps copper or SFP ports support up to
four switches.
 The maximum number of switches depends on the type of trunk
ports. Trunks of 10Gbps SFP+ or 5Gbps multi-speed ports support
up to eight switches. Trunks of 1Gbps copper or SFP ports support
up to four switches.
 If you are using the SFP+ ports for the trunk, have you determined
the required number of SFP+ transceivers or SP10TW direct
attach cables? Refer to Figure 19 on page 65 and Figure 20 on
page 67.
 Have you selected a master switch? This can be any switch. If the
switches has different versions of the AlliedWare Plus
management software, the master switch should have the most
recent version. Refer to “Master and Member Switches” on
page 78.
 Have you selected the ID numbers? The range depends on the
type of trunk ports. The range is 1 to 8 for stacks that use 10Gbps
SFP+ or 5Gbps multi-speed ports for the trunk. The range is 1 to 4
for stacks that use 1Gbps copper or SFP ports for the trunk. Refer
to “Switch ID Numbers” on page 80.
 If you are building a mixed stack of x530L switches and one or
more x530 or x530DP switches, have you obtained stack mixed-
mode licenses for the units?
