Planning the Stack
Here are factors to consider when planning a stack:
Have you selected the stack ports for the trunk? The default stack
ports are 10Gbps ports. Refer to “Stack Trunks” on page 61.
How many x530L switches will be in the stack? The maximum is
eight switches.
Have you determined the required number of SFP+ transceivers or
SP10TW direct attach cables for the trunk? Refer to Figure 23 on
page 65 and Figure 25 on page 68.
Have you selected a master switch? This can be any switch. If the
switches have different versions of the AlliedWare Plus
management software, the master switch should have the most
recent version. Refer to “Selection of the Master Switch” on
page 76.
Have you selected ID numbers, in the range of 1 to 8, for the
switches? You can control the ID number assignments by the order
in which you initially power on the switches, or you can have the
switches assign the numbers automatically. Refer to “Switch ID
Numbers” on page 78 and “Powering On the Switches Individually”
on page 144.
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?
Have you already connected network cables to the trunk ports? If
so, you should disconnect them before configuring the switches for
stacking.
