Chapter 8: Stacking with Non-default Trunk Ports
106
Introduction
This chapter explains how to build a stack with two trunk ports other than
the default ports 15/S1 and 16/S2. As explained in “Stack Trunk” on
page 38, you can use the default ports for the trunk or choose the ports
yourself. Directions on how to use the default ports are provided in
Chapter 7, “Stacking with the Default Trunk Ports” on page 91.
Here are the procedures to building a stack with non-default trunk ports:
1. “Verifying the Status of VCStack” on page 85.
2. “Displaying the AlliedWare Plus Version Number” on page 88.
3. “Configuring the Master Switch” on page 110.
4. “Configuring the Member Switch” on page 118.
5. “Cabling the Trunk Ports” on page 126.
6. “Powering on the Stack” on page 127
7. “Verifying the Stack” on page 129
The procedures should be performed in the order above. Allied Telesis
recommends reviewing “Command Summary” on page 107 before
performing procedures 3 and 4.
You need to select the following before configuring the switches:
Which switch will be the master switch? It can be either switch.
Refer to “Master and Member Switches” on page 43.
Which two ports on each switch will be the trunk ports? Refer to
“Stack Trunk” on page 38.
Allied Telesis recommends using the “Stacking Worksheet” on page 45
during the procedures.
If you have already connected network cables to the trunk ports,
disconnect them before continuing. Cabling the trunk ports before
configuring the switches may result in loops in your network
topology, which can cause poor network performance.
