ELTEX MES53xx User Manual

MES53xx, MES33xx, MES23xx Ethernet Switch Series 35
 Backup (device UID 1 or 2) is controlled by the master. Replicates all settings, and takes over
stack management functions in case of the master device failure.
 Slave (device UID 3 or 8) is controlled by the master. Can't work in a standalone mode
(without a master device).
In this mode, MES5324 uses XLG ports for synchronization (other switches except MES2308 and
MES2308P use XG ports). MES2308 and MES2308P use 1G optical ports. These ports are not used for data
transmission. There are two topologies for device synchronisation: ring and linear. Ring topology is
recommended for increased stack robustness.
By default, switch is a wizard and XLG (XG) ports participate in data transmission.
Configuring the switch to operate in the stacking mode
Command line prompt is as follows:
console(config)#
Table 4.2. Basic commands
Command
Value/Default value
Action
stack configuration links
{fo1-4 | te1-4 | gi9-12}
-
Assign the interfaces to synchronize switch in the stack.
stack configuration unit-id
unit_id
unit_id: (1..8,
auto)/auto
Specify the device number unit-id to a local device (where the
command is executed). The device number change takes
effect after the switch is restarted.
no stack configuration
Remove stack settings.
stack unit unit_id
unit_id: (1..8, all)
Switch to configuring a stack unit.
Example
Configure MES5324 for operating in a stacking mode. Set as the second unit and use fo1-2
interfaces as stacking interfaces.
console#config
console(config)#stack configuration unit-id 2 links fo1-2
console(config)#
Privileged EXEC mode commands
Command line prompt is as follows:
console#
