Chapter 1: Overview Terminal Port The terminal port is used to establish a local (out-of-band) management session with the switch. You establish a local management session by connecting a terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the port. The terminal port has an RJ-45 style connector. An RJ-45 to RS-232 management cable is supplied with the switch.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Power Over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) The following section applies to x600-24Ts-POE and x600-24Ts-POE+ Gigabit Ethernet switches only. The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the x600-24Ts-POE switch feature Power over Ethernet (PoE), defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard. The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the x600-24Ts-POE+ switch feature Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), defined in the IEEE 802.3at standard.
Chapter 1: Overview PoE PoE+ Power is injected on the Ethernet cabling along with data by Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), like an Ethernet LAN switch or router. The IEEE 802.3af, Power over Ethernet specification can provide up to 15.4 watts of power at the PSE. A PD under the IEEE 802.3af specification can use no more than 12.95 watts.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Differences between PoE, PoE+ and Enhanced PoE There are three major differences between the IEEE 802.3af (PoE) specification and the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) specification, which allow for the higher wattage needed to power recent PDs. Additionally, Enhanced PoE is different to both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+): The IEEE 802.
Chapter 1: Overview Power Classes Once a PD is discovered, a PSE may optionally perform PD classification by applying a DC voltage to the port. If the PD supports optional power classification it will apply a load to the line to indicate to the PSE the classification the device requires. Since PDs may require differing power ranges, the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at Power Ethernet standards classifies PDs according to their power consumption.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide PSU installed in the x600-24Ts-POE. This means that you can connect powered devices to all of the ports on the x600-25Ts-POE switch (excluding optional expansion ports) without having to be concerned about exceeding the available power, even if all the PD's require the maximum 15.4 watts for PoE.
Chapter 1: Overview Redundant Power Supplies The RPS connector on an x600 Series switch rear panel can connect to an optional Redundant Power Supply module. The RPS connector on the x600-24Ts, x600-24Ts/XP, x600-48Ts, or x600-48Ts/XP switch can connect to the optional AT-RPS3204 Redundant Power Supply, shown in Figure 21. The RPS connector on the x600-24Ts-POE switch connects to the optional AT-RPS3104 Redundant Power Supply (not shown).
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide AT-LBM (Loop Back) Module The x600-48Ts/XP switch is shipped from the factory with an AT-LBM module installed in its expansion slot on the rear panel as shown in Figure 22.This module is factory installed for the non-stacking configuration. It provides the capability for a full line rate, nonblocking switching configuration when there are connections on the x600-48Ts/XP switch to all 44 copper ports, two SFP ports, and two XFP ports.
Chapter 1: Overview VCS Stacking Module A Virtual Chassis Stack (VCS) is a group of x600 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Series switches with a VCS Stacking module installed in each switch. The VCS Stacking module with its two full-duplex, 12 Gbps stacking ports, unifies the individual switches into a single, logical unit so that the network operations of the devices encompass all of the Gigabit Ethernet ports. This can simplify network management and augment network bandwidth.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide AC Power Connector The x600 switches have a single AC power supply socket on the rear panel, which has autoswitch AC inputs. To power the switch on or off, connect or disconnect the power cord. Refer to “Technical Specifications” on page 103 for the input voltage range.

Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking This chapter contains the following sections: “VCStackTM Introduction” on page 52 “Features of VCStacking” on page 52 “The Physical Stack” on page 52 “Resiliency Link” on page 54 “VCStack Recovery States” on page 54 “Resiliency Link Configurations via Switch Ports” on page 56 “Resilient Stacked Topology” on page 57 “Stack Formation” on page 58 “The Role of the Stack Master” on page 58 “Stack Member Failure and Recovery” on page 61
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking VCStackTM Introduction A Virtual Chassis Stack (VCStack) is a group of physically separate switches that are connected so as to function as a single logical switch. In order to function as a VCStack, its component switches are connected using high-speed stacking links. Switches must be of the same product type to exist within the same stack.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide VCS Stacking Modules, Cables, and Connections The stacks are connected via the stacking ports on the VCS Stacking Modules (AT-StackXG), which are installed in the back of each switch. The following cables are used to connect the stacking ports of x600 series switches: High Speed Stacking Cables (0.5 meter) - StackXG/0.5 High Speed Stacking Cables (1.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Ring Configuration A virtual stack using x600 switches can comprise up to 4 stack members connected in a ring topology. Figure 25 shows a ring comprising 3 stacked x600 series switches. Because an alternate path is provided between the stack members, this topology offers a very resilient configuration 100-240VAC~ RPS INPUT AT-StackXG AT-StackXG STACK PORT 1 STACK PORT 2 High Speed Stacking Cables Model Number AT-StackXG/0.5 (0.

Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Resiliency Link Configurations via Switch Ports Two resiliency-link configurations that connect to switch ports are shown below:Figure 26 shows the resiliency link connecting in a ring topology, whilst Figure 27 shows the resiliency link connecting to its switch ports via a network hub. In both configurations, the resiliency link connections are made using the ResiliencyLink VLAN and attaching the switch ports to the VLAN.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Resilient Stacked Topology Where network connectivity uptime is a major criteria, you can use virtual chassis stacking to create highly reliable network configurations. Employing link aggregation rather than spanning tree to manage the parallel paths, enables the bandwidth of both data links to be utilized under normal conditions, whilst enabling a single data link to operate should its partner link fail.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Stack Formation A virtual chassis stack (VCS) always contains a master plus a number of stack members. To be part of a stack, a switch must connect to other potential stack members via dedicated stacking ports on the VCS Stacking module located in the rear of the switch.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Note The ability to independently set both a stack member’s priority and its ID means that the stack master does not need to have an ID of 1; although configuration is simplified by arranging for ID 1 to be the device with the lowest priority value - and thereby forcing it to be the stack master. If you create a stack using new switches, the following (simplified) process should ensure that the master member has an ID of 1.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking management VLAN ID and IP address, use the SHOW STACK command. Stack Member Identification When a switch becomes a member of a VCS Stack it is assigned a Stack Member-ID. Stack status information is displayed on the STACK LEDs shown on the switch’s front panel shown in Figure 28. The following LEDs indicate the switch’s status within the stack. To observe the Stack Member-ID of the switch, you first run the SHOW STACK INDICATOR command.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide LED 1- L/A State Description (Continued) Solid Green Link on stacking port 1 is active. Green Flashing Indicates traffic flowing through stacking port 1 Green OFF Link on stacking port 1 is inactive. 2- L/A PRES Solid Green Link on stacking port 2 is active. Green Flashing Indicates traffic flowing through stacking port 2. OFF Link on stacking port 2 is inactive.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking VCS Failure Recovery If the stack master fails or is removed, the other stack members decide which of two actions to take: 1. Fallback action. 2. Re-elect a new stack master. Note The master fail-over process will be slower than a stack member failure, and will require the restart (reconvergence) of routing protocols such as RIP.
x600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide Stack Maintenance An operational stack configuration may require occasional maintenance when you need to add, replace or repairing a broken stack stub. Adding a Stack Member An unstacked switch can be added to an existing stack (hot swapped in) with minimal impact on traffic. To do this, power down the new member switch, then connect its stacking ports and power on the switch. The switch will boot as a member of the stack.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking detected. This situation results in the re-election of one stack master and the re-integration of the stack into one entity. The losing master will return to being a stack member in this process.

If the LED is off, indicating that the unit is not receiving power, do the following: 94 Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the power source and to the AC connector on the rear panel of the switch. Verify that the power outlet has power by connecting another device to it. Connect the unit to another power source. Use a different power cord.
x600 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Twisted Pair Port Link LED is Off When a twisted pair port on the switch is connected to a properly operating end node, the Link LED for the port should be on. If a Link LED is off, do the following: Note A 1000Base-T connection can take from five to ten seconds to establish a link. Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is operating properly.
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting SFP or XFP LED is Off When a fiber optic port on the switch is connected to a properly operating end node, the Link LED for the port should be on. If a Link LED is off, do the following: Verify that the end node connected to the port is powered ON and is operating properly. Check that the fiber optic cable is securely connected to the port on the switch and the port on the end node.
x600 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Installation Guide Transceiver is Installed but the Status is “Not Present” If a SFP or XFP transceiver is installed in a transceiver slot but the Uplink Information menu in the AlliedWare Plus Operating System Software interface displays “Not Present” for that port, do the following: Verify that the transceiver is completely inserted in the slot on the front of the switch.
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting System Fault LED is Blinking A blinking FAULT LED indicates that the switch is updating the active boot configuration file or a new version of the operating system software is in the process of being downloaded to the switch. The LED stops blinking after the switch has completed updating the boot configuration file or downloading the operating system software.
x600 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Installation Guide System Fault LED is Steadily On If the system FAULT LED is steadily on, a problem has occurred in the switch. Do the following: Reset the switch by disconnecting and reconnecting the AC power cord. If the FAULT LED remains ON, download a new version of the switch’s operating system software. For instructions, refer to the AlliedWare Plus Operating System Software Reference Guide.
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Cannot Establish a Local (Out-of-Band) Management Session If you are unable to establish a local (out-of-band) management session with the switch through the terminal port on the front panel, do the following: 100 Check that the RJ-45 serial management cable is securely connected to the serial terminal port on the switch and to the RS-232 port on the terminal or personal computer.
