x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Stacking SFP+ Slots Two of the four SFP+ slots on the front panel of the switch can be used with stacking transceivers to create a VCStack of up to four switches. The switches of a VCStack act as a single virtual unit. They synchronize their actions so that switching operations, like spanning tree protocols, virtual LANs, and static port trunks, span across all the units and ports.
Chapter 1: Overview eco-friendly Button You may turn off the port LEDs to conserve electricity when you are not monitoring the switch. The LEDs are toggled with the eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch or the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Global Configuration mode of the command line interface. The switch is said to be operating in a low power mode when the LEDs are turned off.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking LEDs Here are descriptions of the LEDs. LEDs for the Twisted Pair Ports Each twisted pair port on the AT-x510-28GTX and AT-x510-52GTX Switches has two LEDs that display link, activity and duplex mode information.

The switch is a member switch of a VCStack. Figure 8.
Chapter 1: Overview USB Port The management panel has a USB port. You may use the port to store configuration files on flash drives and to restore the files to switches whose settings have been lost or corrupted, or to quickly configure replacement units. You may also use the port and flash drives to update the management firmware on the switches. The port is USB2.0 compatible.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Console Port The Console port is used to establish a management session with the switch to configure its features and parameter settings. This type of management uses serial RS-232 and is commonly referred to as local or out-of-band management because it is not conducted over your network. To perform local management, you must be at the location of the switch and must use the management cable included with the switch.
Chapter 1: Overview Power Supplies The x510 Series switches have two AC power supplies with separate AC connectors on the back panels. The power supplies, which are not fieldreplaceable, provide a switch with power redundancy and protect against interruptions to network operations in the event one of the power supplies loses power or fails. Power redundancy is available only when both AC connectors on a switch are connected to power sources.
Chapter 2 Virtual Chassis Stacking The sections in this chapter are: “Overview” on page 36 “Stacking Slots” on page 37 “Stacking Transceivers” on page 38 “Stacking Port Topologies” on page 40 “Master and Member Switches” on page 44 “Specifying Ports in the Command Line Interface” on page 46 Note For more information on the VCStack feature, refer to the Stacking Introduction and Stacking Commands chapters in the Software Reference for x510 Series Switches, AlliedWare Plus Operating S
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Overview The Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) feature allows you to connect up four x510 Series switches to form a virtual switch in which the devices function as a single networking unit. The benefits of the VCStack feature are: 36 Simplifies management - You can manage the devices of the stack as a single unit, rather than individually. Your local and remote management sessions automatically give you management access to all the devices.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Stacking Slots The x510 Series Switches come with two stacking slots. The slots are the last two SFP+ slots on the switches and are labeled “S1/27” and “S2/28” on the AT-x510-28GTX Switch and “S1/51” and “S2/52” on the AT-x51052GTX Switch. The slots have two functions.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Stacking Transceivers You connect the switches of the VCStack with the stacking transceivers listed in Table 5 and shown in Figure 9. Table 5. Stacking Transceivers Stacking Transceiver Model Cable Type Operating Distance AT-StackXS/1.0 Twinax cable 1 meter AT-StackOP/0.3 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber optic cable 33 meters (108 feet) 50/125 µm multimode fiber optic cable 300 meters (984 feet) 9/125 µm singlemode fiber optic cable 9 kilometers AT-StackOP/9.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Here are the transceiver guidelines: The stacking transceivers may only be used in the stacking slots and only with the VCStack feature. You may not use the transceivers as regular networking ports. The AT-StackOP/0.3 and AT-StackOP/9.0 transceivers must be connected to other AT-StackOP/0.3 and AT-StackOP/9.0 transceivers. The transceivers do not work with other types of network devices.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Stacking Port Topologies The switches of a stack are connected with the S1 and S2 ports and the stacking transceivers shown in Figure 9 on page 38. There are two wiring configurations. The first topology is called the linear topology. In this topology the switches are connected with a single pathway. A stacking transceiver in one switch is connected to a stacking transceiver in the next switch, which is connected to the next switch, and so on.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Figure 11. Stack of Four Switches in the Linear Topology The second topology is called the ring topology. It is similar to the linear topology, except that the unused stacking ports on the end switches of the stack are connected to form a physical loop. This topology is more resilient than the linear topology because there are two pathways through the stack.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Figure 12. Stack of Two Switches in the Ring Topology Figure 13 on page 43 is an example of a stack of four switches in the ring topology.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Figure 13. Stack of Four Switches in the Ring Topology The topologies are the same in terms of network speed and performance. However, the ring topology is the recommended wiring configuration because of the secondary path through the stacking ports. The two pathways protect the switches of the stack against the loss of communications due to a failure of a stacking port, cable, or switch.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Master and Member Switches The stack has one master switch. The functions of the master switch include: Coordinating and monitoring stack operations. Verifying that the switches are using the same version of management software. It automatically downloads its management software over the stacking cables to switches with different software versions. Verifying that the switches have different ID numbers.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking ID Numbers Each switch must be assigned an ID number. The range is 1 to 4 and the default is 1. The ID numbers are displayed on the ID LEDs on the front panels of the units. You may assign the numbers yourself or you can let the master switch assign the numbers automatically., as explained in Chapter 7, “Powering On the Stack” on page 79.
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Specifying Ports in the Command Line Interface The command line interface in the management software on the switch has a parameter that you use to specify the individual ports. The parameter is the PORT parameter and Figure 14 shows its format. port1.0.n Stack ID Module ID Port Number Figure 14. PORT Parameter in the Command Line Interface The first number is the switch’s ID number. The ID numbers of switches in a stack are displayed on their ID LEDs.

Chapter 5 Verifying the Status of VCStack The procedures in this chapter are: “Verifying the Status of VCStack” on page 64 “Activating the VCStack Feature” on page 65 63
Chapter 5: Verifying the Status of VCStack Verifying the Status of VCStack Before you install the stacking transceivers to build the stack, you should first test the switches to determine whether the VCStack feature is enabled or disabled, and enable it on any units where it is disabled. On new switches, the feature should be activated because that is the default setting. But on switches that were previously used as stand-alone units, the feature is probably disabled and needs to be enabled.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Activating the VCStack Feature Perform the following two procedures to activate the VCStack feature on switches that display the number “0” on their ID LEDs in the previous procedure. The tasks assume that you are continuing directly from the previous procedure and that the switch is powered on.
Chapter 5: Verifying the Status of VCStack Note The port settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulator program. 4. Press Enter. You are prompted for a user name and password. 5. If this is the initial management session of the switch, enter “manager” as the user name and “friend” as the password. The user name and password are case sensitive. The local management session starts when the User Exec mode prompt, shown in Figure 22. is displayed. awplus> Figure 22.

SFP Handle Figure 37. Positioning the Handle in the Upright Position 6.
Chapter 6: Cabling the Stacking Ports Figure 38. Connecting the Fiber Optic Cable to the Stacking Transceiver 7. Repeat this procedure if the switch is to have two stacking transceivers. 8. Repeat this procedure on the other switches of the stack to install their stacking transceivers. The connections must crossover such that a transceiver in slot 1 connects to a transceiver in slot 2. 9. After you connect the stacking cables to all the switches, go to Chapter 7, “Powering On the Stack” on page 79.
Chapter 7 Powering On the Stack This chapter contains the following procedures: “Powering On the Switches Individually” on page 80 “Powering On the Switches Simultaneously” on page 83 “Verifying the Stack” on page 85 “Monitoring the Initialization Processes” on page 88 Perform “Powering On the Switches Individually” on page 80 if you want to control the assignment of the ID numbers to the switches of the stack. The numbers are assigned in the order in which you power on the units.
Chapter 7: Powering On the Stack Powering On the Switches Individually This procedure explains how you can control the assignment of the ID numbers of the switches by powering on the units one at a time during the initial power-on sequence. The first switch is assigned ID number 1, the next unit is assigned ID number 2, and so on.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Figure 39. Plugging in the AC Power Cords Consider the following items as you power on the switch: Connecting the two power cords to power sources that are on different circuits will provide power redundancy to the switch in the event a circuit fails. Refer to “Power Specifications” on page 104 for the power specifications of the switches. Warning Power cord is used as a disconnection device.
Chapter 7: Powering On the Stack As the new switch boots up, the first switch, which has the ID number 1 and at this point is the master switch of the stack, notifies the new switch that its current ID number is already being used and that it should change its number to the next available number, which is 2. The new switch responses by automatically changing its ID number to 2 and reboots.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Powering On the Switches Simultaneously If you want the switches of the stack to use their MAC addresses to automatically assign the ID numbers during the initial power on sequence, all you have to do is power them on simultaneously, rather than one at a time as in the previous procedure. Here are the steps the switches perform: They initialize their management software and compare their MAC addresses.
Chapter 7: Powering On the Stack Warning Power cord is used as a disconnection device. To de-energize equipment, disconnect the power cord. E3 Note Pluggable Equipment. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. E5 2. Wait two or three minutes for the switches to select a master switch and to assign the ID numbers. At this point, the stack is operational.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Verifying the Stack To verify stack operations, perform the following procedure: 1. Establish a local management session on any switch in the stack. For instructions, refer to “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 65. 2. From the User Exec mode, enter the SHOW STACK command: awplus> show stack The command lists the switches in the stack. An example is show in Figure 40.
Chapter 7: Powering On the Stack Setting the Priority Numbers Otherwise, go to Chapter 8, “Cabling the Networking Ports” on page 91, to continue with the installation. This procedure is optional. It explains how to configure the priority settings of the switches. Changing the priority settings protects the stack configuration should you ever power on the stack with a new member switch that has a lower MAC address than an existing master or member switch.

Chapter 8 Cabling the Networking Ports This chapter contains the following procedures: “Cabling the Twisted Pair Ports” on page 92 “Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceivers” on page 94 91
Chapter 8: Cabling the Networking Ports Cabling the Twisted Pair Ports Here are the guidelines to cabling the 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports: 92 The cable specifications for the 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair ports are listed in Table 1 on page 23. The connectors on the cables should fit snugly into the ports, and the tabs should lock the connectors into place. The default setting for the wiring configurations of the ports is autoMDI/MDI-X.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking The default duplex mode setting of Auto-Negotiation is not appropriate for ports connected to network devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation and have a fixed duplex mode. You should disable Auto-Negotiation on those ports and set their duplex modes manually to avoid the possibility of duplex mode mismatches.
Chapter 8: Cabling the Networking Ports Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceivers Review the following guidelines before installing SFP or SFP+ transceivers in the switch: SFP and SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install them while the chassis is powered on. Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list of supported transceivers for the line cards.

Removing the Dust Plug from an SFP+ Slot Note When VCStack is enabled on the switch, slots S1/27 and S1/28 on the AT-x510-28GTX Switch and slots S1/51 and S1/52 on the ATx510-52GTX Switch are reserved as stacking ports and may not be used for regular SFP or SFP+ transceivers. 2. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the packaging material in a safe location. 3.
Chapter 8: Cabling the Networking Ports Figure 48. Installing an SFP or SFP+ Transceiver Note If you are ready to attach the fiber optic cable to the transceiver, continue with the next step. Otherwise, repeat steps 1 to 4 to install the remaining SFP or SFP+ transceivers in the line cards. 5. Remove the dust cover from the transceiver, as shown in Figure 49. Figure 49. Removing the Dust Cover from an SFP or SFP+ Transceiver 6. Verify the position of the handle on the SFP transceiver.

Chapter 9 Troubleshooting This chapter contains suggestions on how to troubleshoot the switch if a problem occurs. Note For further assistance, please contact Allied Telesis Technical Support at www.alliedtelesis.com/support. Problem 1: The Switch ID LED on the front of the switch is off. Solutions: The unit is not receiving power. Try the following: Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the power source and to the AC connector on the back panel of the switch.
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting Verify that VCStack is activated on the switches. For instructions, refer to Chapter 5, “Verifying the Status of VCStack” on page 63. It could be that the switches have incompatible versions of the management software. When a stack forms or a new switch is added to an existing stack, the master switch downloads its management software to member switches that do not have the same version.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking If you are using SFP+ slots 27 or 28 on the AT-x510-28GTX Switch or slots 51 and 52 on the AT-x510-52GTX, check that VCStack is disabled on the switch. The VCStack feature has to be disabled before you can use these slots for regular SFP or SFP+ transceivers.
Chapter 9: Troubleshooting Use the SHOW SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT command in the Privileged Exec mode to verify that the fan is operating correctly. Verify that the location of the switch allows for adequate airflow. The unit will shutdown if it is in danger of overheating. Problem 8: The Switch ID LED on the front of the switch is flashing the letter “F.” Solutions: One or more of the following problems has occurred: A cooling fan has failed. One of the power supplies has failed.
