switch ID LED on the front panel and do one of the following:

 If the LED is displaying “0,” the installation procedure is complete.

The switch is now ready for network operations as a stand-alone

unit. Refer to the Software Reference for x510 Series Switches,

AlliedWare Plus Operating System, for instructions on how to

configure the operating parameters.

 If the LED is displaying a number other than “0,” perform the

following procedures to disable the VCStack feature.

You can disable the VCStack feature from a local management session of

the switch using the Console port. To start a local management session,

go to “Starting a Local Management Session,” next.

Caution

You have to reset the switch to disable the VCStack feature. Some

network traffic may be lost if the device is already connected to a live

network.

Note

The initial management session of the switch must be from the

Console port.

the management cable that comes with the switch. To start a local

management session on the switch, perform the following procedure:

1. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the management cable to the

Console port on the front panel of the switch, as shown in Figure 33 on

page 75.
