Speed The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds may be set manually using the management software or automatically with AutoNegotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting. Note The ports must be set to Auto-Negotiation to function at 1000 Mbps and are not compatible with devices that are not IEEE 802.3u compliant.
Chapter 1: Overview The MDI and MDI-X settings do not apply when ports are operating at 1000 Mbps. Maximum Distance Cable Requirements The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The cable requirements of the ports are given in Table 1. Table 1. Twisted Pair Cable for the 10/100/1000Base-T Ports Cable Type Standard TIA/EIA 568-Bcompliant Category 3 shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a frequency of 16 MHz.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Power Over Ethernet The AT-x510-28GPX and AT-x510-52GPX Switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the 10/100/1000Base-T ports. PoE is used to supply power to network devices over the same twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. The main advantage of PoE is that it can make it easier to install a network. The selection of a location for a network device is often limited by whether there is a power source nearby.

Chapter 1: Overview simultaneously as long as the total is below its power budget. If the total exceeds the available power budget, you should consider reducing the number of PoE devices so that all of the devices receive power. Otherwise, the switch powers a subset of the devices, based on port prioritization. The switch can handle different power requirements on different ports. This enables you to connect different classes of PoE equipment to the ports on the switch.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking of the power supplies fail or lose power. If you limit the power requirements of the critical devices connected to a switch to less than 185 watts, the PoE power provided by a single power supply, a switch will have sufficient power to support the critical devices even if it has only one functional power supply. Wiring Implementation The IEEE 802.
Chapter 1: Overview SFP+ Slots The switches have four SFP+ slots that support the following types of SFP 1000Mbps and SFP+ 10Gbps transceivers: 1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceivers Single-port BiDi 1000Base-LX SFP transceivers 1000Base-ZX SFP transceivers 10Gbps, 10GBase-SR/LR fiber optic transceivers 10Gbps AT-SP10TW direct connect twinax cables with SFP+ transceiver-style connectors You may use the transceivers to connect switches to other network devices over large distances, build high-s
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 LEDs are shown in Figure 6. Link/Activity LED Duplex Mode LED Link/Activity LED Duplex Mode LED Figure 6.

x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Switch ID LED The Switch ID LED, shown in Figure 10, displays the ID number of the switch. A stand-alone switch has the ID number 0. Switches in a VCStack have the numbers 1 to 4. Chapter 7, “Powering On the Stack” on page 89 has the procedure for verifying and, if necessary, changing the ID number of the switch. Switch ID LED Figure 10.
Chapter 1: Overview The switch displays the letter “F” for fault on the ID LED if it encounters one of the following problems: A cooling fan has failed. One of the power supplies has failed. The internal temperature of the switch has exceeded the normal operating range and the switch may shut down. Note You can use the SHOW SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT command in the command line interface to identify the source of the problem.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking USB Port The management panel has a USB port. You may use the port to store configuration files on flash drives and to restore configuration 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.
Chapter 1: Overview 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.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking 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 46 “Stacking Slots” on page 47 “Stacking Transceivers” on page 48 “Stacking Port Topologies” on page 50 “Master and Member Switches” on page 54 “Specifying Ports in the Command Line Interface” on page 56 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: 46 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 28-port switches and “S1/51” and “S2/52” on the 52-port switches. 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 10 and shown in Figure 13. Table 10. 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 13 on page 48. 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 15. 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 16. Stack of Two Switches in the Ring Topology Figure 17 on page 53 is an example of a stack of four switches in the ring topology.
x510 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Figure 17. 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 89.
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 18 shows its format. port1.0.n Stack ID Module ID Port Number Figure 18. 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 74 “Activating the VCStack Feature” on page 75 73
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 26. is displayed. awplus> Figure 26.

Chapter 6: Cabling the Stacking Ports Figure 42. 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 89.
Chapter 7 Powering On the Stack This chapter contains the following procedures: “Powering On the Switches Individually” on page 90 “Powering On the Switches Simultaneously” on page 93 “Verifying the Stack” on page 95 “Monitoring the Initialization Processes” on page 98 Perform “Powering On the Switches Individually” on page 90 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 43. 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 116 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 75. 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 44.
Chapter 7: Powering On the Stack Setting the Priority Numbers Otherwise, go to Chapter 8, “Cabling the Networking Ports” on page 101, 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.
