Powering On the Switches Sequentially
This procedure explains how to control the assignment of the ID numbers
of the x930 Switches by powering on the devices one at a time during the
first power-on sequence. The first switch is assigned ID number 1, the next
unit ID number 2, and so on. This procedure is useful when the switches
are installed in the same equipment rack. You can number them in
sequence, such as from top to bottom, to make them easier to identify.
In this procedure the first switch powered on becomes the master switch of
the stack. If you do not change the priority values of the switches and later
reset or power cycle the stack, the switches will select the master based
on their MAC addresses. This could result in the selection of a different
switch as the master. However, this does not change their ID numbers, the
stack configuration, or the manner in which you manage the stack.
The procedure assumes the following:
You installed the AT-StackQS Cards in the switches. Refer to
Chapter 5, “Installing AT-StackQS and AT-x9EM/XT4 Cards” on
You installed 40Gbps transceivers in the AT-StackQS Cards and
cabled the ports. For trunk examples, refer to “Trunks of AT-
StackQS Cards” on page 64. For cabling instructions, refer to
“Cabling the AT-StackQS Card with AT-QSFPICU Cables” on
page 194 and “Cabling the AT-StackQS Card with Fiber Optic
The switches are at their default settings.
You performed “Displaying the Hardware Status and AlliedWare
Plus Version Number” on page 145 to confirm that all the x930
Switches have the same version of the AlliedWare Plus software.
This is the first power-on of the stack.
The switches are powered off.
After performing this procedure, go to “Verifying the Stack and Assigning
Priority Numbers” on page 156.
You can monitor the power-on sequence by connecting a terminal or PC
with a terminal emulator program to the Console port on the switch you
power on first. For the terminal settings, refer to “Starting a Local
Management Session” on page 142.
Note
Refer to “Power Specifications” on page 207 for the power
specifications of the switches.
