Chapter 8: Building the Stack Trunk with 5Gbps Multi-Speed Ports
162
Introduction
The trunk ports of a stack of x530L-10GHXm or x530L-18GHXm switches
can be multi-speed 5Gbps ports or the SFP+ 10Gbps ports. The default
trunk ports are 10Gbps ports. Directions on how to use the default ports as
the stack trunk are provided in Chapter 7, “Building the Trunk with the
Default 10Gbps Stacking Ports” on page 141.
This chapter contains the procedures for configuring x530L-10GHXm or
x530L-18GHXm switches to use 5 Gbps ports for the stack trunk.
Here are the general steps:
1. Fill in “Stacking Worksheet” on page 85.
2. Review the configuration commands in “Command Summary” on
3. Perform “Configuring the Master x530L-10GHXm Switch” on page 166
or “Configuring the Master x530L-18GHXm Switch” on page 175.
4. Perform “Configuring the x530L-10GHXm Member Switches” on
page 185 or “Configuring the x530L-18GHXm Member Switches” on
page 192.
5. Perform “Powering on the Stack” on page 200.
6. Perform “Verifying the Stack” on page 201.
Review the following information before performing the instructions:
Perform the procedures in the order presented here.
Choose the master switch before beginning the procedure. It can
be any of the switches. Refer to “Master and Member Switches” on
page 76.
If you have not selected the trunk ports yet, you should do so
before continuing. Refer to “Stack Trunks of 5Gbps Ports on the
x530L-10GHXm or x530L-18GHXm Switch” on page 71.
If you have already connected network cables to the ports of the
stack trunk, disconnect them before continuing. You should cable
the ports after configuring the switches for stacking.
Note
Cabling the ports of the stack trunk before configuring the switches
can result in loops in your network topology, which can cause poor
network performance.
