Stacking
The 530T switch can be stacked with up to three 535T switches. Stacking
allows for a single point of management for all switches.
About a stack
•
There can be only one 530T switch in a stack.
•
The 530T switch requires the installation of a Stack Matrix Module
to stack it with a 535T. (Only one Stack Matrix Module is needed for
the entire stack.)
•
The 530T can be stacked only with 535T switches.
•
You can stack up to three 535T switches with a 530T.
•
In a stack, the 530T is the control switch and the 535Ts are the
member switches.
•
The member switches are all managed through the control switch’s
management interface.
•
There is only one IP address for the entire stack of switches (the
control switch’s IP address).
•
There can be only one instance of Spanning Tree, regardless of the
number of switches in the stack.
•
Ports from any switch can be members of any VLAN.
•
For link aggregation, the anchor ports are 1, 7, 15 for both the
control and member switches. You can also link aggregate the
module ports on the control switch (530T).
•
You can only link aggregate ports on the same switch.
