Stack Mixed-
Mode Licenses
One of the first steps to building a mixed stack of x530L switches and one
or more x530 or x530DP switches is to obtain stack mixed-mode licenses
from Allied Telesis and install the licenses on the switches. Switches of
mixed stacks need the licenses to form the stacks.
The different switch series have different stack mixed-mode licenses. To
receive the correct type and number of licenses, be sure to specify the
number of x530L, x530, and x530DP switches when ordering the licenses.
Stack Mixed-
Mode Commands
After installing the stack mixed-mode licenses, you have to enter the
STACK MIXED-MODE command in the Global Configuration mode of the
AlliedWare Plus operating system. The command designates the switches
as part of a mixed stack. When you issue this command on x530 series or
x530DP switches, they configure their base feature sets to match the
feature set in the base licenses in x530L switches.
Trunk Ports
A key component of a stack is the trunk. These are the ports that link
the switches together. With the x530L-10GHXm, x530L-18GHXm, x530,
and x530DP switches, you have the choice of selecting the trunk ports
from the SFP+ ports or multi-speed 1/2.5/5Gbps twisted pair ports.
The 28- and 52 port x530L switches, however, do not have multi-speed
twisted pair ports. Consequently, to build a stack with those switches,
regardless of whether it’s a mixed stack or not, you have to use the SFP+
ports as the trunk ports. In contrast, the x530L-10GHXm and x530L-
18GHXm switches do have multi-speed twisted pair ports. The trunk of a
mixed stack of x530L-10GHXm, x530L-18GHXm, x530, or x530DP
switches can be either SFP+ or multi-speed twisted pair ports. Refer to
“Stack Trunks of 10Gbps Ports” on page 62.
Optional Licenses
Here are guidelines for optional licenses in mixed stacks of x530L and
x530 and/or x530DP switches:
Mixed stacks do not support premium licenses. Do not install
premium licenses on switches in mixed stacks.
Mixed stacks do support the G8032 ring protection and continuous
PoE power licenses.
All the switches in the stack must have the same optional licenses.
AlliedWare Plus
Mixed stacks require AlliedWare Plus v5.4.9 and later.
Guidelines
Here are the guidelines to building mixed stacks of x530L and x530 or
x530DP switches:
For a mixed stack of x530L-10GHXm, x530L-18GHXm, x530 or
x530DP switches, you can use either SFP+ or multi-speed twisted
pair ports for the trunk.
