Overview of Stacking

Stacking is a feature that merges a switch together with other switches. All

stacked switches will behave like one big switch. The administrators just need to

access one switch to set configuration for the entire stack. This allows for easier

management of network environment.

Which switch will be Master?

Within a managed stack, one master switch (or just "master") must be elected. Any

switch not being master is a slave switch (or just "slave").

To elect a master, the following criteria are evaluated sequentially:

1. If any switch already claims to have been master for more than 30 seconds, then that switch

will become master.

2. If multiple switches claim to have been master for more than 30 seconds, then the switch

which has been master for the longest period of time will become master.

3. The switch with the lowest master priority.

4. The switch with the lowest MAC address.

Application scenario

In a small enterprise network, the network administrator typically has to configure

individual switches one by one. Moreover, some events, like users downloading large

files from server or switch breakdown, may cause server connection slowdown or

service interruptions. Therefore, easily managing a network and increasing

redundancy become a higher priority for the network administrator. The XGS1910

series provides a stacking feature which allows merging of several switches and also

improving server bandwidth and link redundancy through the LACP feature.

Note:

1. All switches MUST use the same firmware version before you implemet stacking

for them.

2. Use ring topology for stacking group in order to prevent switch separation in case

of a connection issue.

3. Use XGS1910-48 as the uplink device for the stacking group. Because

XGS1910-48 can support four 10G ports, this allows using two 10G ports for

stacking group link and another two 10G ports for uplink usage.

4. If you want to use 10G to connect XGS4528 or XGS1910, use XFP on XGS4528

and SFP-Plus on XGS1910. Then they will connect successfully.

Configuration Guide

In total, we need to configure three switches in this scenario. Configuration will start

from XGS1910-48_1F to XGS1910-24_1F and XGS1910-24_24F.

Goals to achieve:

1) The XGS1910-48_1F will be a master switch.

2) A server will use LACP to connect with XGS1910-24_1F and

XGS1910-48_1F.

1.1 XGS1910-48_1F Configuration steps:

Step 1 : Monitor > System > Information to check the firmware version.

Step 2 : Configuration > System > IP to configure an IP address on the switch.

Step 3 : Configuration > Stack to enable the stacking function.

Note : After enabling the stacking function, the switch MUST be rebooted.

Step 4 : Maintenance > Restart Device to reboot the switch.

Step 5 : Check stacking status.
