Note
10/100/1000Base-T Ports
This section describes the 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the switches.
Connector Type The ports are 8-pin RJ-45 connectors that use four pins at 10 or 100 Mbps
and all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. For the pin assignments, refer to “RJ-45
Twisted Pair Port Pinouts” on page 116.
Speed A port’s speed can be 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speed can be set
automatically through Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, or manually
with the AlliedWare Plus
Duplex Mode A 10/100/1000Base-T port can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode.
(Full-duplex mode is the only mode available when a port is operating at
1000 Mbps.) The 10/100/1000Base-T ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant
and Auto-Negotiate the duplex mode setting.
Operating System Software.
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on the switch ports and set the duplex
mode manually throug
In order for a switch port to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex
mode with a 10 or 100 Mbps end node, the end node must also be
configured for Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode
mismatch can occur. A switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults
to half-duplex if it detects that the end node is not using
Auto-Negotiation. This results in a mismatch if the end node is
operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem when connecting an end node with a fixed
duplex mode of full-duplex to a switch port, use the AlliedWare Plus
Operating System Software to disable Auto-Negotiation on the port
and set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Please be aware that disabling Auto-Negotiation also disables
Auto-MDI/MDIX. The port’s wiring configuration defaults to the
MDI-X setting. This setting can be configured with the AlliedWare
Plus Operating System Software.
h the AlliedWare Plus
Operating System Software.
Maximum
Distance
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
29
Page 30
Chapter 1: Overview
Cable Type The cabling requirements for a 10/100/1000Base-T port are:
For 10 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Category 3
or better shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and
a frequency range that extends to 16 MHz.
For 100 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant Category
5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) shielded
or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a frequency range
that extends to 100 MHz.
For 1000 Mbps operation: Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant
Category 5 or TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e)
shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and a
frequency range that extends to 100 MHz.
Auto-MDI/
MDI-X
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the switch are IEEE 802ab-compliant
and feature auto-MDI/MDI-X. This feature, available when a port’s speed
and duplex mode are set through Auto-Negotiation, automatically
configures a switch port to MDI or MDI-X depending on the wiring
configuration of the port on the end node. This feature allows you to use a
straight-through twisted pair cable when connecting any network device to
a port on the switch.
Disabling Auto-Negotiation on a port and setting the speed and duplex
manually also disables the a
mode
uto-MDI/MDI-X feature. A port where
Auto-Negotiation has been disabled defaults to MDI-X. Disabling
Auto-Negotiation may require manually configuring a port’s MDI/MDI-X
setting or using a crossover cable.
Port Pinouts The port pinout information is listed in Appendix A, Technical
Specifications.
When operating at 10 or 100 Mbps in the MDI configuration, refer to
the specifications in Table 19 on page 116.
When operating at 10 or 100 Mbps in the MDI-X configuration, refer to
the specifications in Table 20 on page 116.
When a 10/100/1000Base-T port operates at 1000 Mbps, refer to the
specifications in Table 21 on page 117.

SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Slots
The x610 Series switches feature slots for optional Gigabit Ethernet SFP
transceivers, as listed in Table 2. The SFP slots support both fiber optic
and copper transceivers. Fiber optic transceivers let you connect the
switches to other network devices over long
cables. Copper transceivers allow you to add more twisted pair ports to
your x610 Series switch.
The x610-24Ts/X, x610-24Ts/X-POE+, x610-48Ts/X, and

Chapter 1: Overview
Follow these guidelines when using these ports and slots:
Only one port in a pair, either a 10/100/1000Base-T port or a
corresponding SFP module can be active at a time.
A 10/100/1000Base-T port is the active port when its SFP slot is
empty, or when an SFP module is installed but has not established a
link to an end node.
A 10/100/1000Base-T port automatically changes to the redundant
status mode when an SFP module establishes a link with an end node.
A 10/100/1000Base-T port automatically transitions back to the active
status when the link is lost on an SFP module.
In nearly all cases, a 10/100/1000Base-T port and an SFP module
share the same configuration settings, including port settings, VLAN
assignments, access control lists, and Spanning Tree Protocol
settings.
An exception to the shared settings is port speed. If you disable
Auto-Negotiation on an 10/100/1000Base-T port and set the speed
and duplex mode manually, the speed reverts to Auto-Negotiation
when an SFP module establishes a link with an end node.
The PoE+ power supplied from the 10/100/1000Base-T port is
unaffected by insertion of an SFP module in to the corresponding SFP
combo port.

When fully populated, the RPS can support up to four x610 switches
simultaneously, depending on the switches configuration. The RPS can
backup one high-power consumption switch or two low-power
consumption switches with each power supply module. The 24 port
switches are considered low-power consumption switches while the 48

Power Classes Since PDs may require differing power ranges, the IEEE 802.3at Power
Ethernet standards classifies PDs according to their power consumption.
By providing the PSE with its power range, the PD allows the PSE to
supply power with greater efficiency. The power classes as outlined by
IEEE 802.3at are as follows, showing the different PD classes and the
PSE power output for each corresponding PD power range:

port but no power is delivered to the device.
On the 24 port x610 PoE+ switches, the PoE+ power supplied from
from ports 21R, 22R, 23R and 24R is unaffected by insertion of a
SFP module into the corresponding SFP combo port.
On the 48 port x610 PoE+ switches, the PoE+ power supplied from
from ports 47R and 48R is unaffected by insertion of a SFP module
into the corresponding SFP combo port.

Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking
VCStack Introduction
Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack™) is the name given to two or more
separate Allied Telesis switches that are configured to operate as a single
logical switch. The VCStack operates as a single device and is not
perceived by end users, or the traffic itself, to be any more than a single
network node. From a configuration and management point of view, it is as
though the switches are one device with a seamless transition from the
ports of one stack member to the ports of the next.
Each component switch in a VCStack is called a stack member. The
VCStack also contains one stack master, which is the switch that
manages the stack. To function as a VCStack the component switches are
connected using high-speed stacking links.
Features of
VCStacking
When configuring a VCStack, there are no
one stack member can interact with the ports of another stack member.
VLANs, port aggregations, port mirroring, and port ranges in the
configuration can all span multiple stack members. The stack member
ports truly operate as though they all belong to one virtual switch. The
same applies with Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching (both unicast and
multicast).
A VCStack may also include a resiliency link, which is an extra,
out-of-band, data link
communication across the stacking connection, the stack members can
determine the status of other members via communication on the
resiliency link. This assists the stack members in deciding the correct
course of action when communication on the stack is lost.
For more information about Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack™) see the
acking Introduction and Stacking Commands chapters in the Allie
St
Plus
Operating System Software Reference from www.alliedtelesis.com.
Creating a VCStack greatly eases network management, because you
can configure all the stacked devices via a single IP address. Creating a
VCStack will often eliminate your need to configure protocols such as
VRRP and Spanning Tree. VCStack also enables you to create highly
resilient networks. This resiliency can be applied in several ways.

Depending on the switch types used, a stack can comprise from 2 to 8
individual stack members interconnected via high speed stacking links. A
stack always has a primary stack member called the stack master, and
can contain up to 7 other stack members. For information about VCStack
stacking modules available and cable specifications, see “Connecting

status information that enables them to detect whether the stack master is
still operational after it has suffered either a power-down or software
lock-up. This enables the other stack members to always re-elect a new
stack master safely, and to avoid a situation where there are two isolated
masters both running the same configuration

1. The stack member’s priority setting.
2. The stack member’s MAC address.
The master is the switch with the lowest ‘priority setting’, or if no ‘priority
settings’ are configured, the switch with the lowest MAC address will

beco
priority value defaults to 128. Therefore if all switches retain their defaults,
then the stack master will be determined by MAC address comparison.

Note
New switches are shipped with a Stack Member-ID of 1 and a
priority of 128. If four such switches are created as a stack, the
switch with the lowest MAC address will be selected to be the stack
master (because all priority settings are 128). The remaining three
stack member devices will then reboot and automatically be
assigned ID values of between 2 and 4. The stack master does not
reboot and retains its Stack Member-ID of 1.
For more information about the stack master refer to the Stacking
Introduction and Stacking Commands chapters in the AlliedWare Plus
Operating System Software Reference from www.alliedtelesis.com.
Common Stack Configuration
Once the switches have configured themselves into a VCStack, they all
share the same configuration information and startup scripts.
Stack Management VLAN
Managing the stack is the same as managing an individual switch. You
can connect to the asynchronous console port of any stack member, or
you can set an IP address on a network VLAN (for example, VLAN 1) and
use SSH or Telnet for remote access.
As the switches form themselves into a stack, each switch creates a
common stack ma
the
VLAN ID and the IP address are internal entities that are used between
nagement VLAN and a management IP address. Both
the stacked switches, via the VCStack stacking module interfaces, and
therefore do not appear on the user network.
Initially the stack assigns the default VLAN tag ID of 4094 to the
manage
ment VLAN, and assigns an IP add
ress from the subnet
192.168.255.0 / 28 to this VLAN as the management IP address. Once the
stack has formed, you can change both these settings.

The proprietary high-speed communication protocol that is used over the
stacking links requires multiple twisted pairs and a high level of shielding.
This means that to stack x610 switches, specialized cables and
connections are required.
VCStack Stacking
The stacks are connected via the stacking ports on the VCStack stacking
modules, which are installed in the back of each switch. There are two
VCStack stacking modules available:
The AT-StackXG, which has two full-duplex, 12 Gbps stacking ports
The AT-x6EM/XS2, which has two 10 Gbps SFP+ stacking slots
The following cables are used to connect the stacking ports when using

VCStack restrictions
There are some restrictions to what products and connections you can
combine in a single stack. In general, different switch families cannot be
stacked together and you cannot combine different stacking methods or
cables.

Mixed-mode VCStack (stacking x610 switches with x600 switches)
The x600 and x610 switches support a feature called mixed-mode
stacking. This feature allows x600 and x610 units to be stacked together
to form a single stack. Note that if a x610 switch is to be part of
mixed-mode VCStack then an AT-StackXG must be installed in the switch.

‘boot system’ command.

Note
Steps to set up a
VCStack
There are no set rules regarding the order in which stack configuration
tasks need to be carried out. However, these steps provide a guideline to
help ensure that the stack creation process goes smoothly.
1. Prepare the switches
Before connecting any of the switches together ensure that all switches
have th
licences to enable certain features to operate on the stack, then all stack
members need to have the licences installed. If some stack members have
feature licences installed for features that will not be used on the stack,
and other switches do not have those licences installed, remove those
unnecessary licences.
2. Install and power the stack master

er.
Make sure the stacking cables are crossed over between the stack
members. This means that stack port 1 on switch 1 should connect
to stack port 2 on switch 2. If this is not done, the stack links will not
come up and the stack will not form.
Power up the switch. It will detect that there is already an active master,
and so will come up as a backup member. The active master will assign it
the first available stack ID.
The active master will check that the new stack member has the same
software version as itself. If the software versions are different, the
master will use the software auto-synchronization mechanism to force the
new stack member to run the same software version.
4. Install and power the next backup member

The AT-StackXG and AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking modules are hardware
hot-swappable. You can install or replace a module while the switch is
powered on.
If the stacking module is added or replaced in an operating stack,
the stack topology may change and cause the stack to reboot and
interrupt network traffic.
The AT-StackXG and AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking modules are supported
in all x610 series products.
Do not install an AT-StackXG or AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking module
until you have read the latest version of the AlliedWare Plus Release
Notes and the x610 Series product documentation.
Installing a

Stacking Module
To install an AT-StackXG or AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking module, perform the
following procedure:
1. Remove the module from the shipping package.
Store the packaging material in a safe location. You must use the
original shipping material if you need to return the unit to Allied
Telesis.
2. Remove the blank panel or AT-LBM module from the expansion slot
on the rear panel of the switch by loosening the two captive screws on
the panel with a cross-head screwdriver, as shown in Figure 41.

Figure 41. Removing the Blank Panel from the Expansion Slot
All x610 Series Layer 3 Switch models, except the x610-48Ts/X and
x610-48Ts/X-POE+, are shipped from the factory with a blank panel
installed in the rear panel expansion slot. The x610-48Ts/X and
x610-48Ts/X-POE+ are shipped from the factory with an AT-LBM
module installed.
Do not remove the blank panel from the chassis until you are ready
to install a module. An open slot allows dust to enter the unit and
reduces proper airflow and cooling.
3. Align the edges of either the AT-StackXG or AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking
module with the guides in the slot and carefully slide the module into
the chassis until it is flush with the rear panel of the chassis, as shown
in Figure 42 and Figure 43. Light pressure may be needed to seat the
module on the connector on the rear panel of the chassis.
Do not force the VCStack stacking module into place. Doing so may
damage the connector pins on the backplane inside the chassis. If
there is resistance, remove the module and reinsert it after verifying
that the edges of the card are properly aligned in the guides in the
chassis’ module slot.

The auto-MDI/MDI-X feature on the 10/100/1000Base-T ports
automatically configures the MDI/MDI-X setting when a link is
established with an end node. Available when a port is at the default
setting of Auto-Negotiation, this feature allows you to use a straightthrough twisted pair cable when connecting any type of network
device to a port.
Disabling Auto-Negotiation on a port and setting the speed and
duplex mode manually also disables the auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. A
port where Auto-Negotiation has been disabled defaults to MDI-X.
Disabling Auto-Negotiation may require manually configuring a
port’s MDI/MDI-X setting or using a crossover cable.

Warning
Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceivers
Review the following guidelines before installing an optional SFP or SFP+
transceiver in a switch:
A transceiver can be hot-swapped; the switch can be powered on
when you install it. However, you should always disconnect the cables
first before removing a transceiver.
You must install the transceiver before you connect the cables to it.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. When a fiber optic cable is
not installed, or when you store the transceiver, always keep the plug
in the optical bores. When you do remove the plug, keep it for future
use.
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
A transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device.
The procedure to install SFP and SFP+ transceivers is the same. The
following instructions describe how to install an SFP transceiver in an
x610 switch:
1. Remove the dust plug from a transceiver slot on the switch, as shown
in Figure 52.

ure to install additional SFP or SFP+ transceivers or
go to “Cabling the 10/100/1000Base-T and Fiber Optic Ports” on

Chapter 4: Cabling the Network Ports
Cabling the 10/100/1000Base-T and Fiber Optic Ports
Observe the following guidelines when connecting a twisted pair or fiber
optic cable to a port on the switch:
The connector on the cable should fit snugly into the port on the
switch. The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
Because the 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the switch are auto-MDI/
MDI-X, any type of network device can be connected to a port on the
switch using a straight-through twisted pair cable. If you disable
Auto-Negotiation on the port, the port defaults to MDI-X.
If your network topology contains a loop where two or more network
devices can communicate with each other over more than one network
path, make sure that your switch is properly configured with the
appropriate protocol(s); i.e., STP, ESPR, LACP, etc. Data loops without
these protocols enabled can adversely affect network performance.
In order for a switch port to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex
mode with an end node, the end node should also be using AutoNegotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode mismatch can occur. A switch
port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it detects that the
end node is not using Auto-Negotiation. This can result in a mismatch
if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem, disable Auto-Negotiation on a switch port and
he port’s spe
set t
ed and
duplex mode manua
lly if the end node has a
fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.

Powering on a Switch with a DC AT-PWR250 Power Supply Module
To power on a switch with a DC AT-PWR250 Power Supply Module,
perform the following procedure:
As a safety precaution, install a circuit breaker with a minimum value
of 15 Amps between the equipment and the DC power source.
E9
Always connect the wires to the LAN equipment first before you
connect the wires to the circuit breaker. Do not work with HOT feeds
to avoid the danger of physical injury from electrical shock. Always
be sure that the circuit breaker is in the OFF position before
connecting the wires to the breaker.
E9
For centralized DC power connection, install only in a restricted
access area.
A tray cable is required to connect the power source if the unit is
powered by centralized DC power. The tray cable must be a UL
listed Type TC tray cable and rated at 600 V and 90 degrees C, with
three conductors, minimum 14 AWG.
1. Power off the DC circuit to be used for the chassis.
2. Verify that the On/Off switch on the DC AT-PWR250 Module is in the
Off position.
3. Use the legend above the terminal bl
