Chapter 1: Overview
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
Twisted Pair Port Pinouts” on page 125.
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
Operating System Software.
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.
“RJ-45
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on the switch ports and set the duplex
mode manually through the AlliedWare Plus
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.
Operating System Software.

Maximum
Distance
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
x610 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide
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
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.
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
When operating at 10 or 100 Mbps in the MDI-X configuration, refer to
the specifications in
When a 10/100/1000Base-T port operates at 1000 Mbps, refer to the
specifications in
Table 19 on page 125.

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 oth
cables. Copper transceivers allow you to add more twisted pair ports to
your x610 Series switch.
The x610-24Ts/X, x610-24Ts/X-POE+, x610-24SPs/X, x610-48Ts/X, and

x610 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide
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

Chapter 1: Overview
The RPS can be the only source of PoE power for the switch or the RPS
can boost the PoE power available from the primary power source, the
power supply module installed in the switch. If the switch does not receive
PoE power from its primary power supply, the available PoE power
depends on the PoE rating of the associated power supply module in
RPS. If the switch is able to get PoE power from both primary power
supply and RPS, the primary power supply and the power supply module
installed in the RPS will share the PoE load.
For information about installing the RPS, consult the documentation
shipped with the unit.

Power Over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
The following section applies to x610-24Ts-POE+, x610-24Ts/X-POE+,
x610-48Ts-POE+ and x610-48Ts/X-POE+ Gigabit Ethernet switches only.
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports on these switches feature Power over
Et
hernet (PoE), defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard, and Power over
Ethernet Plus (PoE+), defined in the IEEE 802.3at standard.
PoE+ is a mechanism for supplying power to
network devices over the
same twisted pair cables used to carry network traffic. Power is injected on
the Ethernet cabling along with data by Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE),
like an Ethernet LAN switch or router. A device that receives its power
over an Ethernet cable is called a Powered Device (PD).
The switch automatically determines whether or not a device connected to
a port is a
PD. A PD has a signature resistor or capacitor that the switch
can detect over the Ethernet cabling. If the resistor or capacitor is present,
the switch assumes that the device is a PD.
Once a PD is discovered, a PSE may optionally perform PD classification
pplying a DC voltage to the port. If the PD supports optional power
by a
classification it will apply a load to the line to indicate to the PSE the
classification the device requires.
For more detailed information about PoE+ see the latest release of the
AlliedW
are Plus
Operating System Software Reference Guide.
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:

A port connected to a network node that is not a PD functions as a regular
Ethernet port, without PoE+. The PoE+ feature remains enabled on the
port but no power is delivered to the device.
On the 24 port x610 PoE+ switches, the PoE+ power supplied 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
ports 47R and 48R is unaffected by insertion of a SFP module into
the corresponding SFP combo port.
Power Capacity Either a 250W (AT-PWR250), 800W (AT-PWR800) or a 1200W

x610-24Ts/X-POE+, x610-48Ts-POE+ and x610-48Ts/X-POE+ switches.
The power supply model that is installed determines the maximum number
of PoE+ ports that are supported on the switch. The following three tables
show the maximum number of PoE+ and PoE ports supported on the
switch, depending on the model of power supply installed. Note that the

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.
When configuring a VCStack, there are no limitations on how the ports on
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).
Features of
VCStacking
A VCStack may also include a resiliency link, which is an extra,
out-of-band, data link between stack members. In the event of loss of
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
Stacking Introduction and Stacking Commands chapters in the AlliedWare
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.
Within the stack itself, switch interconnection is via two links. The second
link is able to provide an alternative data path, so the stack continues to
function if a single link fails. User ports can also be made extremely
resilient by utilizing link aggregation. Aggregated links can span ports,
modules, and even switches within the stack. Creating aggregated links
that span multiple switches within a stack creates a resilient configuration.
Communication will still exist even if a switch and its aggregated ports fail.

Stack
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
switches into a stack” on page 67 for more information.

Resiliency Link The purpose of the resiliency link is to provide the stack members with
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

Note
Stack Formation
A VCStack always contains a master plus a number of stack members. To
be part of a stack, a switch must connect to other potential stack members
via dedicated stacking ports on the VCStack stacking module located in
the rear of the switch.
Once the switches have been physically connected to form a stack,
powering all the members on automatically sets off a number of processes
that enable the stack members to detect the presence of the other stack
members and form themselves into a VCStack.
The Role of the
Stack Master
In addition to being a member of its VCStack, the stack master manages
functions such as software version control and distribution, routing
processing, and network management.
Selecting the Stack Master
The stack members are able to automatically select which switch will
become the stack master. This selection is based on two components:
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
become the stack master. When a stack member is initially booted, its
priority value defaults to 128. Therefore if all switches retain their defaults,
then the stack master will be determined by MAC address comparison.
The stack also assigns a Stack Member-ID number to each member. This
number provides a unique reference number for switches within the stack;
it plays no part in selecting the stack master. The Stack Member-ID is the
entity used as the first digit of the three component port identifier numbers.
For example, port number 2.0.14 has the Stack Member-ID of 2.
Modify your configuration scripts to match any changes you have
made to the Stack Member-ID assignments.
64
x610 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide
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 management VLAN and a management IP address. Both
the VLAN ID and the IP address are internal entities that are used between
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
management VLAN, and assigns an IP address 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.

Connecting
switches into a
stack
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 Modules, Cables, and Connections
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
67
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking
the AT-StackXG stacking module:
High Speed Stacking Cables (0.5 meter) - StackXG/0.5
High Speed Stacking Cables (1.0 meter) - StackXG/1
The specifications for SFP+ transceivers able to be installed in the
AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking module can be found on our Allied Telesis web
site at www.alliedtelesis.com.
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.
x610 Series switches can stack with other x610 switches and with x600
switches, as described in
with x600 switches)” below.
The maximum stack size is:
”Mixed-mode VCStack (stacking x610 switches

4, when stacking 600 Series with x610 Series switches
4, when stacking x600 Series switches
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.
In a mixed-mode VCStack, for stack compatibility the x610 Series
switches operate as x600 Series switches, not as x610 Series switches. If
you stack x610 Series switches with x600 Series switches, note the
following restrictions:
Synchronization disabled. When mixed-mode stacking is enabled the
VCStack software auto synchronization feature is disabled because
the x600 and x610 run different software releases. When mixed-mode
stacking is disabled then the software synchronization feature is
re-enabled. For more information about VCStack software auto
synchronization refer to the Stacking Introduction and Stacking
Commands chapters in the AlliedWare Plus
Software Reference from www.alliedtelesis.com.
Operating System
68
Software upgrades. Because software releases are not synchronized
in a mixed-mode stack, the preferred release file must be manually
copied to each stack member and set individually. The simplest way to
do this is to 'remote-login' to each stack member and then enter the
‘boot system’ command.
x610 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide
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 the same feature licences installed. If you have purchased feature
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
Install and power up the master switch. It will detect that there are no other
members in the stack, so it will elect itself master.
3. Install and power the backup member
Install the next switch, connecting the stacking cable from that switch to
the master.
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 active
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
Repeat step 3 for each of the other switches in the stack, remembering to
connect port 2 of each new switch to port 1 of its neighbor. For last switch
added to the stack, connect port 1 of this switch to port 2 of the first
installed switch.
5. Confirm that the stack is operating
Check that the stack links have all come up successfully. This can be done
by checking the LEDs on the switches. The port LEDs for all stack
69
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking
members should be green. Port LEDs that are off or flashing amber
indicate that the stack is not operating correctly. The master or status LED
will be green on the switch that is the stack master.
6. Configure the stack as one switch
You are now ready to configure the stack with channel groups, VLANs, IP
addresses, and so on.
Once you are happy with the stack configuration, make a backup copy of
the configuration file.
70
x610 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide
Steps to replace a
stack member
If you need to replace a stack member, use the following steps to achieve
a smooth transition.
1. Configure the Stack ID on the replacement switch
Prepare the replacement switch by configuring it with the same stack ID as
the switch that you are replacing.
2. Configure the feature licenses
Ensure that the replacement switch is configured with the same set of
feature licenses as the existing stack members.
3. Remove the failed switch
Unplug the failed switch from the stack.
4. Install the replacement switch
Connect the stacking cables to the replacement switch and power up the
switch. It will detect that there is already an active master, and so will
come up as a stack member.
The active master will check that the new stack member has the same
software version as itself. If the software versions are different, the active
master will use the software auto-synchronization mechanism to force the
new stack member to run the same software version.
Note that if the software releases differ between the stack members
significantly, then the stack master may not be able to upgrade the new
switch automatically. If this happens, you should see a log message
indicating incompatible stack software versions, in which case you will
have to manually upgrade the new switch to the correct release.
The new switch will also receive the startup configuration from the active
master. As the replacement switch has been configured with the same
stack ID as the replaced switch, it will receive exactly the same
configuration as the replaced switch, and will operate exactly as that
switch had.
Provisioning Provisioning provides the ability to pre-configure ports that are not yet
present in a switch or in a stack.
Similarly, if you know that a switch is going to be added to a stack, you can
pre-configure the new switch in anticipation of its addition to the stack.
With provisioning, you can configure stack members and their ports even
though they are not currently physically present, and configure them ready
for future addition. This means that you can either pre-configure ports
belonging to a bay or switch that has not yet been installed, or load a
configuration that references these ports.
It is possible to provision both x610 Series switches and x600 Series
71
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking
switches in a stack. This is possible even if mixed-mode stacking is
disabled on x610 Series switches.

Note
AT-StackXG must be installed.
Preparation Review the following information before installing a VCStack stacking
module:
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
VCStack
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 58.

Figure 58. 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 59 and Figure 60. 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.

Chapter 4: Cabling the Network Ports
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 69.
