x510 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches

If the Operational Status is “Standalone Unit,” as shown in Figure 35 on page 76, the VCStack feature is active on the unit. You must disable it by performing the steps in the rest of this procedure before you can use the SFP+ stacking slots with regular SFP or SFP+ transceivers. The reason the status says “standalone” is because the switch considers itself a stack of one switch.

4.Move to the Global Configuration mode by entering the ENABLE and CONFIGURE TERMINAL commands, as shown in Figure 36.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z awplus(config)#

Figure 36. Moving to the Global Configuration Mode

5.To. disable the VCStack feature on the switch, enter the NO STACK ENABLE command, which has this format:

no stack id enable

The ID parameter is the ID number of the switch, displayed on the ID LED. Replace the parameter with whatever number is on the ID LED. For example, if the ID number of the switch is 1, the default value, enter the command as follows:

awplus(config)# no stack 1 enable

This confirmation prompt in Figure 37 is displayed.

Warning; This will disable the stacking hardware on member-1. Are you sure you want to continue? (y/n):

6.Type Y to disable VCStack on the switch or N to cancel the procedure.

7.Enter the EXIT command to return to the Privileged Exec mode, as shown in Figure 38.

awplus(config)# exit awplus#

8.Enter the WRITE command to save your change in the configuration file. The switch displays the confirmation prompt in Figure 39 on page 78.

Allied Telesis has made significant strides in network infrastructure solutions with its AT-X510 series of managed Ethernet switches. The series includes models such as the AT-X510-28GTX, AT-X510-28GPX, AT-X510-52GTX, AT-X510-28GSX, and AT-X510-52GPX. These switches combine performance, flexibility, and ease of management to meet the demands of various networking environments.

One of the standout features of the AT-X510 series is its robust performance capabilities. These switches are equipped with advanced Layer 2 switching functionalities that support a range of protocols and enhance overall network efficiency. With high forwarding capacities, they ensure that data is transmitted quickly, making them ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video conferencing and cloud services.

Another significant advantage of the AT-X510 series is Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, particularly in the GPX and GSX models. This feature allows the switches to deliver power to connected devices like IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power supplies. This consolidates cabling, simplifies installation, and enhances flexibility in device placement.

The AT-X510 switches also incorporate advanced security functionalities like IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, which ensures that only authorized devices can connect to the network. This is particularly critical in environments where data security is a top priority. Additionally, the switches support VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), which help isolate network traffic, enhance performance, and provide an additional layer of security.

Management and configuration of the AT-X510 series are streamlined through an intuitive web-based interface and support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This simplifies monitoring and troubleshooting, allowing administrators to manage the network efficiently without extensive training.

The hardware design of the AT-X510 series is also worth noting. Built with reliability in mind, these switches come with redundant power supply options, ensuring continued operation during power failures. The fanless design in some models also contributes to quieter operation, making them suitable for office environments.

Overall, the Allied Telesis AT-X510 series, including the AT-X510-28GTX, AT-X510-28GPX, AT-X510-52GTX, AT-X510-28GSX, and AT-X510-52GPX, offers a compelling combination of performance, flexibility, and security. These switches cater to the needs of modern networks, allowing businesses to build efficient, secure, and well-managed network infrastructures.
