Status of the

VCStack Feature

Figure 39. Saving the Changes with the WRITE Command

9.Enter the REBOOT command to reboot the switch.

10.At the confirmation prompt, type “Y” for yes.

11.Wait for the switch to initialize its management software and afterwards examine the Switch ID LED. The switch is ready for normal network operations as a stand-alone unit when its ID number is “0.” Refer to the Software Reference for x510 Series Switches, AlliedWare Plus Operating System, for instructions on how to configure the operating parameters. If the number is not “0,” repeat this procedure.

Another way to confirm that VCStack is disabled on the switch is by displaying the status of the last two SFP+ slots on the switch. These are slots 27 and 28 on the 28-port switches and slots 51 and 52 on the 52-port switches. If VCStack is disabled, you should be able to display the status of the slots even when they do not have transceivers. If VCStack is not disabled, the switch displays a message that it cannot find the slots. To view the status of the stacking slots, perform this procedure:

1.Start a management session on the switch. For directions, refer to “Configuring the Switch for Stand-alone Operations” on page 74.

2.Log on to the switch. The default user name is “manager” and the password is “friend”.

3.From either the User Exec mode or Privileged Exec mode, enter the SHOW INTERFACE command to display the status of one of the last two SFP+ slots on the switch. For example, for the AT-x510-28GTX Switch, enter this command to view the status of slot 27:

show interface port1.0.27

4.For the AT-x510-52GTX Switch, enter this command to view the status of slot 51:

show interface port1.0.51

If VCStack is disabled, the switch displays the status of the designated slot. An example is shown in Figure 40 on page 79.
