S5731-H and S5731S-H Service Port Stacking Support

S5731-H and S5731S-H Service Port Stacking Support

  • For the cables that can be used as stack cables, see "Cables" in the Hardware Description. Using other cables may cause exceptions in the stack system, for example, frequent error-down events on stack ports.
  • Combo ports cannot function as stack member ports.
  • For stacking-supported service ports, some of them can be used as stack ports, whereas some can be used as ordinary service ports.
  • S5731-H and S5731S-H series switches of all versions can set up stacks in service port stacking mode using dedicated stack cables.
  • The number of stacked switches is recommended to be 2 to 9. In addition, when using iMaster NCE-Campus to manage and maintain a stack, ensure that the stack has no more than four member switches.
  • If a card with an interface used as a stack port is replaced with a different type of card, you need to re-configure the stack.

Remarks

S5731-H

Four 10GE SFP+ optical ports

  • 1 m, 3 m, and 5 m SFP+ passive high-speed copper cables
  • 10 m SFP+ active high-speed copper cables
  • 3 m and 10 m AOC cables
  • 10GE SFP+ optical module and optical fiber
  • 0.5 m and 1.5 m SFP+ dedicated stack cables

10 Gbit/s

  • Any models of the S5731-H series can set up a stack.
  • Two types of ports on a switch can be both configured as stack ports, and each logical stack port can contain only one type of ports.
  • When 10GE SFP+ optical ports are used as stack ports, a switch supports a maximum of two logical stack ports, and each logical stack port supports a maximum of four stack member ports. Each switch can use a maximum of four service ports as stack member ports.

  • When electrical ports on an 8-port 10GE interface card or optical ports on a 2-port 25GE interface card working in 8 x 10GE mode are used as stack ports, a switch supports a maximum of two logical stack ports, and each logical stack port supports a maximum of eight stack member ports. Each switch can use a maximum of eight service ports as stack member ports.
  • When optical ports on a 2-port 40GE interface card or a 2-port 25GE interface card working in 2 x 25GE mode are used as stack ports, a switch supports a maximum of two logical stack ports, and each logical stack port supports a maximum of two stack member ports. Each switch can use a maximum of two service ports as stack member ports.
  • 40GE ports do not support the stacking function after they are split into 10GE ports.
