Chapter 1: Overview
30 Section I: Basic Operations
Maximum Number of Switches in a Stack
Stacks of the 24-port AT-9424Ts Switch or the AT-9424Ts/XP Switch can
have up to eight units. A stack can have both models and either model can
be the master switch of the stack.
Allied Telesis does not recommend using the 48-port AT-9448Ts/XP
Switch as the master switch of a stack. Consequently, a stack with one or
more 48-port switches should have as the master switch the 24-port
AT-9424Ts Switch or the AT-9424Ts/XP Switch. For stacks of more than
three switches, both the master switch and the backup switch should be
24-port switches. A mixed stack of both 24-port and 48-port switches
should not have more than four AT-9448Ts/XP Switches and should not
exceed a total of eight units, as shown in this table.
Management Interfaces
The AT-S63 Management Software has three management interfaces:
menus, command line commands, and web browser windows. You can
use either the command line commands or the web browser windows to
manage a stack. The menus are only supported when the switches are
used as stand-alone devices.
Management Access Methods
You can manage a stack locally through the Terminal Port on the master
switch or remotely using a Telnet client or a web browser (HTTP). A stack
does not support the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, secured web browser
windows (HTTPS) or enhanced stacking.
