AT-S63 Stack Command Line User’s Guide
Section I: Basic Operations 43
The following is an example of the PORT parameter in the CREATE
SWITCH TRUNK command, which is used to create static port trunks. The
example creates a static port trunks of ports 3 to 5 on module 2 and ports
7 and 8 on module 4:
create switch trunk=load22 port=2.3-2.5,4.7-4.8
MAC Address Tables
When a switch in a stack learns a new source MAC address of a node
connected to one of its port, it stores the address in its MAC address table
and then shares the address with the other switches, which store the
address in their tables. This sharing of addresses by the switches in a
stack means that all the MAC address tables have the same entries.
The SHOW SWITCH FDB command is used to display the contents of the
MAC address table of a switch. You will notice when you use the
command that it does not permit you to specify a particular switch in a
stack. Rather, it displays only the MAC address table in the master switch.
However, since all of the tables in a stack are the same, viewing the
master switch’s table is equivalent to viewing the MAC address tables in
the other switches, too.
File Systems
The master switch has the only active file system in a stack. The file
systems on the member switches are not accessible.
Compact Flash Memory Card Slots
The master switch has the only active compact flash memory card slot in a
stack. The slots in the member switches are inactive.
