Configuring Stacking
The Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series provides fail-safe stackability. You can connect up to eight ERS 3500 Series devices in a stack to provide uninterrupted connectivity for up to 192 to 208 ports.
You can manage the stack as a single unit.
To install/add a unit to a stack, you must change the default mode from standalone to stacking mode and reboot the unit. See Installing the Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series for more details.
Note: Stacking is not available for ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switches. Stacking is only supported with switches operating with
Release 5.1 or later software.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 3524GT, 3524GT-PWR+, 3526T,
3526T-PWR+, 3549 GTS, and 3549 GTS-PWR+ back panel provides a
Unit Select switch, Cascade Down port, and Cascade Up port for stacking purposes as shown below:

To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Ethernet Routing
Switch 3500 Series cascade cables to ensure fail-safe stacking. For stacking three or more units (maximum eight units per stack), order the 46 cm, 1.5 m, or 3 m cables as applicable (see “Before You Start” – step 3 for Order Codes).
1.
Ensure that all switches for the stack are rack mounted.
2. Slide the Unit Select switches on the back of the units to the appropriate
position, depending on whether they are a base unit or non-base unit:
• Base Unit (Unit 1) - Slide the Unit Select switch to the RIGHT
• Non-Base Unit (Units 2-8) - Slide the Unit Select switch to the
LEFT
NOTE: The Base Unit Select switch defaults to be in the Non-Base position. Only one switch in the stack must have the Base Unit Select switch set to the Base position.
Because stack parameters are associated with the base unit, the physical stack order depends on the base unit position and whether you configure the stack cascade up (stack up) or cascade down (stack down). This designation depends on the stack cabling arrangement.
IMPORTANT: Extreme Networks recommends that you use a Cascade
Down configuration.
3.
Connect stacking cables as required for a Cascade Up (stack up) or
Cascade Down (stack down) configuration as shown below:

Connect the AC power cord to the back of the switch or switches, and then plug the other end of the cord into an AC power outlet. If powering up a stack of switches, power on all switches together.
You can use an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the switch console port to your management terminal. Extreme recommends you use the RJ-45
Console Cable part number: AL2011022-E6. Alternatively a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter or other suitable console cables can be used - the maximum length of a console cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters). The following table describes the
RJ-45 console port pin-out information. You can use the pin-out information to verify or create a console cable for use with your maintenance terminal.

Setting IP parameters using the console port and CLI QuickStart
To set IP parameters using the console port and CLI Quickstart, perform the following tasks: a.
Connect a terminal to the console port of the switch.
Any terminal or PC with an appropriate terminal emulator can be used as the management station. The Terminal emulation settings table below lists the parameters that must be used with any terminal emulation software used to connect to the switch.
To connect to the switch console port, you require a console cable with an RJ-45 connector to match the console port on the switch.
b.
Set the terminal protocol on the terminal or terminal emulation program to
VT100 and VT100/ANSI.
c. Connect to the switch using the terminal or terminal emulation application.
d.
The Extreme switch banner appears when you connect to the switch through the Console port. Enter Ctrl+Y and type the following CLI commands:
• enable
• install
The ERS 3500 will set a default IP address of 192.168.1.1/24 by default if the switch does not get its IP from another source.
The CLI Quickstart welcome screen helps you to enter the information requested at each prompt.
