7Configuring Stacking
The Avaya 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 NN47203-303 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 Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3524GT, 3524GT-PWR+, 3526T,
3526T-PWR+, 3549 GTS, 3549 GTS-PWR+, 3550T, and 3550T-PWR+ rear
panel provides a Unit Select switch, Cascade Down port, and Cascade Up
port for stacking purposes as shown below:
Base Unit Select Switch – used to designate the base unit
in a stack.
Cascade Down and Cascade Up ports – used to connect a switch to the
next unit in the stack through a cascade cable. Connect one end of the
Cascade Down cable to the Cascade Up port of the next switch in the stack
(shown in the three-switch stack connection block diagram below):
Base Unit Select switches
To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Avaya 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: Avaya 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:

Powering Up
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.
Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to be sure the PWR LED
is lit. If not, check that the power cord is plugged in correctly.
Warning: You must use a power cord set approved for the 3500 Series
switch and the power receptacle type in your country.
The 3500 Series switches begin switching data after the switch is powered up
and has loaded the agent code software which is indicated by both the PWR
and Status LEDs being lit solid green.

The console port is the RJ-45 port shown with a blue border outline on the
front of your ERS 3500 Series switch (note orientation). The port is labeled
console, and can be used to establish a management terminal connection to
the switch.
You can use an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the switch console port to
your management terminal. Avaya recommends you use the Avaya 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.
