    Note: The network installation must meet the requirements described in this chapter to ensure satisfactory performance of this equipment. Failure to do so will produce poor network performance.

    Note: The SecureStack A2 Configuration Guide and the Cabling Guide referred to in the following sections can be found on the Enterasys Networks World Wide Web site:http://www.enterasys.com/support/manuals

    For details about obtaining the manuals, refer to Related Documents on page xvi.

    Note: If an RJ45 port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Category 3 cabling does not meet the 100 Mbps specifications. Refer to 100BASE-TX Network (page 2-2) for information about 100BASE-TX networks and cabling.

    Note: When using the RJ45 ports on the SecureStack A2 for 100 Mbps operation use Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms.

    The fixed SecureStack A2 ports are capable of operating at 10 and 100 Mbps. This is accomplished by the SecureStack A2 when Auto-Negotiation is enabled. This enables the SecureStack A2 to automatically sense the transmission speed of the other device and adjust for the speed accordingly.

    2. (Optional)Ifdesired,changethemanagementswitchusingthesetswitchmovemanagementcommandasdescribedintheSecureStackA2ConfigurationGuide.

    ImportantThe following procedures assume that all switches have a clean configuration from manufacturing. When adding a new switch to an already running stack, it is also assumed that the new switch is using the same firmware image version as other switches in the stack.

    Note: Once switch IDs are assigned, they are persistent and will be retained during a power cycle to any or all of the switches.

    3. Applypowertothenewswitch.

    Important Considerations About Using Clear Config in a StackWhen using the clear config command (as described in the SecureStack A2 Configuration Guide) to clear configuration parameters in a stack, it is important to remember the following:

    Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack.

    Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch IDs and switch priority values.

    Note: The power supply in the switch has automatic voltage sensing that allows connection to power sources ranging from 100 to 240 VAC.

    Note: If you plan to connect all the switches quickly to allow automatic Manager selection, wait until all switches are fully operational before proceeding to the next step.

    If you plan to power up each switch and allow it to become fully operational before applying power to the next switch, proceed to the next step.

    Caution: To prevent damaging the switch, ONLY connect a Power over Ethernet-compliant Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the redundant power supply connector. The switch is only compatible with the SecureStack C2RPS-POE redundant power supply system.

    Precaucin: Conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack PoE (C2RPS-POE) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede daarse.

    Note: When switches are connected in a stack configuration and all stacking cables are connected before powering up the switches, one switch in the stack will be automatically designated as the Manager of the stack and its Console port will remain active. All other switches will become Member switches and their Console ports will be deactivated.
