Stacking Configuration Tips
When stacking more than two switches, use the AT-9424Ts or AT-9424Ts/XP as the master
and backup master switches.
When adding a member switch to a stack, add one switch at a time. Ensure that the stack is
up and stable before adding another member switch.
All ports are disabled during stack discovery. This means that each time you add or remove a
switch from the stack, switching is suspended across all ports until the discovery process is
complete.
Remember that there are different configuration files for the standalone configuration and the
stacking configuration. Be sure to create your desired configuration on both images in case
there is a stack failure.
Table sizes do NOT increase in Stack mode. The table sizes in a stack are:
16k MAC Addresses
2k ARP Entries
4094 VLANs
A stack can have up to four 48-port AT-9448Ts/XP Switches and two 24-port AT-9424Ts / AT-
9424Ts/XP (Master) or eight 24-port AT-9424Ts / AT-9424Ts/XP Switches.
