Changing the stack mode of a switch requires a reboot of the switch.

Stack Unit Modes

Devices can operate in one of the following Stack Unit modes:

• Standalone—The device is not connected to any other device and

does not have a stack port.

• Native Stacking—A device can connect to other devices of the same

type through its stack ports to form a stack. All units in a native stack

must be of the same type (either all Sx500s or all SG500Xs).

• Basic Hybrid—A device can connect to other devices from the 500

series to form a stack. In this mode, VRRP and/or RIP are not supported.

The GUI for Sx500 devices is displayed, even if the stack master is

SG500X, since the feature set is that of the Sx500.

In this mode, any type of device can function as master or backup. Only

5G stacking ports can be used as stack ports.

• Advanced Hybrid—A device can connect to other devices from the

500 series to form a stack. In this mode, VRRP and/or RIP are supported.

Only SG500X devices can function as master/backup, and auto

numbering of units is not supported.

Sx500 devices can only be slaves, therefore up to six Sx500 units can

be stacked with two SG500X devices.

• Advanced Hybrid XG — A device in the SG500XG series can connect

to other SG 500X devices to form a stack, with the SG500X feature set.

In this mode, VRRP and/or RIP are supported.

Any device can function as master, backup, or slave.
