SECTION 1: OVERVIEW

Avaya P334T-ML User’s Guide 1
Chapter 1
Avaya P334T-ML Overview
Introduction
The P334T-ML is a powerful Multilayer Policy 10/100 BASE-T and Gigabit Ethernet
stackable switch. It enhances the P330 line to support high density multilayer
10/100 BASE-T and Gigabit Ethernet solutions.
The Avaya P330 family of stackable Ethernet workgroup switches includes a range
of modules with 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, a Layer 3 capability, and ATM and WAN
expansion modules.
An Avaya P330 stack can contain up to 10 switches and backup power supply units.
The stacked switches are connected using stacking Modules which plug into a slot
in the back of the Avaya P330. They are connected using the X330SC or X330LC
cable (if the stack is split between two racks). The Avaya X330RC cable connects the
top and bottom switches in the stack; this connection provides redundancy and
hot-swappability. A P330 stack is managed as a single IP entity.
About the P334T-ML
Basic information about the P334T-ML follows:
• The Avaya P334T-ML has forty-eight 10/100BASE-T and two GBIC (SFP) ports,
and provides Layer 2 and optional Layer 3 Ethernet switching. Like other
members of the Avaya P330 family, the P334T-ML is available in AC and DC
versions.
• Multilayer switching with QoS, Policy Management, and multiple levels of
security and redundancy make the Avaya P334T-ML an ideal part of a
converged network. The P334T-ML is ready for voice and data applications, and
supports IEEE standards for VLAN Tagging, Gigabit Ethernet, Spanning Tree,
and Flow Control.
The Avaya P334T-ML can be deployed with other products in the P330-ML family
in stacks of up to ten switches. This makes increasing port density or adding new
technologies as simple as “plug and play.”
Avaya P334T-ML Features
• Up to 480 10/100Base-T ports in a stack.
• Octaplane™ 8 Gbps stacking fabric
• Stack, Port & LAG Redundancy
• Multiple VLANs per port

Layer 3 Features P330-ML
• RIP v.1, RIP v.2, OSPF. ARP, ICMP, DHCP/BOOTP relay
• VRRP and SRRP Redundancy
•QualityofService
• Access control
Network Management and Monitoring
Comprehensive network management and monitoring are key components of
today’s networks. Therefore we have provided multiple ways of managing the
P330-ML to suit your needs.
Device Manager (Embedded Web)
The built-in P330 Device Manager (Embedded Web Manager) allows you to manage
a P330 stack using a Web browser without purchasing additional software. This
application works with the Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator
web browsers and Sun Microsystems Java Plug-in.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The P330CLI provides a terminal type configuration tool for configuration of
P330-ML features and functions. You can access the CLI locally, through the serial
interface, or remotely via Telnet.

Chapter 1 Avaya P334T-ML Overview
Avaya P334T-ML User’s Guide 3
Avaya Integrated Manager
When you need extra control and monitoring or wish to manage other Avaya
equipment, then the Integrated Manager network management suite is the answer.
This suite provides the ease-of-use and features necessary for optimal network
utilization.
• MSNM is available for Microsoft Windows 95/NT/2000 and Solaris 2.8
• MSNM can operate in Stand-Alone mode with Windows NT/2000 and
Solaris 2.8.
• MSNM operates under HP OpenView for Windows 95/NT/2000
Port Mirroring
The P330-ML provides port mirroring for additional network monitoring
functionality. You can filter the traffic and mirror either incoming traffic to the
source port or both incoming and outgoing traffic. This allows you to monitor the
network traffic you need.
Ports which are members in a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) cannot also be used as
Port Mirroring Destination or Source ports.
Within the P334T-ML switch, port mirroring can be configured between ports in the
three following groups:
• 1-12, 25-36
• 13-24, 37-48
• 51, 52
On the stack level, port mirroring pairs can be configured between any Giga port,
and between any Giga port on the P334T-ML and any 10/100Mbps port not residing
on a P334T-ML.
SMON
The P330-ML switches support Avaya’s ground-breaking SMON Switched
Network Monitoring, which the IETF has now adopted as a standard (RFC2613).
SMON provides unprecedented top-down monitoring of switched network traffic
at the following levels:
• Enterprise Monitoring
• Device Monitoring
• VLAN Monitoring
• Port-level Monitoring
This top-down approach gives you rapid troubleshooting and performance
trending to keep the network running optimally.
LAn Avaya Integrated Manager Licence is required to run SMON monitoring.
LYou need to purchase one SMON License per P330 Stack

Chapter 1 Avaya P334T-ML Overview

Fans, Power Supply, and BUPS-ML Monitoring
P330-ML switches have integrated sensors which provide advance warnings of fan
failure, power supply failure or Backup Power Supply (BUPS-ML) failure via
management.
