Nortel BayStack 400-2FX User manual

Nortel Networks introduces the next
generation of the most successful
workgroup switches ever. Completely
redesigned for faster throughput, support
for high-speed uplink options, and leading-
edge software features, new BayStack* 350
Switches carry on the Nortel Networks
tradition of affordable, high-performance
workgroup switching.
BayStack 350 Switches support 10/100
autosensing on all UTP ports, for seamless
migration to 100 Mbps connections without
time-consuming trips to the wiring closet
whenever end stations are upgraded to
Fast Ethernet. To further simplify network
setups, all ports also automatically sense
half- or full-duplex connections for
high-speed server or switch-to-switch
configurations.
BayStack 350-12T and BayStack
350-24T Switches feature 12 and
24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
ports respectively (see Table 1).

10/100 Autosensing
on Every Port
Every UTP port on the BayStack 350
Switches is equipped with autosense
technology to automatically detect
and support the speed and mode of
a connected device. In addition to
detecting whether a connected device
is operating at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps,
and automatically adjusting to the
optimal speed, each switched port
also automatically detects and supports
full-duplex connections to servers,
power-user end stations or other switches,
as well as half-duplex connections to
legacy NICs or hubs.

eatures and Benefits
lexible Choices
in High-Speed Uplinks
MDAs for Gigabit Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet fiber, four additional 10/100
autosense ports, or future ATM uplinks
provide the high-bandwidth choices
that fit into any network architecture
(see Figure 1).
Redundant
Gigabit Uplink Option
The Gigabit Ethernet MDA is available
with LinkSafe,* which provides two
physical fiber connectors for the Gigabit
uplink. Upon primary path failure,
traffic is diverted to the redundant
path in microseconds, protecting
critical Gigabit Ethernet connections
to servers or the network center.
Wire-Speed Throughput
2.5 Gigabit per second (Gbps) switching
fabric and custom switching ASICs support
full 802.1D-compliant MAC Layer frame
forwarding and filtering across all ports
at the peak rate of 3 million packets per
second. The BayStack 350 Switches
continue the Nortel Networks tradition of
industry-leading throughput performance.
Advanced VLAN Support
Up to 64 port-based or policy-based1
VLANs can be established for each
switch, to extend the broadcast domain
and segment network traffic. Each switch
can also support 4,096 transit VLANs.
802.1Q VLAN Trunking
VLAN trunking is supported on every
port of the switch, allowing efficient
means of transporting broadcast domains
across switches.
802.1p Priority Queuing
Standards-based priority queuing
enables prioritization of traffic by
protocol, so important network traffic
always get through.

MultiLink Trunking
Up to four ports can be “trunked”
together to provide a high-bandwidth,
full-duplex trunk of up to 800 Mbps
capacity. MultiLink Trunking also
provides load-balancing and fail-over
protection for important connections to
other switches or servers: if one of the
trunked links should fail, the remaining
links in a MultiLink Trunk will still be
available. Up to six separate MultiLink
Trunks can be configured per switch.
IGMP Snooping
The BayStack 350 Switches feature a new
level of efficient IP MultiCast support by
examining (“snooping”) all IGMP traffic
in hardware at line rate, and pruning
unwanted data streams from affecting
network or end station performance.
Enterprise-Size
MAC Address Table
BayStack 350 Switches support more
than 16,000 MAC addresses per switch
for deployment of large-scale enterprise
networks with many attached devices and
workgroups connected to each switch.
(In a full 802.1Q environment, up to
32,000 MAC addresses are supported.)
Supports
Spanning Tree Protocol
BayStack 350 Switches include built-in
support for Spanning Tree Protocol
(IEEE 802.1D), which detects and
eliminates logical loops in the network.
When multiple paths exist, the switch
will automatically place some ports on
standby to form a network with the most
efficient traffic pathways, avoiding the
continual looping of frames.
ully Integrated
into Optivity Network
Management Software1
BayStack 350 Switches feature built-in
support for Optivity* network management
software, enabling complete Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
and RMON monitoring and control.
Network administrators can manage
the entire network, including all hubs,
switches, and routers, from a single
management station, dramatically reducing
the network total cost of ownership.
Web-Based Management1
BayStack 350 Switches include built-in
Web-based network management, so
network administrators can easily monitor
the status and access data about their
network via the local corporate intranet,
or from any World Wide Web-connected
PC, anywhere in the world.
BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Switches Data Sheet
lexible Management Choices
In addition to switch management via
Optivity and any standard Web browser,
an easy-to-use menu-driven interface
can be accessed via console or Telnet for
complete configuration and management
of the BayStack 350 Switch.
Other Advanced
Management eatures
• Adjustable rate limits protect the LAN
against broadcast or multicast storms
that can severely limit performance.
• BootP and TFTP support allows
centralized switch IP address assignment,
software upgrades, and SNMP agent
updates over the network.
1Available in future software agent release.

BaySecure Secure LAN Access1
BaySecure* allows authentication of
all access, not only to the switches for
management and configuration, but to
the infrastructure through these switches.
Integrated with DHCP and other IP
services from Nortel Networks, this
software feature protects the network
from unauthorized access, with full
tracking of network connections.
Concurrent RMON
on Every Port
This enables standards-based RMON
managers and Optivity applications to
manage the network, as well as the device,
with four groups of RMON (Alarms,
Events, History, and Statistics)
on every port.
Enhanced Port Mirroring
Port mirroring enables detailed RMON 1
and RMON 2 analysis of switched traffic
using the Nortel Networks StackProbe* or
other external LAN analyzers connected
to any port on the switch. Port mirroring
copies packets flowing through a specified
port and sends the replicated data to the
probe for in-depth analysis of switched
traffic patterns to trouble-shoot problems
and optimize network configurations.
RJ-45 Connectors
Wired for MDI-X
All 10/100 autosense Ethernet port
connectors are wired for MDI-X
connections to other devices. Inexpensive
straight-through unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cables can be used to provide
switch connections to servers, desktops,
and internetworking devices.
Recovery Configuration
ile Support
The configuration file feature allows for
storing of switch or stack configuration
parameters on a TFTP server.
Configuration parameters can be retrieved
automatically to configure a replacement
switch or stack with the same configuration.
For new installations or when a switch has
failed, this feature saves time in reconfiguring
another switch or stack.
Year 2000 Compliant
This product has been tested and
certified Year 2000 compliant by
