BayStack 470 Switches

• Choice of twenty four (24) or forty eight (48) 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports provides high-speed desktop switching.
• Two built-in GBIC ports provide dedicated uplink connectivity to other switches, servers, or network core switches such as Nortel Networks Passport 8600 switches.
• Built-in stacking ports allow eight BayStack 470 and other BayStack Switches to be combined in a single stack, for maximum flexibility. Up to 384 ports in a stack.
• Stacks with four different switch types: BayStack 460-24T-PWR, BayStack Business Policy Switch, BayStack 470-48T and BayStack 470-24T using BoSS. The BayStack 470-24T can also stack with BayStack 450.
• Up to 16 GBIC ports are available for pure uplink connectivity in a full stack -- the highest in the market -- because GBIC ports are not sacrificed for stacking.
• Distributed MultiLink Trunking (DMLT) across switches in the stack allow trunked ports to span multiple units of the stack for fail-safe connectivity to mission critical servers and the network center with active redundant links in one trunk. MultiLink Trunking (MLT) groups ports on one or more units in a stack to provide up to 800 Mbps (when used with 10/100 ports) or up to 8 Gbps (when used with Gigabit uplink ports).
• Highest levels of security are provided by features including Secure Shell (SSH), IEEE 802.1x based security (also known as Extensible Authentication Protocol - EAP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3), IP Manager's list, MAC-address based security and Remote Authentication Dial-In User Services (RADIUS) authentication. User and administrator authentication limit access to only authorized and trusted personnel; encryption protects the confidentiality of management transactions.
• Quality of Service features such as traffic classification, prioritization, policing, shaping, and marking enable networks to offer reliable connectivity and required bandwidth for delay-intolerant and mission-critical applications such as VoIP.
• Support for up to 16,000 MAC addresses per switch enables deployment of large-scale enterprise networks with many attached devices and workgroups.
• Up to 256 port-based and protocol-based VLANs can be established for each switch or across a switch stack to extend the broadcast domain and segment network traffic.
• Built-in Web-based management or Optivity integration makes it easy for network administrators to manage status and configurations via the local corporate intranet or from any Web-connected PC, anywhere in the world.
