BayStack 470-48T Policy SwitchProduct Highlights (v2.2)• 48 10/100 Mbps stackable QoS-enabled switch

– Ports 47 and 48 may be configured as 10/100 or GBIC port

• 2 Built-in GBIC slots for uplink ports• 2 Built-in stacking ports (no cascade module needed)• Technology Innovators

– Distributed MultiLink Trunking (DMLT)– Split MultiLink Trunking (SMLT) with

Passport 8600

• Security features include IEEE 802.1x based security (EAP over LAN), SNMPv3, BaySecure and Radius support

• QoS-enabled for mission-critical users, applications, or devices with L2/L3/L4 packet classification & prioritization*

Ideal for medium-to-large enterprise wiring closets

*Feature released with v2.2.1. Now available from the web


BayStack 470-48T Policy SwitchProduct Highlights (continued)

• Fail-safe stacking• 2.5 Gbps stacking bandwidth• Multiple Spanning Tree groups• Slot for DC-to-DC converter module for

RPS support with BayStack 10 Power Supply Unit (PSU)

• Common software platform• 1U High compact design• Web-Based Management• Auto MDI/MDIX hardware detection


Distributed MultiLink Trunking

Passport 8600 Switch Server

• MultiLink Trunking Provides High Bandwidth and Fault Tolerance

• Stack connections to servers and the network center is protected, even if one switch should fail (Distributed MultiLink Trunking)

• Load-balancing, fail-over protection for uninterrupted access to servers or network center


SMLT (Split MultiLink Trunking)

• Split Multi-Link Trunking– A Fresh approach to the

spanning tree problem

– Current network rules mean that one connection must be blocked.

– Both Links are active

• Advantages– Fail-over reduced to <1sec

– None wasted - You can use what you pay for!

BayStack 470-48T Policy SwitchValue Proposition

• High-density desktop switching– Up to 384 ports in a stack of 8 switches

• Simpler, quicker, more cost-effective stacking– Built-in stacking ports mean no cascade modules needed– Only ones in industry to eliminate cascade module

• 2 Built-in GBIC slots for uplink ports– Double the uplink bandwidth due to dedicated use– No compromise on using uplink ports for stacking– Up to 16 GBIC ports in one stack – highest in the industry

• QoS-enabled for mission-critical users, applications, or devices*– Supports L2/L3/L4 packet classification & prioritization

*Feature released with v2.2.1. Now available from the web

Most traffic flows via the uplink.

Uplink


Typical Competitor’s Implementation• Need to sacrifice 1 GBIC port per

switch for stacking• Trunking is not allowed across

different switches in a stack • Hence uplink to the core is limited to

only 1 GBIC for the whole stack• Single-point-of-failure as only one

uplink connection is available to the core

Uplink to the Core Switch

Uplink Bandwidth Limited to 1 Gbps (Half-duplex).


Distributed MultiLink Trunking (DMLT)

• DMLT allows trunking across different switches in the stack

• No single-point-of-failure as multiple uplinks are used

• Each trunk can have up to 8 Gbps uplink bandwidth (Full-duplex)

• Up to 4 trunks can be configured using all 16 GBIC ports

• For higher resiliency, trunks can connect to separate Passport 8600s running SMLT

Trunk #1

Up to 16 GBIC ports available with DMLT.

To Network Core Switch


BayStack 470-48T SwitchValue Proposition -continued

• Redundancy– Fail-safe stackability

– Load-balancing and fail-over protection with DMLT & SMLT – Technology innovation

– Redundant power & UPS support with BayStack 10 PSU

• Saves valuable rack space with Compact 1U High design

• Lowers training and installation costs with common “look and feel”


BayStack 470-48T Switch - Fail-safe Stacking

• Fail-Safe Stackability– Redundant, self-healing cascade

stacking design – Unlike other stackable switches,

BayStack 470 Switches have no single point of failure (non-matrix)

• Hot Swappable Switches• –48V DC-to-DC converter

module must be ordered to connect to BayStack 10 Power Supply System for RPSU

BayStack 470-48T SwitchSecurity

• Support for IEEE 802.1x based security – Prevents network connectivity without password authorization for added

security and control in physically non-secure areas– Authenticated users are placed in dynamically assigned VLAN– Interoperates with Microsoft Windows XP– Also known as Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP over LAN)

• The first major vendor with SNMPv3 support – User authentication, Data encryption

• Distributed Access List Security– SNMP/Web/Telnet

• RADIUS Authentication Support • BaySecure

– MAC address based security
