Page 35 ID (Renumber Stack Unit table full). The unit is on the ring but cannot participate in the stack configuration. The switch is configured as the stack base unit. The switch is not configured as the stack base unit (or is in standalone mode). Blinking Stack configuration error: Indicates that multiple base units or no base units are configured in the stack.
Page 36: Back Panel
For this reason, you should always assign the temporary base unit as the base unit (set the Unit Select switch to Base) until the failed unit is repaired or replaced. The corresponding port is set to operate at 10 Mb/s and the link is good.
Page 37: Ac Power Receptacle
AC Power Receptacle The AC power receptacle accepts the AC power cord (supplied). For installation outside of North America, make sure that you have the proper power cord for your region. Any cord used must have a CEE-22 standard V female connector on one end and must meet the IEC 320-030 specifications.

Page 42: Virtual Local Area Networks (Vlans)
BayStack 410-24T switches support up to 64 port-based or protocol-based VLANs. When a switch port is configured to be a member of a VLAN, it is added to a group of ports (workgroup) that belong to one broadcast domain. You can assign different ports (and therefore the devices attached to these ports) to different broadcast domains.
Page 43: Security
Your BayStack 410-24T switch security feature can provide three levels of security for your local area network (LAN): • MAC address-based security -- Limits access to the switch based on allowed source MAC addresses. • RADIUS-based security -- Limits administrative access to the switch through user authentication.
Page 44 (see -- SNMP-based security is used to limit administrative access through selective IP filtering (see page -- The switch is located in a locked closet, accessible only by authorized Technical Services personnel. • Student dormitory Dormitory rooms are typically occupied by two students and have been prewired with two RJ-45 jacks.
Page 45: Mac Address-Based Security
The MAC address-based security feature is based on Nortel Networks BaySecure ™ Ethernet networks from unauthorized surveillance and intrusion.

Page 48: Configuration Parameters
The term autonegotiation refers to a standardized protocol (IEEE 802.3u) that exists between two IEEE 802.3u-capable devices. Because the BayStack 410-24T switch uses fixed 10BASE-T ports, the autonegotiation feature does not negotiate the port speed when connecting to another IEEE 802.3u-capable device. The BayStack 410-24T switch only negotiates the best duplex mode.
Page 49: Multilink Trunking
BayStack 410-24T switches support up to 64 port-based VLANs with IEEE 802.1Q tagging available per port. When a switch port is configured to be a member of a VLAN, it is added to a group of ports (workgroup) that belong to one broadcast domain. You can assign different ports (and therefore the devices attached to these ports) to different broadcast domains.
Page 50: Bootp Automatic Ip Configuration/Mac Address
You can attach a probe device (such as a Nortel Networks StackProbe, or equivalent) to the designated monitor port. For more information about the port mirroring feature, see (Conversation BootP Automatic IP Configuration/MAC Address The BayStack 410-24T switch has a unique 48-bit hardware address, or MAC address, that is printed on a label on the back panel.
Page 51: Snmp Mib Support
SNMP MIB Support The BayStack 410-24T switch supports an SNMP agent with industry standard MIBs, as well as private MIB extensions, which ensures compatibility with existing network management tools. The BayStack 410-24T switch supports the MIB-II (RFC 1213), the Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), and the RMON MIB (RFC 1757), which provide access to detailed management statistics.
Page 52: Network Configuration
You can use BayStack 410-24T switches to connect workstations, personal computers (PCs), and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch, through a shared media hub that is connected to the switch, or by creating a virtual LAN (VLAN) through the switch.

When a tagged frame exits the switch through a tagged member port, the frame header remains unchanged (original VID remains).
Page 70 • Filtering database identifier (FID) -- the specific filtering/forwarding database within the BayStack 410-24T switch that is assigned to each VLAN. The current version of software assigns all VLANs to the same FID. This is referred to as Shared VLAN Learning in the IEEE 802.1Q specification.

Page 73: Vlans Spanning Multiple Switches
VLANs Spanning Multiple Switches You can use VLANs to segment a network within a switch. When connecting multiple switches, it is possible to connect users of one VLAN with users of that same VLAN in another switch. However, the configuration guidelines depend on whether both switches support 802.1Q tagging.
Page 74: Vlans Spanning Multiple Untagged Switches
VLANs Spanning Multiple Untagged Switches Figure 1-23 configuration switch S2 does not support 802.1Q tagging and a single switch port on each switch must be used for each VLAN. For this configuration to work properly, spanning tree participation must be set to Disabled because the STP is not supported across multiple LANs.
Page 75 Because the other link connecting VLAN 2 is placed into Blocking mode, stations on VLAN 2 in switch S1 cannot communicate with stations in VLAN 2 on switch S2. With multiple links only one link will be forwarding.
Page 76: Shared Servers
Shared Servers BayStack 410-24T switches allow ports to exist in multiple VLANs for shared resources, such as servers, printers, and switch-to-switch connections. It is also possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in Figure 1-25.

Page 105: Before Configuring Trunks
Before Configuring Trunks When you create and enable a trunk, the trunk members (switch ports) take on certain settings necessary for correct operation of the MultiLink Trunking feature. These settings, along with specific configuration rules, must be considered before configuring your MultiLink Trunk.
Page 106 • All trunk members must have the same VLAN configuration before the Trunk Configuration screen’s Trunk Status field can be set to Enabled (see Configuration” on • When an active port is configured in a trunk, the port becomes a trunk member as soon as the Trunk Status field is set to Enabled.
