IGMP Snooping Feature
For conserving bandwidth and controlling IP Multicast, the IGMP Snooping
feature can provide the same benefit as IP Multicast routers, but in the local area.

IEEE 802.1p Prioritizing
BayStack 350 switches can prioritize the order in which packets are forwarded, on
a per-port basis.

MultiLink Trunking
The MultiLink Trunking feature allows a user to group multiple ports (up to four)
together when forming a link to another switch or server, thus increasing
aggregate throughput of the interconnection between two devices, up to 800 Mb/s
in full-duplex mode. BayStack 350 switches can be configured with up to six
MultiLink Trunks.

Port Mirroring
The Port Mirroring feature (sometimes referred to as conversation steering)
allows a user to designate a single switch port as a traffic monitor for up to two
specified ports or two media access control (MAC) addresses. You can specify
Port-Based monitoring, where all traffic on specified ports is monitored, or
Address-Based monitoring, where traffic between specified MAC addresses is
monitored. You can attach a probe device (such as a Bay Networks StackProbe, or
equivalent) to the designated monitor port.
