Hunt Groups

Hunt groups allow you to aggregate bandwidth from multiple ports

so they act as one high-bandwidth switch port. Hunt groups create

multi-gigabit pipes to transport traffic through the highest traffic

areas of your network. You can create hunt groups that interoperate

with other vendors' equipment (for example, Cisco's Etherchannel

and Sun's Quad Adapter).

The Avaya P550R/P580/P880/P882 Multiservice switches are

delivered as a plug-and-play IEEE 802.1D standard bridge, but

support several VLAN tagging schemes. This makes the switch

highly interoperable in existing networks because:

Any port can be a trunk port.

Ports have configurable VLAN tagging on a per-port basis.

Ports process a number of popular VLAN tagging schemes,

including major vendors' proprietary schemes.

The following are features of Open Trunk Technology:

Frame encapsulation

Identifies frame VLAN via tag

Associates frame priority

Multiple tagging formats

A major vendor's multi-level tagging scheme

3Com VLAN Tag & PACE priority signalling

Translation to and from any format. A packet can enter the

switch with a 3Com SuperStack II VLAN tag and exit the

switch as a multi-layer tagged packet.
