Features of the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series 133 The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series can create two types of VLANs: • IEEE 802.1Q port-based VLANs Port-based VLANs ﬁlter on the 802.1Q value of the packet. Tagged packets enter the device that contains an 802.1Q value. Untagged packets assume the PVID value assigned to the inbound port as the 802.1Q value.
Page 134: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
VLANs. The operation of the MSTP is similar to the current Nortel proprietary STP. The 4500 Series switch can use RSTP and MSTP to achieve the following: • Reduce converging time from 30 seconds to less than 1 second when topology changes in the network (that is, the port goes up or down).
Page 135: Trunk Groups
8 Gb in full-duplex mode. You can conﬁgure the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series with up to 6 multilink trunks. You can conﬁgure the trunk members within a single unit in the stack. You can distribute trunk members between any of the units within the stack conﬁguration.

Page 147: Power Over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series 4550T-PWR and 4548-GT-PWR are Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). They support Power over Ethernet (PoE) on all 10/100/1000 ports. PoE is based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. PoE is the ability of the 4550T-PWR and the 4548-GT-PWR to power network devices over the Ethernet cable.
Page 148: Poe Overview
Manager system, IP phones, hubs, and wireless access points. You can use these switches with all network devices. By using the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series 4550T-PWR or the 4548-GT-PWR, you can plug any IEEE802.3af-compliant powered device into a front-panel port and receive power in that port. Data also can pass simultaneously on that port.
Page 149: Port Power Priority
The switches support both PoE and standard LAN devices. The power detection function of the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series 4550T-PWR and the 4548-GT-PWR operate independently of the data link status. A device that is already operating the link for data or a device that is not yet operational can request power.
