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.
For more information about the IGMP snooping feature, see
page

Configuration and Switch Management

The BayStack 410-24T switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to
operate in any 10BASE-T network. Optional MDAs are available for connecting
to 100BASE-T networks. You can manage the switch using the Nortel Networks
Optivity
Software, or any generic SNMP-based network management software; however,
you must assign an IP address to the switch or stack, depending on the mode of
operation. You can set both addresses by using the Console/Comm Port or BootP,
which resides on the switch. For more information about using the Console/
Comm Port to configure the switch, see

Flash Memory Storage

The following two sections describe switch parameters that are stored in flash
memory.

Switch Software Image

Your switch's software image is stored in flash memory. The flash memory allows
you to update your switch software image with a newer version, without changing
the switch hardware (see
connection between the switch and the TFTP load host is required to download
the software image.
If a BootP server is set up properly on the network and the BayStack 410-24T
switch detects a corrupted software image during the self-test, the switch
automatically uses TFTP to download a new software image.
