MultiLink Trunking

The MultiLink Trunking feature allows you 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 when an optional 100BASE-T MDA is installed). BayStack
410-24T switches can be configured with up to six MultiLink Trunks. The trunk
members can be configured within a single unit in the stack or distributed between
any of the units within the stack configuration (distributed trunking).

IEEE 802.1Q VLANs

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.
This feature allows network flexibility because you can reassign VLANs to
accommodate network moves, additions, and changes, eliminating the need to
change physical cabling.

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.
