    License Certificate with a License Authorization Code (LAC) that enables a specific number of stacking licenses for one or multiple ERS 2500 series switches. Each ERS 2500 series switch requires one license file to unlock stacking functionality. A single license file can contain up to 1000 switch MAC addresses for installation on multiple switches.

    Stack MAC address When a switch participates in a stack configuration, a stack MAC address is automatically assigned during stack initialization. The stack MAC address is the base unit MAC address plus 1. If another unit in the stack is assigned as the base unit, the new stack MAC address is the MAC address of the new base unit plus 1.

    A RS-232 communications cable can be attached to the console port of any switch in the stack to establish a console connection. • A software upgrade can be performed on the stack from any switch using the console interface, a Telnet session, the web-based management interface, or any SNMP-based management software.

    Redundant cascade stacking The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series allows a stack of up to 8 units into a dual-path cascade stack. If any single unit fails or if a cable is accidently disconnected, other units in the stack remain operational without interruption.

    The new unit cannot automatically resume operation as the base unit even with the Unit Select switch set to Base. To restore the stack to its original running state with the new unit set to Base using the Unit Select switch, the switch stack must be reset.

    AUR is intended for a stack configuration of two or more units. In a two-unit stack configuration, if a unit fails, the remaining unit becomes a standalone switch. AUR loads the configuration of the failed unit in the replacement of ERS 2500 Series unit if the failed unit was a non-Base Unit.

    2500 Series reverts to half-duplex mode. When autonegotiation-capable devices are attached to the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series, the ports negotiate down from 100 Mb/s speed and full-duplex mode until the attached device acknowledges a supported speed and duplex mode.

  • Page 78: Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series

    The high speed flow control feature lets you control traffic and avoid congestion on the gigabit full-duplex link. If the receive port buffer becomes full, the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series issues a flow-control signal to the device at the other end of the link to suspend transmission. When the receive buffer is no longer full, the switch issues a signal to resume the transmission.

    The Rate Limiting feature lets you configure the threshold limits for broadcast and multicast packets ingressing on a port for a given time interval. The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series drops any packets received above the threshold value if the traffic ingressing on the port exceeds the threshold.
