Avaya P332GT-ML Overview

Introduction

The P332GT-ML is a powerful Multilayer Policy Gigabit Ethernet stackable switch.
It enhances the P330 line to support high density multilayer Gigabit Ethernet
solutions.
The Avaya P330 family of stackable Ethernet workgroup switches includes a range
of modules with 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, a Layer 3 capability, and ATM and
WAN expansion modules.
An Avaya P330 stack can contain up to 10 switches and backup power supply units.
The stacked switches are connected using stacking Modules which plug into a slot
in the back of the Avaya P330. They are connected using the X330SC or X330LC
cable (if the stack is split between two racks). The Avaya X330RC cable connects the
top and bottom switches in the stack; this connection provides redundancy and hot-
swappability. A P330 stack is managed as a single IP entity.

About the P332GT-ML

Basic information about the P332GT-ML follows:
• The Avaya P332GT-ML has ten 100/1000Base-T and two GBIC (SFP) ports, and
provides Layer 2 and optional Layer 3 Ethernet switching. Like other members
of the Avaya P330 family, the P332GT-MLis available in AC and DC versions.
• Multilayer switching with QoS, Policy Management and multiple levels of
security and redundancy make the Avaya P332GT-ML an ideal part of a
converged network. The P332GT-ML is ready for voice and data applications,
and supports IEEE standards for VLAN Tagging, Gigabit Ethernet, Spanning
Tree and Flow Control.
The Avaya P332GT-ML can be deployed with other products in the P330 family in
stacks of up to ten switches. This makes increasing port density or adding new
technologies as simple as "plug and play."
