Nortel BayStack 400-2FX Specifications page 4

BaySecure* allows authentication of
all access, not only to the switches for
management and configuration, but to
the infrastructure through these switches.
Integrated with DHCP and other IP
services from Nortel Networks, this
software feature protects the network
from unauthorized access, with full
tracking of network connections.
This enables standards-based RMON
managers and Optivity applications to
manage the network, as well as the device,
with four groups of RMON (Alarms,
Events, History, and Statistics)
on every port.
Port mirroring enables detailed RMON 1
and RMON 2 analysis of switched traffic
using the Nortel Networks StackProbe* or
other external LAN analyzers connected
to any port on the switch. Port mirroring
copies packets flowing through a specified
port and sends the replicated data to the
probe for in-depth analysis of switched
traffic patterns to trouble-shoot problems
and optimize network configurations.
All 10/100 autosense Ethernet port
connectors are wired for MDI-X
connections to other devices. Inexpensive
straight-through unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cables can be used to provide
switch connections to servers, desktops,
and internetworking devices.
The configuration file feature allows for
storing of switch or stack configuration
parameters on a TFTP server.
Configuration parameters can be retrieved
automatically to configure a replacement
switch or stack with the same configuration.
For new installations or when a switch has
failed, this feature saves time in reconfiguring
another switch or stack.
This product has been tested and
certified Year 2000 compliant by
Nortel Networks according to the
test cases identified in Nortel Networks
Year 2000 Test Strategy/Plan.
