The way in which businesses use LANs is
changing and the performance requirement at
the edge of the network is becoming more
demanding. IP telephony and other collabo-
rative applications are driving more traffic to
the edge of the network. As file sizes continue
to grow, users need more bandwidth. Quite
simply, the convergence of voice, video, data,
and storage enables users to do more from
their desktop. Enterprises need to be able to
address today's increased demands and still
†
at wire-
prepare for the unknown demands of tomor-
row. By re-assessing how they're using the
wiring closet, they can achieve both goals,
and be assured that their investments will be
protected for a long time to come.
Part of the Nortel Networks BayStack* 5000
series, BayStack 5510 Switches are 1 rack unit
high stackable 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
Layer 3 routing switches that are designed to
provide high-density Gigabit desktop
connectivity for mid-size and large enterprise
customers' wiring closets. BayStack 5510
BayStack 5510 Stack
Switches offer a scalable and resilient solution,
providing exceptional security features, and
support for enhanced convergence while
minimizing capital and operational expenses.
The BayStack 5000 family of switches repre-
sent the next-generation in innovation and
performance in a stackable solution.
BayStack 5510 Switches are available in two
models—the BayStack 5510-48T Switch
(Figure 1) and the BayStack 5510-24T Switch.
Power over Ethernet versions of the switches
are planned for release in the future.
