Common look and feel
All BayStack switches, including the
BayStack 460 Switch, have a common
"look and feel" which reduces training
costs. This allows the switches to be
managed in a similar fashion via a broad set
of management tools. These tools include
Web, Command Line Interface (CLI),
™
Java -based Device Manager (JDM),
Optivity* Network Management System
(NMS), Optivity Switch Manager (OSM),
and Optivity Policy Services (OPS).
End-to-end IP telephony
The BayStack 460 Switch provides enter-
prises with another option for end-to-end
deployment of IP telephony. Succession
1000, Business Communications Manager,
Meridian, and BayStack all provide the
choices that allow enterprises—from small
and medium businesses to large campus
infrastructures—to deploy the solution that
is right for them and offers the flexibility to
implement infrastructure changes at their

small- to mid-sized enterprise solution with
the BayStack 460 Switch. Figure 6 shows
an example of a large enterprise solution.

MAC addresses

BayStack 460 Switches support up to
16,000 MAC addresses per switch or stack
for deployment of large-scale enterprise
networks with many attached devices and
workgroups, allowing for scalability and
cost-effectiveness.

VLAN support

Up to 256 port-based VLANs can be config-
ured per individual switch or per stack to
extend the broadcast domain and segment

network traffic. The 256 VLANs can be
spread among port-based and MAC source
address-based VLANs (up to a maximum of
Power
48 MAC source address-based VLANs). The
256 VLANs can be on a standalone switch or
across a stack. Protocol-based VLANs allow
switch ports to be assigned to a broadcast

domain based on the protocol information

within the packet. These VLANs can localize
broadcast traffic and assure that the specified
protocol type packets are sent only to the
protocol-based VLAN ports.
Shared VLAN (SVL) and individual VLAN
(IVL) learning is supported. With SVL
support, all VLANs in the switch share the
same forwarding database. IVL allows indi-
vidual VLANs to have separate forwarding
databases within the switch, and it allows the
switch to handle duplicate MAC addresses if
the addresses are in different VLANs.
