BayStack 420 SwitchesUnique Stacking Architecture

BayStack 420 Switch Stackability • Simple Stacking Rules

– To stack 3 or more switches• For example, for a stack of 8

switches, order 7 short stack cables and 1 long stack cable

• Use this scheme for stack of any other size

– To stack 2 switches• Order 2 short stack cables only

– Stacking cables must be ordered separately

• Connections to BayStack 450 and Business Policy Switch– BayStack 420 can connect via

Gigabit links and Multi-link trunks– BayStack 420 can not connect

via cascade cables


BayStack 420 SwitchUplinks• Single high-speed 1 Gbps uplink port per switch

• Accepts GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) modules for connectivity

• Choice of GBIC modules with different physical Interfaces– 1-port 1000Base-SX GBIC– 1-port 1000Base-LX GBIC– 1-port 1000Base-XD GBIC (for distances up to 50 km)– 1-port 1000Base-ZX GBIC (for distances up to 70km)

• 802.3X Flow Control support to reduce packet loss


BayStack 420 SwitchSwitch Management• Management options

– Web-based Management– Java Device Manager support– RMON support for 4 groups– Optivity NMS 9.1.0.2 support

• Front Panel Management– Console port– Base-unit selection switch


BayStack 420 SwitchSecurity and Authentication• BaySecure MAC-address based Security

– Allows up to 448 authorized stations (MAC addresses) access to one or more switch ports in a stack

– Specify which switch ports each MAC address is allowed to access

• RADIUS-based Authentication– Allows you to set up network access control via the RADIUS

(Remote Authentication Dial-In User Services) security protocol– Uses the RADIUS protocol to authenticate local console and

Telnet logins

• Telnet Password Security

• Local Password Access Control


BayStack 420 SwitchEasy Monitoring with LEDs• Power indicator

• Base-unit indicator

• Cascade Up to show the switch is connected to the Upstream unit

• Cascade Down to show the switch is connected to the Downstream unit

• GBIC Link/Activity

• Link/Activity Indicator per port (10 or 100 Mbps)

• Half/Full Duplex mode Indicators

BayStack 420 Switch

• The CRN Test Center at PC Expo recommends the BayStack 420-24T 10/100 Mbps Switch from Nortel Networks. --David Hafke

• Nortel's menu-driven interface for setting the IP address and subnet mask with the switch's Web-based management interface was simple.

• The menu-based telnet/console interface and the graphical Web-based interface are a boon to solution providers. Thanks to these luxuries, solution providers and administrators do not need to learn an additional command language to perform simple tasks, such as setting the speed and duplex of individual ports or assigning to VLANs.

• Another pleasant facet of the BayStack is the relative silence in which it operates. When the unit is fully powered up, it merely emits a soft humming noise. Irrelevant? Perhaps, but it's a welcome relief to the loud rattling of most other network room equipment.
