Avaya C360 converged stackable switches
Stacking
●Up to 10 switches can be stacked together.
●Features such as Spanning Tree, redundancy, VLANs, and SMON are common to the stack.
●The Octaplane stacking system provides 8 Gbps stacking bandwidth to all switches in the stack.
●C360 stacks continue to function even if one switch or link fails.
●Switches in the stack can be added, removed, and replaced without disrupting operation.
●An advanced election algorithm ensures optimal stack master selection.
Layer 2 features
●
●
●
●Traffic prioritization (802.1p) allows
●There are four egress queues on all switch ports. The queues can be configured with the WRR (Weighted Round Robin) or strict priority scheduling algorithm.
●The use of the IEEE 802.1Q tagging for VLANs and
●Multiple VLANs per port allow access to shared resources by stations that belong to different VLANs.
●The use of the IEEE 802.1w standard for Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides rapid convergence of the spanning tree in case of link failure.
●The use of the IEEE 802.1x standard for
●Up to 20
●
●Link Aggregation Group (LAG) support of up to 7 trunks, with each trunk having up to 8 10/ 100 links or 2 GB links, provides resiliency, load balancing, and bandwidth expansion.
●LAG redundancy is supported through resiliency between two LAG groups.
●Port mirroring of any switch port is supported.
