Avaya P333R-LB Overview

Introduction

The Avaya P330 family of stackable Ethernet workgroup switches includes a range of modules with 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, a Layer 3 capability, and ATM and WAN expansion modules. The Avaya switch has 24x10/100 Mbps ports and an Expansion Module slot. The optional expansion modules provide additional Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

An Avaya P330 stack can contain up to 10 switches and up to 3 backup power supply units. The stacked switches are connected using the Avaya X330STK stacking Modules which plug into a slot in the back of the Avaya P330. They are connected using the X330SC or X330LC cable (if the stack is split between two racks). The Avaya X330RC cable connects the top and bottom switches in the stack and provides redundancy and hot-swappability in the same way that modules can be swapped in a modular switching chassis.

The Avaya P330 is fully compliant with IEEE standards for VLAN Tagging, Gigabit Ethernet, Spanning Tree and Flow Control. This full standards-compliance, combined with auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps and half/full duplex facilitates the expansion of your network to match your company's growing needs.

Avaya P330 Family Features

•You can connect up to 10 Avaya P330 switches in a stack. Moreover, this stack can be either in one rack or split over several racks using the X330LC Long Cable, according to your requirements.

•Avaya X330STK - this stacking Module is used to connect Avaya P330 switches in a stack, via the Octaplane.

•Avaya P330 BUPS - this back-up power supply module supports up to four Avaya P330 switches.

•One RJ-45/RS232 front panel console connector for both terminal and modem sessions.

•Two fan units in every switch, with operation sensors.

•One virtual IP address for managing the whole stack, the P330 stack is managed as a single entity.

•Hot-swapping of one switch at a time - by activation of the redundant cable:

—Does not disrupt the operation of other Avaya P330 switches.

—Does not change stack configuration.

—Does not require network downtime.

P333R-LB specifications

The Avaya P333R-LB is a robust and versatile switch that is part of Avaya's portfolio aimed at enterprise networking solutions. This switch is designed to enhance the performance and scalability of network infrastructure while ensuring high availability and reliability.

One of the main features of the P333R-LB is its Layer 3 switching capability, which allows for efficient routing within an organization's network. This capability is particularly beneficial for organizations with multiple VLANs, as it simplifies the routing process and ensures that data packets are transmitted in the most efficient manner possible.

The P333R-LB is equipped with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize traffic based on the type of application being used. This ensures that critical applications, such as VoIP and video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance. Additionally, it supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, making it adaptable to a variety of networking environments.

Another important feature of the Avaya P333R-LB is its stackable design. This allows multiple switches to be interconnected, creating a single logical unit. This stacking capability not only simplifies management but also increases overall network capacity and redundancy. In case of a hardware failure, the stack can continue operating without interruption, maintaining network integrity and service continuity.

The switch also integrates advanced security features, including support for MAC filtering, access control lists, and port security. These features help to safeguard network resources from unauthorized access and potential threats. Moreover, the P333R-LB supports 802.1X port-based authentication, which adds an additional layer of security during user access to the network.

The Avaya P333R-LB comes with multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for high-speed connectivity to devices such as servers, workstations, and IP phones. This ensures that all devices on the network can communicate effectively, supporting the demands of modern enterprise environments.

For management and monitoring, the P333R-LB offers a user-friendly web interface along with SNMP support, enabling network administrators to easily configure settings and monitor network performance. This simplicity in management is crucial for IT teams that need to ensure optimal network performance while minimizing downtime.

In summary, the Avaya P333R-LB is a feature-rich, scalable, and reliable switch that meets the needs of demanding enterprise networks. With its advanced technologies, QoS support, stackable design, robust security features, and high-speed connectivity options, the P333R-LB is positioned to support a wide range of applications and enhance overall network performance.
