This chapter introduces the BayStack 303 and 304 Ethernet Switches and covers the following topics:

Summary of key features

Physical description

Features

The BayStack 303 and 304 Ethernet Switches are members of the Bay Networks BayStack family of high-performance Ethernet solutions. Both BayStack 303 and 304 switches have built-in management software and power-up diagnostics that allow the switch to begin Ethernet frame switching functions immediately. These BayStack switches provide switch connectivity between 802.3 Ethernet device running any network protocols.

The BayStack 303 and 304 switches have 10 Mb/s ports, autonegotiating 10/100 Mb/s ports, and a 100 Mb/s media adapter (MDA) slot for either a 10/100BASE-TX or a 100BASE-FX fiber port connection.

The 10BASE-T port density of the BayStack 303 switch is ideal for low-cost performance-enhancing segmentation within the wiring closet, and the higher port density of the BayStack 304 switch allows the extension of dedicated switching to power desktop users. The 100 Mb/s ports provide a high-throughput connection to a backbone or server and can be configured to operate in either half- or full-duplex data transfer mode. The 100BASE-T ports can also be used to provide a link between traditional 10BASE-T networks and the faster 100BASE-T networks.
