Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch

High-Density Switched Workgroup Application

Figure 1-8 shows a BayStack 410-24T switch using an (optional) 400-4TX MDA to connect to a BayStack 450 switch. The Baystack 450 switch provides a high-speed connection to a Nortel Networks Accelar1100 switch. BayStack 303 and 304 switches are also shown in this high-density workgroup example.

The Accelar 1100 switch is used as a backbone switch, connecting to the BayStack 450 switch configured with a gigabit (1000BASE-SX) MDA for maximum bandwidth. The BayStack 303 and 304 switches have 100 Mb/s connections to the BayStack 410-24T switch, a 100BASE-TX hub, and a

100 Mb/s server and 10 Mb/s connections to DTE (data terminal equipment).

See the Nortel Networks library Web page: support.baynetworks.com/library/ for online documentation about the Nortel Networks Accelar 1100 switch and the BayStack 303 and 304 switches.
