Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch

You must ensure that the Interoperability Software Version Numbers (ISVNs) are identical. That is, the ISVN for the BayStack 450 and 410-24T must be the same as the ISVN for the Business Policy Switch.

Note: If the ISVNs are different, only the units that have the same ISVN as the base unit will form a stack.

You can verify your switch software version and ISVN in the sysDescr field of the System Characteristics screen (see “System Characteristics” on page 3-15).

Also, for correct operation in a mixed stack configuration, the Business Policy Switch must be configured as the base unit.

Note: If you do not designate the Business Policy Switch as the base unit, the mixed stack will not operate.

Note: BayStack 450 Switches that are configured with (optional)

BayStack 450-2M3/2S3 MDAs will not operate in a mixed stack configuration that includes one or more Business Policy Switches.

You can connect up to eight switches to provide uninterrupted connectivity for up to 224 ports (see “Fail-Safe Stack Application” on page 1-26). The entire stack is manageable as a single unit. Installation instructions are provided with the BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module (see your Nortel Networks sales representative for ordering information).

Note: The BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module will not operate with BayStack 450 switches that are configured with BayStack 450 software versions earlier than version V1.1.0. You must upgrade the switches to BayStack 450 software version V1.1.0 (or later) before you install the BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Modules.

If you need to upgrade your BayStack 450 switches, refer to the upgrade instructions provided in the Installing the BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module guide.
