Nortel Networks 24T manual Ieee 802.1p, Igmp Snooping Feature, Configuration and Switch Management

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

For instructions on using the console interface (CI) to set up network access control, see “MAC Address-Based Security” on page 3-22.

The MAC address-based security feature is based on Nortel Networks BaySecure™ LAN Access for Ethernet, a real-time security system that safeguards Ethernet networks from unauthorized surveillance and intrusion.

To learn more about the Nortel Networks BaySecure LAN Access for Ethernet, refer to the Bay Networks Guide to Implementing BaySecure LAN Access for Ethernet (Part number 345-1106A).

IEEE 802.1p

The BayStack 410-24T switch can prioritize the order in which packets are forwarded, on a per-port basis.

For more information about the IEEE 802.1p prioritizing feature, see “IEEE 802.1p Prioritizing” on page 1-57.

IGMP Snooping Feature

For conserving bandwidth and controlling IP Multicast, the IGMP snooping feature can provide the same benefit as IP Multicast routers, but in the local area. For more information about the IGMP snooping feature, see “IGMP Snooping” on page 1-52.

Configuration and Switch Management

The BayStack 410-24T switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to operate in any 10BASE-T network. Optional MDAs are available for connecting to 100BASE-T networks. You can manage the switch using the Nortel Networks Optivity® network management software, Nortel Networks Device Manager Software, or any generic SNMP-based network management software; however, you must assign an IP address to the switch or stack, depending on the mode of operation. You can set both addresses by using the Console/Comm Port or BootP, which resides on the switch. For more information about using the Console/ Comm Port to configure the switch, see Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface.”
