Common look and feel

All BayStack switches, including the BayStack 460 Switch, have a common “look and feel” which reduces training costs. This allows the switches to be managed in a similar fashion via a broad set of management tools. These tools include Web, Command Line Interface (CLI), Java™-based Device Manager (JDM), Optivity* Network Management System (NMS), Optivity Switch Manager (OSM), and Optivity Policy Services (OPS).

MAC addresses

BayStack 460 Switches support up to 16,000 MAC addresses per switch or stack for deployment of large-scale enterprise networks with many attached devices and workgroups, allowing for scalability and cost-effectiveness.

Up to 256 port-based VLANs can be configured per individual switch or per stack to extend the broadcast domain and segment network traffic. The 256 VLANs can be spread among port-based and MAC source address-based VLANs (up to a maximum of 48 MAC source address-based VLANs). The 256 VLANs can be on a standalone switch or across a stack. Protocol-based VLANs allow switch ports to be assigned to a broadcast domain based on the protocol information within the packet. These VLANs can localize broadcast traffic and assure that the specified protocol type packets are sent only to the protocol-based VLAN ports.

Shared VLAN (SVL) and individual VLAN (IVL) learning is supported. With SVL support, all VLANs in the switch share the same forwarding database. IVL allows individual VLANs to have separate forwarding databases within the switch, and it allows the switch to handle duplicate MAC addresses if the addresses are in different VLANs.

End-to-end IP telephony

The BayStack 460 Switch provides enterprises with another option for end-to-end deployment of IP telephony. Succession 1000, Business Communications Manager, Meridian, and BayStack all provide the
