For a description of each numbered component, see Table 1-2.
PAGE 41
Getting Started Cooling Fans Variable-speed cooling fans in the BayStack 350 switch provide cooling for the internal components. When you install the switch, be sure to allow enough space on both sides of the switch for adequate air flow. Features BayStack 350 switches provide wire-speed, 100BASE-TX/100BASE-FX (Fast Ethernet) switching that allows high-performance, low-cost connections to full-duplex and half-duplex 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s Ethernet local area networks (LANs).

PAGE 44
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch MultiLink Trunking The MultiLink Trunking feature allows a user to group multiple ports (up to four) together when forming a link to another switch or server, thus increasing aggregate throughput of the interconnection between two devices, up to 800 Mb/s in full-duplex mode. BayStack 350 switches can be configured with up to eight MultiLink Trunks.
PAGE 45
Getting Started Flash Memory Storage The BayStack 350 switch uses flash memory to store the switch software image. Flash memory allows you to update the software image with a newer version without changing the switch hardware. An in-band connection between the switch and the TFTP load host is required to download the software image (see “Software Download” on page 3-58). For information about connecting a console terminal for this procedure, see “Console/Service Port Cabling” on page 3-2.
PAGE 46
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch Configuration and Switch Management The BayStack 350 switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to operate in any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX standard network. You can manage the switch using the Bay Networks Optivity® network management software or any generic SNMP-based network management software; however, you must assign an IP address to the switch.
PAGE 47
Getting Started Power Workgroups Figure 1-4 shows BayStack 350 switches connecting dedicated power workgroups and standard departmental users. In this example, all users have access to 10 Mb/s bandwidth or 100 Mb/s bandwidth on any port. BayStack 350T switch To network center BayStack 350T switch Key 10 Mb/s BayStack 350T switch 100 Mb/s 620EA Figure 1-4.
PAGE 48
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch Power Workgroups and Shared Media Hub Figure 1-5 shows power workgroups connected to servers through BayStack 350 switches in a small network. Network managers who do not want to provide each end station with the full 100 Mb/s bandwidth can designate a certain number of users that share the full bandwidth provided by one of the switch ports.
PAGE 49
Getting Started VLAN Workgroups You can create and configure VLANs by segmenting BayStack 350 switches into logical workgroups that are independent of each other. The workgroups can be defined according to project or department. Workgroup members on VLANs share computer resources but cannot communicate with other workgroups; therefore access to specific servers is restricted to all but the assigned workgroup.
PAGE 50
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch In this example configuration (Figure 1-7), spanning tree participation must be set to Disabled because the spanning tree protocol (STP) is not supported across multiple VLANs (see “Spanning Tree Port Configuration” on page 3-49).
PAGE 51
Getting Started There are limitations when configuring multiple VLANs on a port and when configuring VLANs that cross multiple switches. For example, to have multiple VLANs that span multiple switches, no port should be configured to exist in more than one VLAN in any of the switches. This method partitions the switches into different, non-overlapping VLANs as shown previously in Figure 1-7. It is also possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in Figure 1-8.
PAGE 52
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch Fig 1-9 shows an example of how to connect switch ports, that are configured for multiple VLANs, to other switches. Note: When connecting switches that have ports configured for multiple VLANs, the multiple VLANs do not get projected across the connection. The connection is treated as a single VLAN at the other end.

PAGE 58
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch MultiLink Trunks BayStack 350 switches support two types of trunking configurations: • Inter-switch trunk configuration • Server trunk configuration You can choose the configuration type from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen (see “MultiLink Trunk Configuration” on page 3-26). Inter-switch trunk configurations are designated as (trunks) I1 to I4 in the Inter-Switch Trunk Configuration screen.
PAGE 59
Getting Started Individual trunks can be configured between multiple switches as shown in Figure 1-14. Although Figure 1-14 shows only two inter-switch trunks (I1 and I2) connecting switch SW1 to switches SW2 and SW3, any BayStack 350 switch can be configured with up to four inter-switch trunks. MultiLink trunks can be configured with up to four switch ports to provide up to 800 Mb/s aggregate bandwidth through each trunk, in full-duplex mode.
PAGE 60
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch Server Trunk Configuration Use the Server Trunk Configuration screen to connect switches to servers that support multiport, single-MAC, network interface controllers (NICs). Note: Do not use the server trunk configuration screen to create switch-to-switch trunk links. Use the inter-switch trunk configuration screen to create switch-to-switch trunk links (see “Inter-Switch Trunk Configuration” on page 1-22).
PAGE 61
Getting Started Figure 1-15 shows a typical server trunk topology utilizing the server trunk configuration. FS1 utilizes dual MAC addresses, using one MAC address for each NIC. For this reason, FS1 does not require a trunk assignment. FS2 is a single MAC server (with a four-port NIC) and is set up as a server trunk configuration (S1). In this configuration example, server trunk S1 is assigned trunk members that correspond to the information provided in Appendix B, “Server/Trunk Connections.
PAGE 62
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch Clients accessing data from the servers (FS1 and FS2) are provided with maximized bandwidth through server trunk S1 and inter-switch trunks I1, I2, I3, and I4. Trunk members (the ports making up each trunk) do not have to be consecutive switch ports; they can be selected randomly, as shown by I4. With spanning tree enabled, one of the trunks (I1 or I2) acts as a redundant (backup) trunk to switch SW2.
PAGE 63
Getting Started Trunk Configuration Screen Examples This section shows examples of the Trunk Configuration screens for the client/ server configuration example shown in Figure 1-16. The screens show how you could set up the trunk configuration screens for switches SW1 to SW4. For more information about configuring trunks, see “Before Configuring Trunks” on page 1-38.
PAGE 64
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch The Server Trunk Configuration screen opens (Figure 1-18). Note: The screen items shown in boldface type represent example configuration settings you could enter to obtain the topology configuration shown in Figure 1-16.
PAGE 65
Getting Started Setting up the Inter-switch Trunk Configuration For SW1: To set up the inter-switch trunk configuration, you choose Inter-Switch Trunk Configuration from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen (Figure 1-19).

Getting Started MultiLink Trunking Configuration Rules The MultiLink Trunking feature is deterministic; that is, it operates according to specific configuration rules. When creating trunks, consider the following rules that determine how the MultiLink trunk reacts in any network topology: 1. Any port that participates in MultiLink Trunking must be an active port (set to Enabled via the Port Configuration screen or through network management). 2.
PAGE 76
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch Spanning Tree Considerations The spanning tree Path Cost parameter is recalculated based on the aggregate bandwidth of the trunk. For example, Figure 1-26 shows a four port inter-switch trunk (I1) with two port members operating at 100 Mb/s and the other two port members operating at 10 Mb/s. Trunk I1 provides an aggregate bandwidth of 220 Mb/s. The Path Cost for I1 is 4 (Path Cost = 1000/LAN speed, in Mb/s).
PAGE 77
Getting Started The switch can also detect trunk member ports that are physically misconfigured. For example, in Figure 1-27, trunk member ports 2, 3, and 4 of switch SW1 are configured correctly to trunk member ports 8, 9, and 10 of switch SW2. The Spanning Tree Port Configuration screen for each switch shows the port State field for each port in the Forwarding state.
PAGE 78
Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch If switch SW2’s trunk member port 10 is physically disconnected and then reconnected to port 12, the Spanning Tree Port Configuration screen for switch SW1 changes to show port 4 in the Blocking state (Figure 1-28).
PAGE 79
Getting Started Additional Tips About the MultiLink Trunking Feature When you create a MultiLink Trunk, the individual trunk members (the specific ports comprising the trunk) are logically connected and react as a single entity. For example, if you change spanning tree parameters for any trunk member, the spanning tree parameters for all trunk members are changed. All configured trunks are indicated in the Spanning Tree Configuration screen.

The screen data displayed at the bottom of the screen changes to show the new currently active port mirroring configuration.
PAGE 85
Getting Started Port Mirroring Configuration Rules The following configuration rules must be applied to any port mirroring configuration: 1. A monitor port cannot be configured as a trunk member. 2. When a port is configured and enabled as a monitor port, the port is automatically disabled from participating in the spanning tree. When the port is reconfigured as a standard switch port (no longer a monitor port), the port becomes enabled for spanning tree participation. 3.
