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. You can set the switch’s IP address by using the console/
service port or BootP, which resides on the switch.
For more information about using the console/service port to configure the switch,
see Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface.”
Network Configuration
You can use BayStack 350 switches to connect workstations, personal computers
(PCs), and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch,
through a shared media hub that is connected to the switch, or by creating a virtual
LAN (VLAN) through the switch.
This section provides five network configuration examples using BayStack 350
switches:
• Power workgroups
• Power workgroups and a shared media hub
• VLAN workgroups
• MultiLink trunks
• Port mirroring
Note:
All of the BayStack 350 switch models can be used interchangeably in
the following network configuration examples.
