Avaya C360 Ethernet switches
Issue 6 February 2007 381
● Switches in the stack can be added, removed, and replaced without disrupting operation.
● An advanced election algorithm ensures optimal stack master selection.
Layer 2 features
● Auto-sensing simplifies configuration of LAN connections by automatically selecting the
port speed for devices — either 10Mb or 100Mb.
● Auto-negotiation simplifies configuration of LAN connections by automatically selecting the
port transmission mode for devices — either half- or full-duplex.
● Auto-MDIX automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100-TX
ports.
● Traffic prioritization (802.1p) allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels
mapped to 4 queues.
● There are four egress queues on all switch ports. The queues can be configured with the
Weighted Round Robin (WRR) or strict priority scheduling algorithm.
● The use of the IEEE 802.1Q tagging for VLANs and per-port VLAN is supported.
● Multiple VLANs per port allow access to shared resources by stations that belong to
different VLANs.
● The use of the IEEE 802.1w standard for Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides
rapid convergence of the spanning tree in case of link failure.
● The use of the IEEE 802.1x standard for port-based network security ensures that only
authorized clients get network access.
● Up to 20 redundant-port pairs are supported to increase link resiliency.
● Intermodule redundancy is supported with one pair in a stack. The switching time is
approximately 1 second.
● Link Aggregation Group (LAG) support of up to 7 trunks. Each trunk has up to 8 10/100
links or 2 GB links, provides resiliency, load balancing, and bandwidth expansion.
● LAG redundancy is supported through resiliency between two LAG groups.
● Port mirroring of any switch port is supported.
● RMON/SMON port statistics provide real-time top-down analysis of network traffic.
● IP multicast filtering (snooping) filters multicast traffic to optimize network bandwidth.
● Classification of ports as regular or valuable is supported so if a link fails, notification is
generated for valuable ports only.
● The L2 CAM table contains 16K MAC addresses.
