Green On The switch is connected to the upstream unit’s Cascade A In connector. Amber On The Cascade A Out connector (CAS Up) for this switch is looped internally (wrapped to the secondary ring).
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Table 1-1. Label BayStack 410-24T Switch LED Descriptions (continued) Type Color State Meaning This automatic process is a temporary safeguard only. If the stack configuration loses power, the temporary base unit will not power up as the base unit when power is restored. For this reason, you should always assign the temporary base unit as the base unit (set the Unit Select switch to Base) until the failed unit is repaired or replaced.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch AC Power Receptacle The AC power receptacle accepts the AC power cord (supplied). For installation outside of North America, make sure that you have the proper power cord for your region. Any cord used must have a CEE-22 standard V female connector on one end and must meet the IEC 320-030 specifications. Table 1-2 lists specifications for international power cords. Table 1-2.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch RPSU Connector The RPSU connector allows you to connect a backup power supply unit to the switch. Nortel Networks provides an (optional) high-power redundant power supply unit (HRPSU) for this purpose. The HRPSU is a hot-swappable power supply unit that provides uninterrupted operation to up to four BayStack 410-24T switches in the event that any of the switch power supplies fail. Nortel Networks provides the HRPSU power rack (Order No.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Features BayStack 410-24T switches offer the following features: • High-speed forwarding rate: Up to 1 million packets per second (peak) • Store-and-forward switch: Full-performance forwarding at full line speed, utilizing a 1.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch • Console/Comm port: Allows users to configure and manage the switch locally or remotely. • Virtual local area networks (VLANs), supporting: -- IEEE 802.1Q port-based VLANs -- Protocol-based VLANs • TELNET: -- Support for up to four simultaneous TELNET sessions -- Optional password protection -- Login time-out -- Failed-login guard -- Inactivity time-out -- Allowed source addresses -- Event logging • IEEE 802.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch • Front panel light emitting diodes (LEDs) to monitor the following: -- Power status -- System status -- Stack status for the following: - Cascade Up and Cascade Down status - Base unit status -- RPSU status -- Per-port status for the following: - 10 Mb/s link - Tx/Rx activity - Management enable/disable • Upgradeable device firmware in nonvolatile flash memory using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) • Configuration file download/upload support: Allo
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) In a traditional shared-media network, traffic generated by a station is propagated to all other stations on the local segment. Therefore, for any given station on the shared Ethernet, the local segment is the collision domain because traffic on the segment has the potential to cause an Ethernet collision. The local segment is also the broadcast domain because any broadcast is sent to all stations on the local segment.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch RADIUS-Based Network Security The RADIUS-based security feature allows you to set up network access control, using the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Services) security protocol. The RADIUS-based security feature uses the RADIUS protocol to authenticate local console and TELNET logins.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Flash Memory Storage Storage of Switch Software Image The BayStack 410-24T switch uses flash memory to store the switch software image. The flash memory allows you to update the software image with a newer version without changing the switch hardware (see “Software Download” on page 3-85). An in-band connection between the switch and the TFTP load host is required to download the software image.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Autosensing and Autonegotiation BayStack 410-24T switches are autosensing and autonegotiating devices. The term autosense refers to a port’s ability to sense the speed of an attached device. The term autonegotiation refers to a standardized protocol (IEEE 802.3u) that exists between two IEEE 802.3u-capable devices.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Port Mirroring The port mirroring feature (sometimes referred to as conversation steering) allows a user to designate a single switch port as a traffic monitor for up to two specified ports or two media access control (MAC) addresses. You can specify Port-Based monitoring, where all traffic on specified ports is monitored, or Address-Based monitoring, where traffic between specified MAC addresses is monitored.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch SNMP MIB Support The BayStack 410-24T switch supports an SNMP agent with industry standard MIBs, as well as private MIB extensions, which ensures compatibility with existing network management tools. The BayStack 410-24T switch supports the MIB-II (RFC 1213), the Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), and the RMON MIB (RFC 1757), which provide access to detailed management statistics. For a complete listing of supported MIBs, see “Features” on page 1-9.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Network Configuration You can use BayStack 410-24T 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.

Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Segment Switch Application Figure 1-6 shows the BayStack 410-24T switch used as a segment switch to alleviate user contention for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. Before segmentation, 88 users had a total bandwidth of only 10 Mb/s available. After segmentation, 114 users have 40 Mb/s, four times the previous bandwidth, while adding 22 dedicated 10 Mb/s connections.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch High-Density Switched Workgroup Application Figure 1-7 shows a BayStack 410-24T switch using an (optional) 400-4TX MDA to connect to a BayStack 450 switch. The Baystack 450 switch provides a high-speed connection to a Nortel Networks Accelar ™ 1100 switch. BayStack 303 and 304 switches are also shown in this high-density workgroup example.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Fail-Safe Stack Application Figure 1-8 shows eight switches (a single BayStack 450 switch and seven BayStack 410-24T switches) that are stacked together as a single managed unit. If any unit in the stack fails, the remaining stack remains operational.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Stack Operation BayStack 410-24T switches provide fail-safe stacking when you install the optional BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module (see “Fail-Safe Stack Application” on page 1-22). You can connect up to eight switches to provide uninterrupted connectivity for up to 224 ports. The entire stack is manageable as a single unit.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Cascade A Out Connector Provides an attachment point for connecting this unit to another unit via the cascade cable. A return cable from another unit’s Cascade A Out connector to this unit’s Cascade A In connector completes the stack connection (see the example shown in Figure 1-10). Unit Select Switch The Unit Select switch (up = Base) determines the base unit for the stack configuration (see “Initial Installation” on page 1-25).
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Note: For stacking three or more units (maximum 8 units per stack), order the optional 1 meter (39.27 inch) cascade max-return cable (Bay Networks Order No. AL2018001). Base Unit The base unit is the unique stack unit that is configured by the Unit Select switch on the front panel of the 400-ST1 cascade module.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Stack MAC Address The Stack MAC address is automatically assigned during the stack initialization. The base unit’s MAC address, with a software offset, is used for the Stack MAC address.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Removing a Unit from the Stack If a unit is removed from the stack (therefore operating in standalone mode), the following switch configuration settings revert back to the settings configured before the unit became a member of the stack: • IP address • Console password • TELNET password • SNMP community strings Stack Configurations As shown in Figure 1-11, the cascade connectors and cables on the 400-ST1 front panel provide the ability to stack up to eigh
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Stack Up Configurations In Figure 1-11, data flows from the base unit (unit 1) to the next switch, which is assigned as unit 2, and continues until the last switch in the stack is assigned as unit 8. The physical order of the switches is from bottom to top (unit 1 to unit 8).

Stack Down Configuration Example Certain network management station (NMS) applications assume a stack-down configuration for the graphical user interface (GUI) that represents the stack (see Figure 1-12 on page 1-29).
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch • You can downline upgrade the entire stack from any switch in the stack. • You can access and manage the stack using a TELNET connection or any generic SNMP management tool through any switch port that is part of the stack configuration. • When stacking three or more switches, use the longer (1-meter) cascade max-return cable (PN 303979-A) to complete the link from the last unit in the stack to the base unit.

Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Workgroups BayStack 410-24T switches support up to 64 VLANs with 802.1Q tagging available per port. Ports are grouped into broadcast domains by assigning them to the same VLAN. Frames received in one VLAN can only be forwarded within that VLAN, and IP Multicast frames and unknown unicast frames are flooded only to ports in the same VLAN.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch IEEE 802.1Q Tagging BayStack 410-24T switches operate in accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q tagging rules. Important terms used with the 802.1Q tagging feature are: 309985-A Rev 00 • VLAN identifier (VID) -- the 12-bit portion of the VLAN tag in the frame header that identifies an explicit VLAN. • Port VLAN identifier (PVID) -- a classification mechanism that associates a port with a specific VLAN (see Figures 1-16 to 1-19).
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch • Filtering database identifier (FID) -- the specific filtering/forwarding database within the BayStack 410-24T switch that is assigned to each VLAN. The current version of software assigns all VLANs to the same FID. This is referred to as Shared VLAN Learning in the IEEE 802.1Q specification. The default configuration settings for BayStack 410-24T switches have all ports set as untagged members of VLAN 1 with all ports configured as PVID = 1.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch In Figure 1-16, untagged incoming packets are assigned directly to VLAN 2 (PVID = 2). Port 5 is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 2, and port 7 is configured as an untagged member of VLAN 2. Data SA Port 4 CRC DA Port 2 Port 3 Tagged member of VLAN 2 Port 5 Port 1 PVID = 2 Untagged packet 802.1Q Switch Before Port 6 Port 7 Port 8 Untagged member of VLAN 2 BS41016A Figure 1-16.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch In Figure 1-18, tagged incoming packets are assigned directly to VLAN 2 because of the tag assignment in the packet. Port 5 is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 2, and port 7 is configured as an untagged member of VLAN 2. CRC Data Tag SA Port 4 Tagged packet DA Before Port 2 Port 3 Tagged member of VLAN 2 Port 5 Port 1 PVID = 2 802.1Q Switch Port 6 Port 7 Port 8 Untagged member of VLAN 2 BS41018A Figure 1-18. 802.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch VLANs Spanning Multiple Switches You can use VLANs to segment a network within a switch. When connecting multiple switches, it is possible to connect users of one VLAN with users of that same VLAN in another switch. However, the configuration guidelines depend on whether both switches support 802.1Q tagging. With 802.1Q tagging enabled on a port for a VLAN, all frames leaving the port for that VLAN are marked as belonging to that specific VLAN.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Because there is only one link between the two switches, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) treats this configuration as any other switch-to-switch connection. For this configuration to work properly, both switches must support the 802.1Q tagging protocol. VLANs Spanning Multiple Untagged Switches Figure 1-21 shows VLANs spanning multiple untagged switches. In this configuration switch S2 does not support 802.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch To connect multiple VLANs across switches with redundant links, the STP must be disabled on all participating switch ports. Figure 1-22 shows possible consequences of enabling the STP when using VLANs between untagged (non-802.1Q tagged) switches. Station A Non-802.1Q tagged switch S1 VLAN 1 No Communications Forwarding VLAN 2 Blocking Non-802.1Q tagged switch S2 VLAN 1 VLAN 2 Station B BS41022A Figure 1-22.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Shared Servers BayStack 410-24T switches allow ports to exist in multiple VLANs for shared resources, such as servers, printers, and switch-to-switch connections. It is also possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in Figure 1-23. In this example, clients on different broadcast domains share resources. The broadcasts from ports configured in VLAN 3 can be seen by all VLAN port members of VLAN 3.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch S1 VLAN 3 VLAN 2 Port 2 Port 4 Port 10 PVID = 2 VLAN 1 Port 8 PVID = 3 V2 V2 V2 V3 Port 6 Port 11 PVID = 1 V1 V2 Key VLAN 1 (PVID = 1) VLAN 2 (PVID = 2) VLAN 3 (PVID = 3) BS41024A Figure 1-24.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch To configure the VLAN port membership for VLAN 1: 1. Select Switch Configuration from the BayStack 410-24T switch Main Menu (or press w). 2. From the Switch Configuration Menu, select VLAN Configuration (or press v). 3. From the VLAN Configuration Menu select VLAN Configuration (or press v).
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Ports 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 11 are now untagged members of VLAN 3 as shown in Figure 1-24 on page 1-41.

Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch The connection to switch S2 requires only one link because both switch S1 and switch S2 (BayStack 410-24T switches) support 802.1Q tagging (see “VLANs Spanning Multiple 802.1Q Tagged Switches” on page 1-37). Non-802.1Q tagging switch S4 BayStack 410-24T S2 Both ports are tagged members of VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 Untagged ports (STP disabled) BayStack 410-24T S1 V1 Non-802.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch VLAN Configuration Rules VLANs operate according to specific configuration rules. When creating VLANs, consider the following rules that determine how the configured VLAN reacts in any network topology: • All ports that are involved in port mirroring must have memberships in the same VLANs. If a port is configured for port mirroring, the port’s VLAN membership cannot be changed.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch IGMP Snooping BayStack 410-24T switches can sense IGMP host membership reports from attached stations and use this information to set up a dedicated path between the requesting station and a local IP Multicast router. After the pathway is established, the BayStack 410-24T switch blocks the IP Multicast stream from exiting any other port that does not connect to another host member, thus conserving bandwidth.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch As shown in Figure 1-30, a non-IP Multicast filtering switch causes IP Multicast traffic to be sent to all segments on the local subnet. IGMP Host Host Membership Query Host Membership Query Internet Designated router #1 Designated router #2 Non-multicast filtering switch Multicast stream Host Membership Report Non-multicast filtering switch Host Membership Report BS41026A Figure 1-30.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch One client, connected to S2, responds with a host membership report. Switch S2 intercepts the report from that port, and generates a proxy report to its upstream neighbor, S1. Also, two clients connected to S4 respond with host membership reports, causing S4 to intercept the reports and to generate a consolidated proxy report to its upstream neighbor, S1.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch After the switches learn which ports are requesting access to the IP Multicast stream, all other ports not responding to the queries are blocked from receiving the IP Multicast (see Figure 1-32). Internet Designated router Host Membership Query BayStack 410-24T Switch S1 BayStack 410-24T Switches S3 S2 S4 BayStack 410-24T Switch Key Multicast stream BS41028A Figure 1-32.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch IGMP Snooping Configuration Rules The IGMP snooping feature operates according to specific configuration rules. When configuring your switch for IGMP snooping, consider the following rules that determine how the configuration reacts in any network topology: • A port that is configured for port mirroring cannot be configured as a static router port.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch IEEE 802.1p Prioritizing You can use the VLAN Configuration screens to prioritize the order in which the switch forwards packets, on a per-port basis. For example, if messages from a specific segment are crucial to your operation, you can set the switch port connected to that segment to a higher priority level (by default, all switch ports are set to Low priority).
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Port 5 Traffic class User priority (6) 7 6 5 4 High 3 2 1 0 Low High priority packet Port transmit queue BS41030A Figure 1-34. Port Transmit Queue As shown in Figure 1-34, the switch provides two transmission queues, a High transmission queue and a Low transmission queue, for any given port. Frames are assigned to one of these queues on the basis of user_priority using a traffic class table.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch To configure the port priority level, follow these steps: 1. Determine the priority level you want to assign to the switch port. User priority levels are assigned default settings in all BayStack 410-24T switches. The range is from 0 to 7. The traffic class table can be modified, therefore, view the settings shown in the Traffic Class Configuration screen before setting the port priority in the VLAN Port Configuration screen. 2.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch 5. Select a priority level from the range shown in the Traffic Class Configuration screen (or modify the Traffic Class parameters to suit your needs). 6. Assign the priority level to ports using the VLAN Port Configuration screen: a. Press [Ctrl]-R to return to the VLAN Configuration Menu. b. From the VLAN Configuration Menu, select VLAN Port Configuration (or press c). The VLAN Port Configuration screen opens (Figure 1-36).
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch MultiLink Trunks MultiLink Trunks allow you to group up to four switch ports together to form a link to another switch or server, thus increasing aggregate throughput of the interconnection between the devices (up to 800 Mb/s in full-duplex mode with optional 100BASE-T/F MDAs installed). You can configure up to six MultiLink Trunks. The trunk members can reside on a single unit or on multiple units within the same stack configuration as a distributed trunk.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Each of the trunks shown in Figure 1-37 can be configured with up to four switch ports to provide maximum aggregate bandwidth through each trunk, in full-duplex mode. As shown in this example, when traffic between switch-to-switch connections approaches single port bandwidth limitations, creating a MultiLink Trunk can supply the additional bandwidth required to improve the performance. Figure 1-38 shows a typical switch-to-server trunk configuration.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Clients accessing data from the servers (FS1 and FS2) are provided with maximized bandwidth through trunks T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5. Trunk members (the ports making up each trunk) do not have to be consecutive switch ports; they can be selected randomly, as shown by T5. With spanning tree enabled, one of the trunks (T2 or T3) acts as a redundant (backup) trunk to switch S2.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Trunk Configuration Screen Examples This section shows examples of the MultiLink Trunk configuration screens for the client/server configuration example shown in Figure 1-39 on page 1-59. The screens show how you could set up the trunk configuration screens for switches S1 to S4. See “Spanning Tree Considerations for MultiLink Trunks” on page 1-72, and “MultiLink Trunk Configuration” on page 3-41 for more information.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch The MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen opens (Figure 1-41).
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch -- Ports 2 and 4 are assigned as trunk members of trunk 3. -- Ports 14 and 16 are assigned as trunk members of trunk 4. -- Ports 22 and 24 are assigned as trunk members of trunk 5. • STP Learning indicates the spanning tree participation setting for each of the trunks: -- Trunks 1 through 4 are enabled for Normal STP Learning. -- Trunk 5 is enabled for Fast STP Learning.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Trunk Configuration Screen for Switch S2 As shown in Figure 1-39 on page 1-59, switch S2 is set up with two trunk configurations (T2 and T3). Both trunks connect directly to switch S1. As in the previous screen examples, to set up a trunk configuration choose MultiLink Trunk Configuration from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen. Figure 1-42 shows the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen for switch S2.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch -- Ports 1 and 3 are assigned as trunk members of trunk 2. • STP Learning indicates the spanning tree participation setting for each of the trunks: Trunk 1 and 2 are enabled for Normal STP Learning. • Trunk Mode (read only) indicates the Trunk Mode for each of the trunks: The Trunk Mode field values for trunks 1 and 2 are set to Basic. Source MAC addresses are statically assigned to specific trunk members for flooding and forwarding.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Trunk Configuration Screen for Switch S3 As shown in Figure 1-39 on page 1-59, switch S3 is set up with one trunk configuration (T4). This trunk connects directly to switch S1. As in the previous screen examples, to set up an inter-switch trunk configuration choose MultiLink Trunk Configuration from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen. Figure 1-43 shows the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen for switch S3.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch • STP Learning indicates the spanning tree participation setting for each of the trunks: Trunk 1 is enabled for Normal STP Learning. • Trunk Mode (read only) indicates the Trunk Mode for each of the trunks: The Trunk Mode field value for trunk 1 is set to Basic. Source MAC addresses are statically assigned to specific trunk members for flooding and forwarding.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Trunk Configuration Screen for Switch S4 As shown in Figure 1-39, switch S4 is set up with one trunk configuration (T5). This trunk connects directly to switch S1. As in the previous screen examples, to set up a trunk configuration choose MultiLink Trunk Configuration from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen. Figure 1-44 shows the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen for switch S4.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Switch S4 is configured as follows: • Trunk (read only) indicates the trunk (1 to 6) that corresponds to the switch ports specified in the Trunk Members fields. • Trunk Members (Unit/Port) indicates the ports that can be configured, in each row, to create the corresponding trunk: Ports 5 and 11 are assigned as trunk members of trunk T1.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Before Configuring Trunks When you create and enable a trunk, the trunk members (switch ports) take on certain settings necessary for correct operation of the MultiLink Trunking feature. These settings, along with specific configuration rules, must be considered before configuring your MultiLink Trunk. Before configuring any MultiLink Trunk: 1. Read the configuration rules provided in the next section, “MultiLink Trunking Configuration Rules.” 2.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch 1-70 • All trunk members must have the same VLAN configuration before the Trunk Configuration screen’s Trunk Status field can be set to Enabled (see “VLAN Configuration” on page 3-24). • When an active port is configured in a trunk, the port becomes a trunk member as soon as the Trunk Status field is set to Enabled. After the Trunk Status field is set to Enabled, the spanning tree parameters for the port will change to reflect the new trunk settings.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch How the MultiLink Trunk Reacts to Losing Distributed Trunk Members If your MultiLink Trunk (Figure 1-45) spans separate units in a stack configuration and any of those units (or trunked MDAs) becomes inactive from a loss of power or unit failure, the unaffected trunk members remain operational.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Spanning Tree Considerations for MultiLink Trunks The spanning tree Path Cost parameter is recalculated based on the aggregate bandwidth of the trunk. For example, Figure 1-46 shows a four-port trunk (T1) with two port members operating at 100 Mb/s and two at 10 Mb/s. Trunk T1 provides an aggregate bandwidth of 220 Mb/s. The Path Cost for T1 is 4 (Path Cost = 1000/LAN speed, in Mb/s).

Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Additional Tips About the MultiLink Trunking Feature When you create a MultiLink Trunk, the individual trunk members (the specific ports that make up 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.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Port Mirroring (Conversation Steering) You can designate one of your switch ports to monitor traffic on any two specified switch ports (port-based) or to monitor traffic to or from any two specified addresses that the switch has learned (address-based).
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Port-Based Mirroring Configuration Figure 1-49 shows an example of a port-based mirroring configuration where port 23 is designated as the monitor port for ports 24 and 25 of switch S1. Although this example shows ports 24 and 25 monitored by the monitor port (port 23), any of the trunk members of T1 and T2 can also be monitored.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch In the configuration example shown in Figure 1-49, the designated monitor port (port 23) can be set to monitor traffic in any of the following modes: • Monitor all traffic received by port X. • Monitor all traffic transmitted by port X. • Monitor all traffic received and transmitted by port X. • Monitor all traffic received by port X or transmitted by port Y. • Monitor all traffic received by port X (destined to port Y) and then transmitted by port Y.
Introduction to the BayStack 410-24T Switch Port Mirroring Configuration Monitoring Mode: Monitor Unit/Port: [ [ -> Port X /23 ] Unit/Port X: Unit/Port Y: [ [ /25 ] /24 ] Address A: Address B: or Port Y -> ] [ 00-00-00-00-00-00 ] [ 00-00-00-00-00-00 ] Port mirroring configuration has taken effect.

However, if you are connected to a stack unit through a TELNET session, the Event Log screen displays the data for the base unit of that stack configuration.
Using the Console Interface The Event Log screen provides the following information: • Software download: Indicates the new software version. • Authentication failure: Indicates any attempted SNMP get or set access that specified an invalid community string. • TELNET session status: Indicates various TELNET events. (For details on configuring this feature, see “TELNET Configuration” on page 3-82.
Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch Figure 3-39 shows an example of the event log entry for this type of event. Entry Number: 3 sysUpTime: 02:29:44 Reset Count: 2 The last event exceeded the write threshold. Further write attempts by this event are blocked. The write threshold will be cleared when the switch is reset or when the Event Log is compressed. Figure 3-39.
Using the Console Interface Reset The Reset option (accessed from the main menu) allows you to reset a standalone switch, a specific unit in a stack configuration, or an entire stack without erasing any configured switch parameters. Resetting the switch takes approximately 5 seconds. During this time, the switch initiates a self-test that comprises various diagnostic routines and subtests. The LEDs display various patterns to indicate that the subtests are in progress.
