Getting Started893-00992-E 1-5Cooling FansVariable-speed cooling fans in the BayStack 350 switch provide cooling for theinternal components. When you install the switch, be sure to allow enough spaceon both sides of the switch for adequate air flow.FeaturesBayStack 350 switches provide wire-speed, 100BASE-TX/100BASE-FX(Fast Ethernet) switching that allows high-performance, low-cost connections tofull-duplex and half-duplex 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s Ethernet local area networks(LANs).Based on advanced application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology,BayStack 350 switches can be cost effectively deployed in 10 Mb/s LANs.BayStack 350 switches adjust (autonegotiate) their port speed and duplex mode tomatch the best service provided by connected stations, up to 100 Mb/s infull-duplex mode. As performance requirements increase and 100 Mb/s LANs aredeployed, each port uses autosensing to support any combination of 10 Mb/s and100 Mb/s Ethernet LANs.One of the many benefits provided by the BayStack 350 switch is that networkusers can migrate from 10 Mb/s switching to 100 Mb/s switching using a singleproduct.The BayStack 350 switch offers the following features:• High-speed forwarding rate: 1.6 million packets per second (peak)• Learning rate: 1.6 million addresses per second (peak)• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): Complies with IEEE 802.1D standard• SNMP agent support for the following Management Information Bases(MIBs):-- Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)-- Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)-- Proprietary MIBs-- RMON MIB (RFC 1757)-- MIB-II (RFC 1213)
