2The SNMPv3 feature provides userauthentication and data encryption forhigher security. It also offers secure config-uration and monitoring.Class of ServiceBoSS v3.0 allows the BayStack 380 toprioritize traffic based upon the Class ofService/Diffserv Code Point (CoS/DSCP)of IP packets. The switch prioritizes LANtraffic based on Layer 2 802.1p value. Italso provides the capability to map theDSCP values in the IPv4 frame to any offour priority queues. If the frame is not anIPv4 frame, DSCP mapping is not applica-ble and the 802.1p mapping or port-basedpriority is used. The BayStack 380 allowsthe user to map all 64 possible DSCPvalues to any of the four priority queues.The IPv4 frames will be forwarded accordingto the CoS queue priorities. Frames can beprioritized in strict round-robin orweighted round-robin fashion. Class ofService implementation enables prioritiza-tion of multimedia or latency sensitivetraffic, making possible integration of voice,video, and data within the same network.RedundancyWith connectivity to the BayStack 10Power Supply Unit (PSU) paired with a–48V DC-to-DC converter module, theBayStack 380 Switches deliver redundantpower supply support crucial in mission-critical environments. UninterruptiblePower Supply (UPS) capability forBayStack 380 Switches is supportedwith the BayStack 10 PSU.SecurityThe BayStack 380 Switches supportBaySecure*, which allows authenticationof all access, not only to the switches formanagement and configurations but alsoaccess to the infrastructure through theseswitches. This software feature limits accessto only network authorized and trustedpersonnel, including full tracking ofnetwork connections. With BaySecure,network access is granted or denied viaproper MAC-address identification.In addition, with the Distributed AccessList Security feature, network access isgranted or denied on a per-port basis.The BayStack 380 Switches also provideRemote Authentication Dial-In UserService (RADIUS) for switch securitymanagement.Figure 2: High-density gigabit connectivity and server farm aggregationfor mid-size and large businesses10/100/1000 MbpsconnectionsBayStack 380-24TPower usersdesktopconnectivityServer farmaggregationMulti-LinkGigabitTrunksMulti-Link Trunkingfor resiliencyMulti-Link Trunking (MLT) enablesgrouping of links between the switch andanother switch or server to provide greaterbandwidth of up to 8 Gbps full duplexwith active redundant links for one trunk.This feature also provides load-balancingand automatic fail-over protection. Up tosix trunks are supported.Passport 8600’s Split Multi-Link Trunking(SMLT) eliminates single points of failurein the network and allows the BayStack380 to have multiple active connections tothe network core. The BayStack 380’sability to have multiple connections toa Passport 8600 network core allowscustomers to double their network band-width with no extra investment. ThePassport 8600 provides a self-healingnetwork which delivers the reliability andavailability required by today’s mission-critical applications.BoSS (BayStack operatingsystem Switching Software)BoSS v3.0 for Gigabit standalone switchesis a single software image exclusively forthe BayStack 380-24F and the BayStack380-24T. With BoSS v3.0 for Gigabitstandalone switches, software upgrades aresimplified as the users need to downloadonly one set of software. This commonimage provides the same software to alluser interfaces such as menu, Telnet, CLI,WEB, and JDM.BoSS v3.0 adds many new features includ-ing IGMP snooping, increased number ofVLANs, Class of Service/Diffserv CodePoint, CLI, ASCII configuration down-load, ASCII configuration generator, SingleFiber Fault Detection, and a single softwareimage. In addition, BoSS v3.0 adds 10/100management port and copper GBIC supportfor the BayStack 380-24F switch.
