Software Features
The Avaya P550R/P580/P880/P882 Multiservice switches support
the following software features:
■ Virtual Bridging Functions
■ Flood Pruning Using VLANs
■ Hunt Groups
■ OpenTrunk Technology
■ Three Spanning Tree Modes
■ Buffer and Queue Management
Virtual Bridging Functions
All multiservice switches are designed to support:
■ Up to 28,000 MAC addresses in the switch address
forwarding table — allows the switch to store forwarding
information for hosts in very large networks.
■ Segmented address tables qualified by address and VLAN
membership — allows the same host to appear on different
VLANs on different ports.
■ Optional per-VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol — isolates loop
control to smaller domains, so spanning trees converge faster
after a topology change.
