Configuration and Switch Management
The BayStack 350 switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to operate in
any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX standard network. You can manage the switch
using the Nortel Networks Optivity
®
network management software, Nortel
Networks Device Manager Software, or any generic SNMP-based network
management software; however, you must assign an IP address to the switch. You
can set the switch’s IP address by using the Console/Comm Port or BootP, which
resides on the switch.
For more information about using the Console/Comm Port to configure the
switch, see Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface.”
Network Configuration
You can use BayStack 350 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.
This section provides three network configuration examples using BayStack 350
switches:
• Desktop switch application
• Segment switch application
• High-density switched workgroup application
Note:
All models of the BayStack 350 switch can be used interchangeably in
