Figure 8 BayStack 380 used in an OEL2 Aggregation
Layer 2 Aggregator
Figure 9 shows an example of the BayStack 380 used to aggregate the uplink
connection from several Business Policy Switch 2000 (BPS 2000) switches to a
Passport 8600.
Configuring the BayStack 380 as a layer 2 aggregator requires three major steps:
1 Attach the BPS 2000 switches to tagged VLAN ports on the BayStack 380
2 Configure the multi-link transfer (MLT) ports on the BayStack that connect to
the Passport 8600.
