IBM Ethernet Switch B48Y
2
To ease manageability, up to eight switches can be stacked together to create a single logical chassis of
384 ports. All switches in the same stack share a single configuration file, IP address, and interface
addressing scheme. This solution can be a cost-effective alternative to a design using an end-of-row,
modular chassis. The IBM B48Y is complemented by a full Ethernet and IP product portfolio, allowing an
organization to standardize on a network infrastructure running on the proven IronWare operating system.
