to authenticate local console and Telnet logins.
Power sharing options
The BayStack 460 Switch can be used in conjunction with the BayStack 10 PSU
or NES (Network Energy Source) DC Power System from Powerware
(
http://www.powerware.com/DC_Power/Network_Energy_Source.asp
and
http://www.nortelnetworks.com/prd/select/powerware.html
) to create a load sharing,
RPSU, or UPS solution.
Load sharing
The BayStack 460 Switch provides up to 200 watts to power the devices. With the addi-
tion of a BayStack 10 PSU, up to 235 watts of total power can be supplied to devices.
A 2-pin cable is required to connect from the BayStack 460 to the BayStack 10 PSU
(AL2018008). With the addition of an NES DC power system, up to 370 watts of total
power can be supplied to devices.
Redundant power supply unit support
Using a BayStack 10 PSU will provide up to 75 watts of power to be supplied to devices
in case the power supply of the BayStack 460 fails. A 2-pin cable is required to connect
from the BayStack 460 to the BayStack 10 PSU (AL2018008). Using an NES DC power
system, up to 200 watts of power can be supplied to devices in case the power supply of
the BayStack 460 fails.
Uninterruptible power supply support
Using a BayStack 10 PSU will provide up to 75 watts of power to be supplied to devices
in case there is an electrical outage. Up to 15 minutes of battery life is provided (this will
vary depending on the amount of modules installed on the BayStack 10). Using an NES
DC power system, up to 200 watts of power can be supplied to devices in case there is an
electrical outage. With an NES system, up to four hours of battery life is provided (this
will vary depending on the amount of modules on the NES unit).

Network management
Web-based management
Web-based network management makes managing the BayStack 460 Switch stack easy
with a Web browser. Summary, configuration, fault, statistics, application, administration,
and support pages can be provided for the entire stack. Traffic classification and prioritiza-
tion can be set via the Web-based QoS Wizard and advanced configuration tool. Real-
time sampling provides up-to-date LED statistical information for stacked units. The Web
interface also allows for static configuration of numerous parameters of the device. Plus,
the stack can be managed as a single entity with one IP address.
