Nortel Nortel Passport 8100, Reference Manual, Page: 23 / 252

• Convenient use of single cable, allowing data and
power to be transmitted over one cable without
using a power outlet.
• Plug-n-Play IP Telephony switching, provides
simplified Web-based configurations on data and
power properties.
• Seamless user migration, stackable with Business
Policy Switches and BayStack 470-48T Switches in
a future software release.
• End-to-End Voice over IP, with Succession,
Business Communications Manager, Meridian,
and BayStack being integral components of
making Voice over IP a reality for enterprise
customers.
Features and Benefits
• Power over Ethernet to IEEE P802.3af compliant
devices such as IP phones, wireless access points,
and Webcams.
• Supplies power to IP devices up to 15.4 watts per
port meeting IEEE P802.3af standards and more
than sufficiently is able to provide power to IP
devices per port.
• Auto discovery feature automatically recognizes
the connection of an IP device and immediately
sends power to it.
• Dynamic power management enables power
consumption to be configured per port and power
distribution is actively monitored based on power
current availability & port priority.
• Active circuit protection automatically disables
the port if there is a short while other ports
remain active.
• Includes resiliency and robust QoS features of
Business Policy Switch.
• Distributed MultiLink Trunking feature provides
port aggregation and fail-over connections across
different switches in a stack.
• QoS enabled for Layer 2-4 packet classification
and prioritisation to deliver connectivity and
network availability for mission-critical users or
delay-intolerant applications such as Voice
over IP.
• Fail-safe stacking and the ability to stack up to
eight switches with a 2.5 Gbps cascading
bandwidth.
• Extensive security features including EAP over
LAN (IEEE 802.1x), SNMPv3, BaySecure, Radius
authentication, and password protection.
• Common software platform provides a common
look and feel for configuration similar to other
BayStack switches to reduce deployment time.
• RPSU (Redundant Power Supply Unit) and UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) Support with
BayStack 10 Power Supply Unit.
