For instructions on using the console interface (CI) to set up network access
control, see “MAC Address-Based Security” on page 3-22.
The MAC address-based security feature is based on Nortel Networks
BaySecure
™
LAN Access for Ethernet, a real-time security system that safeguards
Ethernet networks from unauthorized surveillance and intrusion.
To learn more about the Nortel Networks BaySecure LAN Access for Ethernet,
refer to the Bay Networks Guide to Implementing BaySecure LAN Access for
Ethernet (Part number 345-1106A).
IEEE 802.1p
The BayStack 410-24T switch can prioritize the order in which packets are
forwarded, on a per-port basis.
For more information about the IEEE 802.1p prioritizing feature, see
“IEEE
802.1p Prioritizing
” on

IGMP Snooping Feature
For conserving bandwidth and controlling IP Multicast, the IGMP snooping
feature can provide the same benefit as IP Multicast routers, but in the local area.

Configuration and Switch Management
The BayStack 410-24T switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to
operate in any 10BASE-T network. Optional MDAs are available for connecting
to 100BASE-T networks. 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 or stack, depending on the mode of
operation. You can set both addresses 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.”
