Stackability
• Simple Stacking Rules
– To stack 3 or more switches
•
•
For example, for a stack of 8
switches, order 7 short stack
cables and 1 long stack cable
Use this scheme for stack of any
other size
– To stack 2 switches
•
Order 2 short stack cables only
– Stacking cables must be ordered
separately
• Connections to BayStack 450
and Business Policy Switch

Product Reviews at PC Expo 2001
• The CRN Test Center at PC Expo recommends the BayStack 42024T 10/100 Mbps Switch from Nortel Networks. --David Hafke
• Nortel's menu-driven interface for setting the IP address and subnet mask with
the switch's Web-based management interface was simple.
• The menu-based telnet/console interface and the graphical Web-based interface
are a boon to solution providers. Thanks to these luxuries, solution providers and
administrators do not need to learn an additional command language to perform
simple tasks, such as setting the speed and duplex of individual ports or
assigning to VLANs.
• Another pleasant facet of the BayStack is the relative silence in which it
operates. When the unit is fully powered up, it merely emits a soft humming
noise. Irrelevant? Perhaps, but it's a welcome relief to the loud rattling of most
other network room equipment.
