Chapter 1: Avaya C360 Overview
The C360 is a line of converged stackable switches that provide high availability, quality of
service (QoS), and IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) to enhance converged network
infrastructure operations. With a range of PoE and non-PoE configurations, the C360 series is a
powerful, yet cost-effective option for enterprise applications.
With C360 switches, you can deploy PoE and multilayer switching using one switch, while
maintaining the simplicity and the cost effectiveness of Avaya stackable switches.

C360 Features and Benefits
Stacking
● You may create logical stacks of up to ten switches that you manage and configure as a
single switch.
● C363T
● C363T-PWR
● C364T
● C364T NEBS
● C364T-PWR
● C363T-PWR
● C364T-PWR
● Stacking is based on the Octaplane™ stacking system that provides eight Gbps stacking
bandwidth to all switches in the stack.
● Each member of the stack is connected to the other members using a dedicated stacking
module and cables.
Issue 1 July 2006 19
Avaya C360 Overview
● When the switches are stacked, the switches elect one switch as the master, while the
other switches act as slaves. The master switch acts as the stack management agent
reporting to the management system.
● Management redundancy - if the master unit fails, the remaining switches elect a new
switch as the master, and the original stack configuration and IP address are maintained.
● You can add, remove and replace switches in the stack without disrupting operation.
● Auto-reconfiguration for replaced switch - the configuration of the units is distributed over
the stack. When you replace a unit, you do not need t o reconfigure st ack-level p arame ters
such as Spanning Tree, IP address and port redundancy.
Network Optimization
● Autosensing of port speed and autonegotiation of duplex mode on all switch ports for
optimizing bandwidth.
● IEEE 802.3x flow control on all Ethernet ports.
● Auto MDI/MDI-X (cross-over cable) detection allows use of both straight and crossover
cables without the need to configure ports individually.
● LAGs (Link Aggregate Group) provide enhanced fault tolerance and aggregated
bandwidth of up to 800 Mbps (on 10/100BASE-T ports) or 2 Gbps (on 1000BASE-X ports).
- Ideal for high-bandwidth connections to servers, routers and switches.
- Refer to LAG (Link Aggregate Group)
● IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping for limiting flooding of multicast
traffic.
Manageability
● SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) or TIME protocol for providing a consistent
timestamp to all switches from an external source. Refer to Network Time Acquiring
Protocols Parameter Configuration on page 97.
● In-band management access:
- C360 Device Manager with intuitive Web-based access. Refer to C360 Device
Manager on page 193 for further information.
- Up to five simultaneous Telnet connections for multiple CLI (Command Line
Interface)-based sessions over the network. Refer to Establishing a Telnet
Connection on page 65 for further information.
on page 134 for further information.
20 Installation and Configuration Guide Avaya C360 Multilayer Stackable Switches, version 4.5
C360 Features and Benefits
- Up to two simultaneous encrypted SSH (Secure Shell) connections for multiple
CLI-based sessions over the network. Refer to Establishing an SSH Connection
on
page 66 for further information.
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) "get" and "set" requests (support for
SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3). Refer to SNMP Support
on page 73 for further
information.
● Out-of-band management access through the switch console port to a directly attached
terminal or remote terminal via a serial connection or modem. Refer to Establishing a
Console Connection on page 62 and Establishing a Modem (PPP) Connection on page 71
for further information.
● Allowed managers to restrict access to a pre-defined list of IP addresses. Refer to Allowed
Managers on page 84 for further information.
● Software upgrades by TFTP. Refer to Firmware Download on page 211 for further
information.
● Configuration upload/download by TFTP and SCP. Refer to Uploading and Downloading
Device Configurations and Images on page 99 for further information.
● "Allowed protocols" allows you to selectively enable and disable the IP protocols. Refer to
Allowed Protocols
on page 86 for further information.
Redundancy
● IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for rapid convergence of the spanning
tree by immediately transitioning root and designated ports to the forwarding state.
- RSTP automatically detects switches that are configured as 802.1w Rapid Spanning
Tree or 802.1D Spanning Tree and operates accordingly. Refer to Spanning Tree
Protocol on page 127 for further information.
- Edge port for eliminating the forwarding delay by enabling a port to immediately transition
from the blocking state to the forwarding state.
● Port redundancy provides a backup for important links. If one link fails, the backup link
takes over , preventing disruption to network tra ffic. Refer to Port Redundancy
for further information.
● Inter-module redundancy is hardware-based and intended for important links that need to
be maintained even if there are changes in the stack. Refer to Intermodule Port
Redundancy on page 137 for further information.
● Port redundancy combined with 802.1w provides configuration flexibility in complex
network configurations.
● LAG redundancy adds the reliability of port redundancy to LAGs, thus providing inter-port
as well as intra-port redundancy.

Issue 1 July 2006 21
Avaya C360 Overview
● Stack redundancy - in the unlikely event that a C360 switch or Octaplane link should fail,
stack integrity is maintained if the redundant cable is connected to the stack. The broken
link is bypassed and data transmission continues uninterrupted.
● BUPS (Backup Power Supply) - you can connect an additional DC power supply to the
BUPS connectors to ensure no disruption if the internal PSU fails. Refer to Connecting a
BUPS on page 53 for further information.
VLAN Support
● Support for up to 3,071 VLANs (in the range of 1-3071) according to the IEEE 802.1Q
standard for assigning VLANs associated with appropriate network resources, traffic
patterns, and bandwidth. Refer to VLANs
● IEEE 802.1Q lets a VLAN span multiple switches. This provides management and control
of broadcast and multicast traffic and network security as well as all the other benefits of
VLANs over the entire network.
● PVID - VLAN-per-port for maximum flexibility and security.

are used by routers to notify the hosts on the data link that a better route is available for a
particular destination.
● DHCP/ BootP relay for forwarding UDP broadcasts, including IP address requests, from
DHCP/BootP clients. Refer to BOOTP/DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Relay Configuration on page 175 for further information.
Management
The C360 switch is designed for plug-and-play operation: you need to configure only basic IP
information for the switch and connect it to the other devices in your network. If you have
specific network needs, you can configure and monitor the switch - individually or as part of a
stack - through its various management interfaces.
Management Interface Options
You can configure and monitor individual switches and the entire stack by using these
interfaces:
● The built-in C360 Device Manager allows you to configure and manage a C360 stack
using a Web browser without purchasing additional software.
This application works with the Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator web
browsers and Sun Microsystems Java Plug-in.
● CLI - You can configure and monitor the switch or the stack from the CLI. You can access
the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch console port
or by using Telnet, PPP or SSH from a remote management station.
● SNMP - provides a means to monitor and control the switch or the stack. Y ou can manage
switch configuration settings, performance, security, and collect statistics by using SNMP
management applications such Avaya Integrated Management and HP OpenView.

● C360 Rear Panel
C360 Front Panels
The front panel contains LEDs, controls, and connectors. The status LEDs and control buttons
provide at-a-glance information.
The front panel LEDs consist of Port LEDs and Function LEDs. The Port LEDs display
information for each port according to the illuminated function LED. The function is selected by
pressing the left or right button until the desired parameter LED is illuminated.
For example, if the COL LED is illuminated, then all Port LEDs show the collision status of their
respective port. If you wish to select the LAG function, then press the left button until the LAG
Function LED is lit; if you then wish to select Rx then press the right button three times until the
Rx function LED lights.
The front panels shown below includes LEDs, buttons, SFP GBIC transceiver housings,
10/100BASE-T ports and the RJ-45 console connector. The LEDs are described in Table 3
