Preface

Congratulations on your purchase of the BayStack 350 Switch, part of the

Bay Networks products.

There are two versions of the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches: the BayStack 350-24T swi tch and the BayStack 35 0-12T sw itch. This g uide d escribes the features, uses, and installation procedures for the two versions. (Unless otherwise specified, the terms “BayStack 350 switch” and “switch” refer to both switch versions.)

BayStack 350 switches include a dedicated Uplink Module slot for attaching optional media dependent adapters (MDAs) that support a range of media types, including gigabit Ethernet. Installation instructions are included with each MDA (see your Bay Networks sales representative for ordering information).

Comm Port

The Comm Port (also referred to as the Console/Comm Port) allows you to access the console interface (CI) screens and customize your network using the supplied menus and screens (see Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface”).

The Console/Comm Port is a DB-9, RS-232- D male serial port connector. Y ou can use this connector to connect a management station or console/terminal to the switch by using a straight-through DB-9 to DB-9 standard serial port cable (see “Connecting the Console/Comm Port” on page 2-10).

The Console/Comm Port is configured as a data communications

Note:

equipment (DCE) connector. Ensure that your RS-232 cable pinouts are configured for DCE connections (see “DB-9 (RS- 232-D) Console/Comm Port Connector” on page D-5).

The console port runs at 9600 baud and uses eight data bits, one stop bit, and no parity as the communications format, with flow control set to disabled.

Uplink/Expansion Slot

304376-B Rev 00

The Uplink/Expansion slot allows you to attach optional media dependent adapters (MDAs) that support a range of media types (see Appendix B, “Media Dependent Adapters” for more information about MDA types available from Bay Networks).

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Port Connectors

BayStack 350 switch es use 10BASE-T/10 0BASE-TX RJ-45 (8-pin modular) port connectors.

The RJ-45 port connectors on BayStack 450 switches manufactured

Note:

prior to December 1998 are numbered 1 to 12 and 13 to 24, in succe ssion from left to right. Later uni ts use por t conn ectors t hat are c onf igure d with one o r tw o dual, six-port groups, numbered 1 to 12 and 13 to 24. The top rows are odd numbered and the bottom rows are even numbered (see Figure 1-2

page 1-2

). Port-specific examples in this guide show the appropriate port

connections when required; other examples apply to both versions.

1-3

Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch

All BayStack 350 switche s are shipped with por t connectors c onfigur ed as MDI-X (media-dependent int erface-cr ossov er). These ports conne ct over st raight cables to the network in terface contro ller (NIC) card in a node or server, similar to a conventional Ethernet repe at er hub. If you a re c onne cti ng to another Ethernet hub or Ethernet switch, you need a crossover cable unless an MDI connection exists on the associated port of the attached device (see “MDI and MDI-X Devices” on page D-2).

The switches use autosensing port s that are de signed to operate at 10 Mb/s or at 100 Mb/s, depending on the connecting device. These ports support the IEEE

802.3u autonegotiation standard, which means that when a port is connected to

another device that also supports the IEEE 802.3u standard, the two devices negotiate the best speed and duplex mode of operation.

The switch ports also support half- and full-duplex mode operation (see “Connecting the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports” on page 2-9).

The switch uses 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 port connectors to connect to 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s Ethernet segments or nodes.

Use only Category 5 copper unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable

Note:

connections when connecting 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports.
