Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch

• You can downline upgrade the entire stack from any switch in the stack.

• You can access and manage the stack using a TELNET connection or any

generic SNMP management tool through any switch port that is part of the

stack configuration.

• When stacking three or more switches, use the longer (1-meter) cascade

max-return cable (PN 303979-A) to complete the link from the last unit in the

stack to the base unit.

Redundant Cascade Stacking Feature

BayStack 410-24T Switches allow you to connect up to 8 units into a redundant

cascade stack. If any single unit fails or if a cable is accidently disconnected, other

units in the stack remain operational, without interruption.

Figure 1-14

shows an example of how a stack configuration reacts to a failed or

powered-down unit in the stack configuration:

As shown in Figure 1-14, unit 3 is not operational.

This can be the result of a failed unit, or simply because the unit was powered

down.

Unit 2 and unit 4, directly upstream and downstream from unit 3, sense the

loss of link signals from unit 3.

• Unit 2 and unit 4 automatically loop their internal stack signals (A and B).

• The Cas Up LED for unit 2 and the Cas Dwn LED for unit 4 turn on

(yellow) to indicate that the stack signals are looped.

The remaining stack units remain connected.

Although the example shown in Figure 1-14

shows a failed unit causing the stack

to loop signals at the points of failure (A and B), the system reacts the same way if

a cable is removed.
