Cost-effective stackability
– Built-in stacking ports for simpler,
quicker stacking as cascade modules
are not required; sacrificing the GBIC
ports for stacking is not necessary.
Resiliency
– Fail-safe stacking design assures con-
tinuous uptime even if any switch in
the stack should fail.
– Distributed MultiLink Trunking
allows aggregating ports across
different switches in a stack and
provides load balancing and fail-over
protection for uninterrupted access
to the network center.
– Also, for improved network reliability,
BayStack 470-48T supports Split
MultiLink Trunking in conjunction
with two Passport 8600 switches by
providing load sharing among all the
links and fast sub-second fail-over in
case of link failures.
High-availability
– With QoS support, policies can
be created to give certain users or
applications priority for network
resources.*
Security
– Features include BaySecure MAC
address-based security, Radius authen-
tication, SNMPv3 user authentication
and data encryption, password
protection, and EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol) over LAN
using IEEE 802.1x.

software lowers training and
installation costs
Customer qualifications
• Does the customer need high-density
desktop connectivity?
• Is cost a major issue for purchasing
networking equipment?
• Does the customer currently have
(or plan to add) high-bandwidth
or delay-intolerant applications on
your network?
• Are resiliency and security critical
to the customer’s LAN?
• Is space a major issue in the
wiring closet?
Nortel Networks solution
Part of the Nortel Networks successful
BayStack family, the BayStack 470-48T
10/100 Policy Switch is designed to
provide high-density connectivity to
enterprise customers’ wiring closets. Its
Quality of Service (QoS) features ensure
connectivity and network availability by
managing and prioritizing data traffic
and users for maximum performance. It
is a scalable, resilient solution that mini-
mizes capital and operational expenses.
Its security features offer protection
against unauthorized access to data traffic.
The BayStack 470-48T Policy Switch
is a high-density, stackable 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet Layer 2 switch with 48 10/
100BASE-TX ports, two built-in GBIC
uplink ports, as well as built-in stacking
ports in a compact 1U high design.
Scalability
– Up to eight BayStack 470-48T Policy
Switches can be stacked to achieve up
to 384 10/100 ports for high-density
desktop switching.*
Performance
– Two built-in GBIC ports for dedicated
uplink connectivity to network core
switches such as Passport 8600.
– Up to 16 GBIC ports are available
for uplink connectivity in a full stack.
– 2.5-Gbps cascading bandwidth is
higher than competitors.
96-port solution with 1 Gigabit uplink using BPS vs. BayStack 470-48T Switches:
OPTION 1:
BPS (4): $2,595 ea x 4 = $10,380
Cascade module $395 ea x 4 = $1,580
Uplink module (SX MDA): $1,295 ea x 1 = $1,295
Total Costs = $13,255
Total per port cost = $138
OPTION 2:
BayStack 470 (2): $4,495 ea x 2 = $8,990
Cascade module: $0 ea = $0
Uplink module (SX GBIC): $345 ea x 1 = $345
Total Costs = $9,335
Total per port cost = $ 97
TOTAL SAVINGS = $3,920 (30% savings)
