Cooling Fans
Variable-speed cooling fans in the BayStack 350 switch provide cooling for the 
internal components. When you install the switch, be sure to allow enough space 
on both sides of the switch for adequate airflow.
Features
BayStack 350 switches provide wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching that allows 
high-performance, low-cost connections to full-duplex and half-duplex 10 
megabits per second (Mb/s) and 100 Mb/s Ethernet local area networks (LANs).
Based on advanced application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology, 
BayStack 350 switches can be cost effectively deployed in 10 Mb/s networks. As 
performance requirements increase and 100 Mb/s LANs are deployed, each port 
uses autosensing* to support any combination of 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s Ethernet 
LANs.
One of the many benefits provided by the BayStack 350 switch is that network 
users now have the flexibility to grow from 10 Mb/s switching to 100 Mb/s 
switching using a single product.
The BayStack 350 switch offers the following features:
High-speed forwarding rate: 1.6 million packets per second (peak)
Learning rate: 1.6 million addresses per second (peak)
Spanning Tree Protocol: IEEE 802.1D standards compliant
Store-and-forward switch: Full-performance forwarding at full line speed
Rate limiting: Adjustable broadcast and multicast packet-rate limits for 
control of broadcast and multicast storms
*. The BayStack 350 switch adjusts (autonegotiates) its port speed and duplex mode to match the best service 
provided by the connected station, up to 100 Mb/s in full-duplex mode.
