Avaya C360 converged stackable switches
Issue 6 January 2008

Stacking
Up to 10 switches can be stacked together.
Features such as Spanning Tree, redundancy, VLANs, and SMON are common to the 
stack.
The Octaplane stacking system provides 8 Gbps stacking bandwidth to all switches in the 
stack.
C360 stacks continue to function even if one switch or link fails.
Switches in the stack can be added, removed, and replaced without disrupting operation.
An advanced election algorithm ensures optimal stack master selection.
Layer 2 features
Auto-sensing simplifies configuration of LAN connections by automatically selecting the 
port speed for devices — either 10Mb or 100Mb.
Auto-negotiation simplifies configuration of LAN connections by automatically selecting the 
port transmission mode for devices — either half- or full-duplex. 
Auto-MDIX automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100-TX 
ports.
Traffic prioritization (802.1p) allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels 
mapped to 4 queues.
There are four egress queues on all switch ports. The queues can be configured with the 
WRR (Weighted Round Robin) or strict priority scheduling algorithm. 
The use of the IEEE 802.1Q tagging for VLANs and per-port VLAN is supported.
Multiple VLANs per port allow access to shared resources by stations that belong to 
different VLANs.
The use of the IEEE 802.1w standard for Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides 
rapid convergence of the spanning tree in case of link failure.
The use of the IEEE 802.1x standard for port-based network security ensures that only 
authorized clients get network access. 
Up to 20 redundant-port pairs are supported to increase link resiliency. 
Inter-module redundancy is supported with one pair in a stack. The switching time is 
approximately 1 second. 
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) support of up to 7 trunks, with each trunk having up to 8 10/
100 links or 2 GB links, provides resiliency, load balancing, and bandwidth expansion.
LAG redundancy is supported through resiliency between two LAG groups.
Port mirroring of any switch port is supported.
