for stacking purposes. Using the proven Distributed Multi-Link Trunking (DMLT)
resiliency feature, up to 16 GBIC ports are available for pure uplink connectivity in a full
stack—among the highest in the market.
BayStack 5510 Switches have also been architected to support future technologies such as 
10 Gigabit uplinks. 
Plug-and-play stacking with built-in stacking ports
BayStack 5510 Switches have built-in stacking ports for faster, plug-and-play stacking. This
is more cost-effective as cascade modules are not required. This stacking design frees up both
of the uplink ports for dedicated connectivity to the backbone. For ordering convenience,
BayStack 5510 Switches are available in models with or without a cascade cable (1.5 foot). In
addition, cascade cables are also available in different lengths—1.5 foot, 10 feet and 5 meters
(16.4 feet)—to cover a variety of stacking needs.
Recessed stacking connectors for
higher reliability
BayStack 5510 Switches are designed with
recessed stacking connectors that save
premium closet space and protect the
integrity of the stack from accidental contact
(Figure 3).
BoSS (BayStack operating system
Switching Software)
BoSS for BayStack 5510 Switches is a
single software image that allows BayStack
5510-48T, BayStack 5510-24T, and future
BayStack 5000 series switches to stack
together. BoSS for BayStack 5510 Switches
is specific to this next generation of stack-
ing switches, with a software image that
supports this new architecture. Earlier
BayStack switches support a different
version of BoSS—although all share the
same core software. 
Simplified network operations
BoSS simplifies network operations by reducing the number of steps required for switch soft-
ware updates. With BoSS, only a single image needs to be downloaded from Nortel
Networks support site for all BayStack 5510 Switch types. Loading the image to different
switches is also considerably simplified. The image is loaded only to the base unit of the stack
which automatically loads it to other switches in the stack. 
BoSS v4.0 features
Newly released BoSS version 4.0 is downloadable from the Web for free and includes support
for the following new features:
• IP routing with static routes, ARP, and DHCP relay
• Security features including Secure Shell Protocol (SSHv2) and Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) for the Web Management interface (HTTPS)
• Generation of ASCII configuration files
• QoS Queue-Set and Buffering configuration
• Custom autonegotiation advertisements
• Optivity* Policy Services
