T
he way in which businesses use LANs is changing and the performance requirement at the
edge of the network is becoming more demanding. IP Telephony and other collaborative
applications are driving more traffic to the edge of the network. As file sizes continue to grow,
users need more bandwidth. Quite simply, the convergence of voice, video, data, and storage
enables users to do more from their desktop. Enterprises need to be able to address todays
increased demands and still prepare for the unknown demands of tomorrow. By re-assessing
how theyre using the wiring closet, they can achieve both goals, and be assured that their
investments will be protected for a long time to come.
Part of the Nortel Networks BayStack* 5000 series, BayStack 5510 Switches are 1 rack unit high
stackable 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Layer 3 routing switches that are designed to provide
high-density Gigabit desktop connectivity for mid-size and large enterprise customers’ wiring
closets. BayStack 5510 Switches offer a scalable and resilient solution, providing exceptional
security features and support for enhanced convergence while minimizing capital and opera-
tional expenses. The BayStack 5000 family
of switches represents the next generation in
innovation and performance in a stackable
solution.
BayStack 5510 Switches are available in
two models—the BayStack 5510-48T
Switch (Figure 1) and the BayStack 5510-24T
Switch. Power over Ethernet versions of the
switches are planned for release in the future.
Highest-density Gigabit desktop switching
The BayStack 5510-48T Switch features 48 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports for desktop
switching and two built-in SFP (Small Form factor Pluggable) GBIC ports for uplink. Port 47
and Port 48 offer configuration flexibility by allowing the network administrator to configure
each port as either 10/100/1000 or make use of the built-in SFP GBIC. As many as eight
BayStack 5510-48T Switches can be stacked to achieve up to 384 10/100/1000 ports for
highest-density desktop switching.
