Avaya BayStack Operating System Switching Software (BoSS 3.1) for BayStack 460, 470 Release Notes

1. Downloading BoSS 3 1 software To obtain the BoSS 3 1 software that does not contain SSH download the following files from the Nortel Networks customer support web site at http www nortelnetworks com support e boss31078 1mg Note Ensure that you do not interrupt the download process do not detach either the power cord or any of the network connections during download Release Notes for BayStack Operating System Switching Software BoSS 3 1 24 ASCII configuration generator 215148 D The ASCII Configuration Generator ACG allows the configuration settings of the switch to be displayed or saved to an external ASCII configuration file made up of a series of CLI commands This editable ASCII configuration file can then be uploaded to a switch from an external file server Note You must reset the switch to the factory default settings before uploading the ACG generated ASCII configuration file Resetting the switch to factory default settings will cause loss of connectivity and loss of the current configuration of the switch The ASCII configuration file contains configuration settings for the following network management applications Core applications system information topology etc Internet Protocol Multilink Trunking Port configuration Partial Spanning Tree configuration including configuration of port priority and path cost VLAN configuration Quality of Service QoS RMON The ACG is only availa
2. Ensure that the new switch you will be inserting 1s set to factory default values You will be configuring this new unit in standalone mode before inserting it into the stack Download the part of the configuration file corresponding to the unit you are replacing from the TFTP server to the standalone BayStack switch unit The standalone unit extracts the relevant configuration information With the management system you are using connected to the standalone replacement unit you will specify the unit you are replacing The standalone switch resets and reboots with the correct configuration for the stack In the stack using the management system specify the unit number you want to replace Physically replace the failed unit in the stack with the newly configured switch and complete the cabling Turn on the replaced unit Note The new unit must be running the identical software and firmware gt version as the unit you are replacing You must replace a BayStack 470 48T switch with a BayStack 470 48T switch and replace a BayStack 470 24T switch with a BayStack 470 24T switch The new unit joins the stack as the replaced unit and it comes up appropriately without resetting the stack 215148 D 7 If you are replacing the base unit remember that the stack will have a temporary base unit When you replace the unit the newly replaced unit will not automatically resume as the base unit You must configure the replaced
3. The LACP defined by the IEEE 802 3ad standard allows a switch to learn the presence and capabilities of a remote switch by exchanging information with the remote switch before a trunk group is formed Either switch can accept or reject the aggregation request with the far end on a per port basis A link that can not join a trunk group operates as an individual link 802 3ad provides an industry standard method for bundling multiple links together to form a single trunk between two networking devices Trunks that conform to the 802 3ad standard are Link Aggregation Groups LAGs BoSS 3 1 supports 2 types of trunks Dynamic LAG MIT A trunk group that 1s formed by Link Aggregation is called a Link Aggregation group LAG and a trunk group that is formed by BayStack Multilink Trunking is called a Multilink trunk MLT group BayStack software supports both Link Aggregation groups and Multilink trunks By default Link Aggregation 1s set to disabled on all ports A Link Aggregation group or trunk group can be created or deleted automatically using Link Aggregation Control Protocol LACP The maximum number of Link Aggregation and MLT groups is 6 and the maximum number of active links per group is 4 Link Aggregation allows more than 4 links to be configured in one Link Aggregation group LAG 31 The first four high priority links are active links and together they form a trunk group The fifth low priority link remains in standby
