AL2012E52 - Avaya Nortel Bay stack ethernet 470-48T-PWR Switch

Product Description

The Avaya Nortel BayStack 470-48T-PWR, identified by SKU AL2012E52, is a high-performance managed Fast Ethernet switch engineered to provide robust network connectivity for businesses. It features 48 ports operating at 10/100 Mbps, making it ideal for environments with a large number of end devices such as workstations, IP phones, and wireless access points. A key feature of this model is its integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard. This allows the switch to simultaneously deliver network data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying deployment and reducing cabling costs for PoE-enabled devices. With a switching capacity of 9.6 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 7.14 Mpps, the AL2012E52 is capable of handling significant network traffic loads, ensuring smooth data flow even in busy network segments. It supports advanced networking features such as IEEE 802.1Q VLANs for network segmentation and traffic management, and IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing critical traffic like voice and video. These features enhance network performance, security, and efficiency. Management of the BayStack 470-48T-PWR can be performed through various methods, including a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and a command-line interface (CLI). This flexibility allows network administrators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch according to their preferred management style and existing network infrastructure. The switch typically includes uplink ports (often SFP or Gigabit Ethernet) for connecting to higher-tier network devices or aggregating traffic, further enhancing its role in a comprehensive network architecture.
