Avaya P334T-ML Overview
Introduction
The P334T-ML is a powerful Multilayer Policy 10/100 BASE-T and Gigabit Ethernet
stackable switch. It enhances the P330 line to support high density multilayer
10/100 BASE-T and Gigabit Ethernet solutions.
The Avaya P330 family of stackable Ethernet workgroup switches includes a range
of modules with 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, a Layer 3 capability, and ATM and WAN
expansion modules.
An Avaya P330 stack can contain up to 10 switches and backup power supply units.
The stacked switches are connected using stacking Modules which plug into a slot
in the back of the Avaya P330. They are connected using the X330SC or X330LC
cable (if the stack is split between two racks). The Avaya X330RC cable connects the
top and bottom switches in the stack; this connection provides redundancy and
hot-swappability. A P330 stack is managed as a single IP entity.
About the P334T-ML
Basic information about the P334T-ML follows:
•
The Avaya P334T-ML has forty-eight 10/100BASE-T and two GBIC (SFP) ports,
and provides Layer 2 and optional Layer 3 Ethernet switching. Like other
members of the Avaya P330 family, the P334T-ML is available in AC and DC
versions.
• Multilayer switching with QoS, Policy Management, and multiple levels of
security and redundancy make the Avaya P334T-ML an ideal part of a
converged network. The P334T-ML is ready for voice and data applications, and
supports IEEE standards for VLAN Tagging, Gigabit Ethernet, Spanning Tree,
and Flow Control.
The Avaya P334T-ML can be deployed with other products in the P330-ML family
in stacks of up to ten switches. This makes increasing port density or adding new
technologies as simple as “plug and play.”
