● Avaya C360 BUPS back-up power supply module.
The Avaya C360 BUPS can support up to four Avaya C360 switches.
● One RJ45/RS232 front panel console connector that is used for both terminal and modem
sessions.
● Three fan units with operation sensors for each switch.
● One virtual IP address for managing the whole stack that allows the C360 stack to be
managed as a single entity.
● The ability to hot-swap one switch at a time by activation of the redundant cable:
- Does not disrupt the operation of other Avaya C360 switches.
- Does not change stack configuration.
- Does not require network downtime.
● Connection through Telnet from the front panel ports of any switch:
- Multiple levels of password protection
- Login and inactivity timeouts
Building a stack
Follow the guidelines in this section in order to build a working stack using any combination of
the following devices:
● P330 series
● P330-ML series
● G700
● C360 series
1. Add only a single box at a time to an existing stack.
!
Important:
Important:
The stack master (also called "stack IP Agent") may fail to preserve existing
"stack configuration" if you will add more than a single device to an existing stack
at a time.
- After adding the first box, wait until the stack is functioning fully before adding the next
device.
2. Refer to Table 6 to see which firmware versions can be used in mixed stacks.
For example, if you wish to add a P332G-ML to a stack with C360 4.5 switches, the
P332G-ML switch must have firmware version 4.5.8.
- Upgrade/downgrade the firmware of switches that do not match version in the table.
