Avaya expansion modules

Avaya cascade module (Octaplane)

Each Avaya P330 switch and Avaya G700 Media Gateway has an expansion slot at the rear for the 8Gbps Octaplane stacking fabric. The use of a separate expansion slot for the Octaplane Stacking Module means that all the front panel ports are available for network connections. The Octaplane Stackable Switching System incorporates a range of redundancy, resilience, and hot-swapping features to keep the stack operating smoothly.

In the unlikely event that a Avaya P330 switch or G700 should fail, stack integrity is maintained. The broken link is bypassed and transmission continues uninterrupted. The single management IP address for the stack is also preserved for uninterrupted management and monitoring. You can also remove or replace any single unit within the stack at a time without disrupting operation or performing stack-level reconfiguration.
