Switch Support
Full QoS support for IPv6 traffic. 12.2(52)SE 3120
Smart Install to allow a single point of management (director) in a network. You
can use Smart Install to provide zero touch image and configuration upgrade of
newly deployed switches and image and configuration downloads for any client
switches.
12.2(52)SE 3120
Cisco Medianet to enable intelligent services in the network infrastructure for a
wide variety of video applications. One of the services of Medianet is auto
provisioning for Cisco Digital Media Players and Cisco IP Video Surveillance
cameras through Auto Smartports.
12.2(52)SE 3120
Support for IP source guard on static hosts. 12.2(52)SE 3120
RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA) to change the attributes of a certain
session after it is authenticated. When there is a change in policy for a user or
user group in AAA, administrators can send the RADIUS CoA packets from the
AAA server, such as Cisco Secure ACS to reinitialize authentication, and apply
to the new policies.
12.2(52)SE 3120
IEEE 802.1x User Distribution to allow deployments with multiple VLANs (for
a group of users) to improve scalability of the network by load balancing users
across different VLANs. Authorized users are assigned to the least populated
VLAN in the group, assigned by RADIUS server.
12.2(52)SE 3120
Support for critical VLAN with multiple-host authentication so that when a port
is configured for multi-auth, and an AAA server becomes unreachable, the port
is placed in a critical VLAN in order to still permit access to critical resources.
12.2(52)SE 3120
Customizable web authentication enhancement to allow the creation of
user-defined login, success, failure and expire web pages for local web
authentication.
12.2(52)SE 3120
Support for Network Edge Access Topology (NEAT) to change the port host
mode and to apply a standard port configuration on the authenticator switch port.
12.2(52)SE 3120
VLAN-ID based MAC authentication to use the combined VLAN and MAC
address information for user authentication to prevent network access from
unauthorized VLANs.
12.2(52)SE 3120
MAC move to allow hosts (including the hosts connected behind an IP phone) to
move across ports within the same switch without any restrictions to enable
mobility. With MAC move, the switch treats the reappearance of the same MAC
address on another port in the same way as a completely new MAC address.
12.2(52)SE 3120
Support for including a hostname in the option 12 field of DHCPDISCOVER
packets. This provides identical configuration files to be sent by using the DHCP
protocol.
