Data Sheet
Feature Description
Layer 2 Switching
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Standard 802.1d Spanning Tree support
Fast convergence using 802.1w (Rapid Spanning Tree [RSTP]), enabled by default
8 instances are supported
Multiple Spanning Tree instances using 802.1s (MSTP)
Port grouping Support for IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
●
Up to 8 groups
●
Up to 8 ports per group with 16 candidate ports for each (dynamic) 802.3ad link aggregation
VLAN Support for up to 4096 VLANs simultaneously Port-based and 802.1Q tag-based VLANs MAC-
based VLAN
Management VLAN
Private VLAN Edge (PVE), also known as protected ports, with multiple uplinks
Guest VLAN Unauthenticated VLAN
Dynamic VLAN assignment via Radius server along with 802.1x client authentication
CPE VLAN
Voice VLAN Voice traffic is automatically assigned to a voice-specific VLAN and treated with appropriate levels
of QoS.
Auto voice capabilities deliver network-wide zero touch deployment of voice endpoints and call
control devices.
Multicast TV VLAN Multicast TV VLAN allows the single multicast VLAN to be shared in the network while subscribers
remain in separate VLANs (Also known as MVR)
Q-in-Q VLAN VLANs transparently cross a service provider network while isolating traffic among customers
Generic VLAN Registration
Protocol (GVRP)/Generic
Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP)
Protocols for automatically propagating and configuring VLANs in a bridged domain
Unidirectional Link Detection
(UDLD)
UDLD monitors physical connection to detect unidirectional links caused by incorrect wiring or
cable/port faults to prevent forwarding loops and blackholing of traffic in switched networks
Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) Relay at Layer 2
Relay of DHCP traffic to DHCP server in different VLAN. Works with DHCP Option 82
Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) versions 1, 2,
and 3 snooping
IGMP limits bandwidth-intensive multicast traffic to only the requesters; supports 1K multicast
groups (source-specific multicasting is also supported)
IGMP Querier IGMP querier is used to support a Layer 2 multicast domain of snooping switches in the absence of
a multicast router
Head-of-line (HOL) blocking HOL blocking prevention
Jumbo Frames Up to 9K (9216) bytes
Layer 3
IPv4 routing Wirespeed routing of IPv4 packets
Up to 512 static routes and up to 128 IP interfaces
Classless Inter-Domain Routing
(CIDR)
Support for CIDR
Layer 3 Interface Configuration of layer 3 interface on physical port, LAG, VLAN interface or Loopback interface
DHCP relay at Layer 3 Relay of DHCP traffic across IP domains
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
relay
Relay of broadcast information across Layer 3 domains for application discovery or relaying of
BootP/DHCP packets
DHCP Server Switch functions as an IPv4 DHCP Server serving IP addresses for multiple DHCP pools/scopes
Support for DHCP options
Security
Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol SSH is a secure replacement for Telnet traffic. SCP also uses SSH. SSH v1 and v2 are supported
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) SSL support: Encrypts all HTTPS traffic, allowing highly secure access to the browser-based
management GUI in the switch
IEEE 802.1X (Authenticator role) 802.1X: RADIUS authentication and accounting, MD5 hash; guest VLAN; unauthenticated VLAN,
single/multiple host mode and single/multiple sessions
Supports time-based 802.1X Dynamic VLAN assignment
