Switch Feature Overview 65
CDP Interoperability Through ISDP
Industry Standard Discovery Protocol (ISDP) allows the Dell EMC
Networking N-Series switch to interoperate with Cisco devices running the
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). ISDP is a proprietary Layer-2 network
protocol which inter-operates with Cisco network equipment and is used to
share information between neighboring devices (routers, bridges, access
servers, and switches).
For information about configuring ISDP settings, see "Discovering Network
Devices" on page 913.
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
RMON is a standard Management Information Base (MIB) that defines
current and historical MAC-layer statistics and control objects, allowing real-
time information to be captured across the entire network.
For information about configuring managing RMON settings, see
"Monitoring Switch Traffic" on page 595.
Stacking Features
For information about creating and maintaining a stack of switches, see
"Stacking" on page 249.
Mixed and Single Series Stacking
The Dell EMC Networking N2000, N2100-ON, N3000E-ON, N3100-ON,
and N3200-ON Series switches include a stacking feature that allows multiple
switches of the same or different series to operate as a single unit as listed
below.
Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON Series switches stack with other Dell EMC
N1100-ON Series switches and Dell EMC Networking N1500 Series switches
stack with other Dell EMC N1500 Series switches.
The Dell EMC Networking N1124T-ON/N1124P-ON/N1148P-ON/N1148T-
ON switches stack up to four units using 10G Ethernet ports configured for
stacking. The Dell EMC Networking N1500 Series switches stack up to four
units using 10GB Ethernet links configured as stacking.
