Features and benefits
Quality of Service (QoS)
•
Broadcast control
allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted
network broadcast traffic
•
Advanced classifier-based QoS
classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3,
and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level
and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis
•
Powerful QoS feature
supports the following congestion actions: strict priority queuing
(SP), weighted round robin (WRR) queuing, and SP+WRR
•
Traffic policing
supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
Management
•
Friendly port names
allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
•
Remote configuration and management
is available through a secure Web browser or a command-line
interface (CLI)
•
Manager and operator privilege levels
enable read-only (operator) and read/write (manager) access on CLI
and Web browser management interfaces
•
Command authorization
leverages HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an
individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail
•
Secure Web GUI
provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring
the module via HTTPS
•
Multiple configuration files
can be stored to the flash image
•
Complete session logging
provides detailed information for problem identification and
resolution
•
SNMPv1, v2c, and v3
facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure
management of networking devices
•
Remote monitoring (RMON)
uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions;
supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private
alarm extension group
•
IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
automated device discovery protocol provides easy mapping of
network management applications
•
Management VLAN
segments traffic to and from management interfaces, including
CLI/telnet, a Web browser interface, and SNMP
•
Local and Remote Intelligent Mirroring
mirror traffic from a switch port to a local or remote switch port
anywhere on the network; mirror ACL-selected traffic to a local
switch port
•
Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP)
monitors a cable between two switches and shuts down the ports
on both ends if the cable is broken, preventing network problems
such as loop
•
Troubleshooting
ingress and egress port monitoring enable network problem
solving; virtual cable tests provide visibility into cable problems
•
Stacking capability
single IP address management for a stack of up to 16 switches
Connectivity
•
NEW IPv6 (on v2 products)
– Telnet v6
to allow IPv6 management
– DNSv6 Client
for IPv6 host management
– SNMPv6
for IPv6 switch management
– DHCPv6 Client
for automatic IPv6 address configuration of a switch
•
Auto-MDIX
automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on
all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports
•
Flow control
using standard IEEE 802.3x, it provides back pressure to reduce
congestion in heavy traffic situations
•
Gigabit Ethernet uplinks
are dual-personality ports for either 10/100/1000 or mini-GBIC SFP
connectivity for increased connectivity flexibility
•
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant
PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and
security cameras
•
Ethernet OAM
provides a Layer 2 link performance and fault detection monitoring
tool, which reduces failover and network convergence times
Performance
•
Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists (ACLs)
feature-rich ACL implementation (TCAM-based) helps ensure high
levels of security and ease of administration without impacting
network performance
•
Gigabit Ethernet interface
provides a connection to the network that eliminates the network as
a bottleneck
