L2 switching
• VLAN support and tagging
Supports IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously
• GARP VLAN registration protocol
Enables automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
• Jumbo packet support
Improves the performance of large data transfers; and supports frame sizes of up to 9,220 bytes
• IEEE 802.1v protocol VLANs
Isolate select non-IPv4 protocols automatically into their own VLANs
• Rapid per-VLAN spanning tree (RPVST+)
Allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree, improving link bandwidth usage in
network environments with PVST+
L3 routing
• Static IP routing
Provides manually congured routing; includes ECMP capability
• RIP
Includes RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing
• 256 static and 2,048 RIP routes
Facilitate segregation of user data, without adding external hardware
Security
• Multiple user authentication methods
– IEEE 802.1X
Uses an IEEE 802.1X supplicant on the client, in conjunction with a RADIUS server, to
authenticate in accordance with industry standards
– Web-based authentication
Provides a browser-based environment, similar to IEEE 802.1X, to authenticate clients that
do not support the IEEE 802.1X supplicant
– MAC-based authentication
Authenticates the client with a RADIUS server, based on the client’s MAC address
• Authentication exibility
– Multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port
Provides authentication of multiple IEEE 802.1X users per port; and helps prevent a user
from “piggybacking” on another user’s IEEE 802.1X authentication
– Concurrent IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC authentication schemes per port
Allows a switch port to accept up to 32 sessions of IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC
authentications
