weighted deficit round robin (WDRR) or strict priority (SP)
 Simplified QoS configuration
o Port-based
prioritize traffic by specifying a port and priority level
o VLAN-based
prioritize traffic by specifying a VLAN and priority level
 Class of Service (CoS)
sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number,
source port, and DiffServ
 Rate limiting
sets per-port ingress enforced maximums for all ingressed traffic or for broadcast, multicast, or unknown destination
traffic
 Layer 4 prioritization
enables prioritization based on TCP/UDP port numbers
 Flow control
helps deliver reliable communication during full-duplex operation
Management
 Choice of management interfaces
o Web graphical user interface (GUI)
HTML-based easy-to-use graphical interface allows configuration of the switch from any Web browser
o Command-line interface (CLI)
provides advanced configuration and diagnostics through a robust CLI
o Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv1/v2c/v3)
allows a switch to be managed with a variety of third-party network management applications
 Virtual stacking
provides single IP address management for up to 16 switches
 sFlow (RFC 3176)
delivers wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring configured by SNMP and CLI with three terminal encrypted
receivers
 IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
automates device discovery protocol for easy mapping by network management applications
 Logging
provides local and remote logging of events via SNMP (v2c and v3) and syslog; provides log throttling and log filtering to
reduce the number of log events generated
 Port mirroring
allows traffic to be mirrored on any port or a network analyzer to assist with diagnostics or detecting network attacks
 RMON (remote monitoring)
provides advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for statistics, history, alarms, and events
 Find-Fix-and-Inform
finds and fixes common network problems automatically, then informs the administrator
 Friendly port names
allows assignment of descriptive names to ports
 Dual flash images
provides independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
 Multiple configuration files
allows multiple configuration files to be stored to a flash image
 Front-panel LEDs
o Locator LED
allows users to set the locator LED on a specific switch to either turn on, blink, or turn off; simplifies
troubleshooting by making it easy to locate a particular switch within a rack of similar switches
o Per-port LEDs
provides an at-a-glance view of status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation
