•
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
support: simplifies deployment and dramatically
reduces installation costs by helping to eliminate the
time and cost involved in supplying local power at
each access point location
•
Ethernet OAM: provides a Layer 2 link
performance and fault detection monitoring tool,
which reduces failover and network convergence
times
•
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+)
support: simplifies deployment and dramatically
reduces installation costs by helping to eliminate the
time and cost involved in supplying local power at
each access point location
Performance
•
Nonblocking performance: up to 17.6 Gbps
nonblocking switching fabric provides wire-speed
intra- and inter-module switching with up to 11.78
million pps throughput
•
Gigabit Ethernet interface: provides a
connection to the network that eliminates the
network as a bottleneck
•
Hardware-based wire-speed access control
lists: feature-rich ACL implementation helps ensure
high levels of security and ease of administration
without impacting network performance
Resiliency and high availability
•
Separate data and control paths: keeps
control separated from services and keeps service
processing isolated; increases security and
performance
•
External redundant power supply: provides
high reliability
•
Smart link: allows 50 ms failover between links
•
Spanning Tree/MSTP, RSTP: provides
redundant links while preventing network loops
•
Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF)
technology: allows customers to build a simple
and reliable architecture, reducing the number of IP
addresses and configuration files to manage; RVSF
addresses the OPEX problem that many customers
are facing by simplifying the task of managing
multiple devices, as well as eliminates the need for
legacy protocols like STP, RSTP, MSPT, and VRRP,
providing an active-active mode of operation for
both Layer 2 and Layer 3 at every layer in the
network
•
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP): supports up to 26 trunks, each
with 8 links per trunk; supports static or dynamic
groups
•
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
(VRRP): allows a group of routers to dynamically
back each other up to create highly available routed
environments
•
Ring Resiliency Protection Protocol (RRPP):
provides standard sub 50 ms recovery for ring
Ethernet-based topology
Manageability
•
RMON (remote monitoring): provides
advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities for
statistics, history, alarms, and events
Layer 2 switching
•
16/32K MAC address table: provides access
to many Layer 2 devices
•
VLAN support and tagging: support IEEE
802.1Q with 4,094 simultaneous VLAN IDs
•
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows
automatic learning and dynamic assignment of
VLANs
•
IEEE 802.1ad QinQ and Selective QinQ:
increase the scalability of an Ethernet network by
providing a hierarchical structure; connect multiple
LANs on a high-speed campus or metro network
•
Gigabit Ethernet port aggregation: allows
grouping of ports to increase overall data
throughput to a remote device
•
IP multicast snooping: automatically prevents
flooding of IP multicast traffic
•
Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery
(MLD) protocol snooping: effectively control
and manage the flooding of multicast packets in a
Layer 2 network
Layer 3 services
•
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP):
determines the MAC address of another IP host in
the same subnet
•
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP): simplifies the management of large IP
networks; supports client; DHCP Relay enables
DHCP operation across subnets
•
Loopback interface address: defines an
address in RIP that can always be reachable,
improving diagnostic capability
