Accessing the switch
Introduction
This guide will help you plan, implement, and administer the switch software. Where possible, each
section provides feature overviews, usage examples, and configuration instructions.
“Accessing the switch” describes how to configure and view information and statistics on the switch
over an IP network. This chapter also discusses different methods to manage the switch for remote
administrators, such as setting specific IP addresses and using Remote Authentication Dial-in User
Service (RADIUS) authentication, Secure Shell (SSH), and Secure Copy (SCP) for secure access to the
switch.
“Ports and port trunking” describes how to group multiple physical ports together to aggregate the
bandwidth between large-scale network devices.
“Port-based Network Access and Traffic Control” describes how to authenticate devices attached
to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection characteristics. Port-based Network Access Control
provides security to ports of the switch that connect to servers. Port-based Traffic Control allows the
switch to guard against broadcast storms.
“VLANs” describes how to configure Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) for creating separate
network segments, including how to use VLAN tagging for devices that use multiple VLANs.
“Spanning Tree Protocol” discusses how spanning trees configure the network so that the switch uses
the most efficient path when multiple paths exist.
“Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol/Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol” describes extensions to the
Spanning Tree Protocol that provide rapid convergence of spanning trees for fast reconfiguration of
the network.
“Quality of Service” discusses Quality of Service features, including IP filtering using Access Control
Lists, Differentiated Services, and IEEE 802.1p priority values.
“Basic IP Routing” describes how to configure the switch for IP routing using IP subnets.
“Routing Information Protocol” describes how the switch software implements standard Routing
Information Protocol (RIP) for exchanging TCP/IP route information with other routers.
“IGMP Snooping” describes how to use IGMP to conserve bandwidth in a multicast-switching
environment.
“OSPF” describes Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) concepts, how OSPF is implemented, and examples
of how to configure your switch for OSPF support.
“Remote Monitoring” describes how to configure the RMON agent on the switch, so the switch can
exchange network monitoring data.
“High Availability” describes how the switch supports high-availability network topologies. This
release provides Uplink Failure Detection and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).
“Troubleshooting tools” describes Port Mirroring and other troubleshooting techniques.
