Ease of Operations
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches help reduce the operating costs through:
●
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations
●
Easy-to-use deployment and control features
●
Advanced, intelligent network management tools
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations is a comprehensive set of capabilities that simplify LAN deployment, configuration,
and troubleshooting. Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations enable zero-touch installation and replacement of switches,
fast upgrade, as well as ease of troubleshooting with reduced operational cost.
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations is a set of features that includes Smart Install, Auto Smartports, Smart
Configuration. and Smart Troubleshooting to enhance operational excellence:
●
Cisco Smart Install is a transparent plug-and-play technology to configure the Cisco IOS
®
Software image
and switch configuration without user intervention. Smart Install utilizes dynamic IP address allocation and the
assistance of other switches to facilitate installation providing transparent network plug and play.
●
Cisco Auto Smartports provide automatic configuration as devices connect to the switch port, allowing auto
detection and plug and play of the device onto the network.
Easy-to-Use Deployment and Control Features
●
Auto-Negotiation on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize
bandwidth
●
Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) facilitates dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports
●
Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel
®
groups or Gigabit
EtherChannel groups to link to another switch, router, or server
●
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that
conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP
●
Automatic Media-Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs
if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed
●
Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links caused by
incorrect fiber-optic wiring or port faults to be detected and disabled on fiber-optic interfaces
●
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server
eases switch deployment
