Feature Benefit

Support for

CiscoWorks

• Manageable through CiscoWorks network management software on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a

common management interface for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs.

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP v1, v2, and v3 (noncryptographic) and Telnet interface support delivers

comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI-based management console provides detailed out-of-band management.

• Cisco Discovery Protocol Versions 1 and 2 enable a CiscoWorks network management station to automatically discover

the switch in a network topology.

• Supported by the CiscoWorks 2000 LAN Management Solution.

Ease of Use

and Ease of

Deployment

• Cisco Device Manager is an embedded web-based software that allows the customer to easily configure and troubleshoot

the switch, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge, and reducing the

cost of deployment by enabling less-skilled personnel to quickly and simply set up switches.

• Cisco Express Setup allows the customer to quickly and easily initialize a switch with a web browser.

• Smartports offers a set of verified feature macros per connection type in an easy-to-apply manner. With these macros,

users can consistently and reliably configure essential security, availability, quality of service, and manageability features

recommended for Cisco Business Ready Campus solutions with minimal effort and expertise.

• The Cisco GigaStack Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) delivers a hardware-based, independent stacking bus with up

to 2 Gbps forwarding rate in a point-to-point configuration, or 1 Gbps of forwarding bandwidth when daisy-chained with

up to nine switches.

• Auto-configuration eases deployment of switches in the network by automatically configuring multiple switches across

a network via a boot server.

• Automatic QoS (Auto-QoS) greatly simplifies the configuration of QoS in VoIP networks by issuing interface and global

switch commands that allow the detection of Cisco IP phones, the classification of traffic, and egress queue

configuration.

• Auto-sensing on each non-GBIC port detects the speed of the attached device and automatically configures the port for

10-, 100-, or 1000-Mbps operation, easing the deployment of the switch in mixed 10, 100, and 1000BASE-T

environments.

• Auto-negotiating on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.

• Cisco VTP supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across all switches.

• Voice VLAN simplifies telephony installations by keeping voice traffic on a separate VLAN for easier network

administration and troubleshooting.

• Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) enables dynamic trunk configuration across all ports on the switch.

• Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel

or Gigabit EtherChannel groups,

enabling linking 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 is similar to Cisco’s EtherChannel and PAgP.

• IEEE 802.3z-compliant 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, and 1000BASE-T physical interface

support through a field-replaceable GBIC module provides customers with unprecedented flexibility in switch

deployment.

• The default configuration stored in Flash helps to ensure that the switch can be quickly connected to the network and can

pass traffic with minimal user intervention.

• The switches support nonstandard Ethernet frame sizes (mini-giants) up to 1542 bytes (configurations with GBIC ports

only).
