Key Features/Benefits

Outstanding Performance

• 2410Base-T/100Base-TXautosensingportsdeliverFast

Ethernet performance where it is needed most—to

individual users, servers, anddemanding workgroups—

while preserving legacy 10Base-T connectivity.

• Full-duplex operation on switched 100Base-T ports

delivers up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth to end stations

servers and between switches.

• A 3.2 Gbps switching fabric and 3.0 million-pps

forwarding rate ensure wire-speed operation on all

10Base-T/100Base-TX ports.

• A4-MBshared-memoryarchitectureensuresthehighest

possible throughput by eliminating head-of-line

blocking, minimizing packet loss, and reducing

congestion from multicast and broadcast trafﬁc.

• Two high-speed expansion slots provide 1.6 Gbps of

total available bandwidth for additional 10Base-T/

100Base-TX or 100Base-FX ports, as well as

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Gigabit

Ethernet uplinks.

• Bandwidth aggregation through Fast EtherChannel

and Gigabit EtherChannel technology enhances fault

tolerance and offers up to 800 Mbps of bandwidth

among switches, routers, and individual servers.

• 12 EtherChannel bandwidth aggregation groups per

switch allow for a high-performance EtherChannel

group for every two ports on a 24-port Catalyst

2900 XL switch.

• CGMP enables a switch to selectively and dynamically

forwardroutedIPmulticasttraffictotargetedmultimedia

end stations, reducing overall network traffic.

• A conﬁgurable network port supports unlimited

Media-Access-Control (MAC) addresses for backbone

connectivity.

• Dual-priority forwarding queues on each 10/100

and Gigabit Ethernet port, enabling network trafﬁc

prioritization and seamless data, voice, and video

integration through IEEE 802.1p protocol.

• Trusted extension settings allow the switch to ensure

that voice trafﬁc from an IP phone gets high-priority

treatment by controlling how trafﬁc from a

daisy-chained device is classiﬁed.

Flexible and Scalable Switch Clustering

Architecture

• Cisco Switch Clustering technology allows a user to

manage up to sixteen interconnected Catalyst 3500XL,

2900 XL, and 1900 switches through a single IP

address, regardless of location.

• Cluster management is ensured in the rare event of

command switch failure via a failover scheme that

runs automatically.

Modular, High-Speed Slots

• Two versatile high-speed slots support a range of

expansion modules with different media conﬁgurations

and port densities, allowing users the ﬂexibility to

upgrade their networks and preserve their initial

investment. All ports support the Cisco ISL and

standards-based 802.1Q VLAN trunking protocols.

• Four-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX,two-port 100Base-FX,

and four-port 100Base-FX modules for the Catalyst

2924MXLswitchallowcustomerstoeasilyincreaseport

density, provide fiber connectivity over extended

distances, and deliver higher-speed uplinks through Fast

EtherChannel bandwidth aggregation.

• A GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet modulefor theCatalyst

2924M XL switch allows customers to use a range

of media tranceivers that include multiple stacking

options, short- and long-haul ﬁber, and copper

connectivity (including SX, LX/LH, ZX, TX, and

Cisco GigaStack converters).

• ForGigabitEthernet connectivity atan affordableprice,

the Cisco 1000Base-T module delivers gigabit over

copper uplinks for the wiring closet.

• ATM OC-3 modules support connectivity to

ATM backbones.

Ease of Use and Ease of Deployment

• The cluster software upgrade feature allows the

network manager to quickly and easily upgrade the

system software on a group of Catalyst 2900 XL, 3500

XL, and 1900 switches.

• CMS software, a Web-based interface, provides

network and stack views of a group of Catalyst 2900

XL switches from any node on the Internet with a

Web browser.
