Service Management
Superior manageability
(continued)
• An embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four
RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic
management, monitoring, and analysis.
• The switch supports all nine RMON groups through the use of a Cisco
SwitchProbe
®
Analyzer (Switched Port Analyzer [SPAN]) port, permitting
traffic monitoring of a single port, a group of ports, or the entire switch from
a single network analyzer or RMON probe.
• RSPAN (Remote SPAN) allows network administrators to remotely monitor
ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any other switch in the same
network.
• The Domain Name System (DNS) provides IP address resolution with
user-defined device names.
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering
software upgrades by downloading from a centralized location.
• Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent
timestamp to all switches within the intranet.
• Multifunction LEDs per port for port status, half-duplex/full-duplex, 10BaseT/
100BaseTX/1000BaseT indication, as well as switch-level status LEDs for
system, redundant power supply, and bandwidth utilization provide a
comprehensive and convenient visual management system.
Ease of use and ease of deployment • Autoconfiguration eases deployment of switches in the network by
automatically configuring multiple switches across a network via a boot
server.
• Autosensing on each non-GBICport detects thespeed 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 1000BaseT
environments.
• Autonegotiating on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex
transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.
• Cisco Discovery Protocol Versions 1 and 2 enable a CiscoWorks network
management station to automatically discover the switch in a network
topology.
• Cisco VTP supports dynamic VLANs and dynamictrunk configuration across
all switches.
• Support for dynamic VLAN assignment through implementation of VLAN
Membership Policy Server (VMPS) client functionality provides flexibility in
assigning ports to VLANs.
• Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) enables dynamic trunk configuration
across all ports in 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.
• IEEE 802.3z-compliant 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX/LH, 1000BaseZX, and
1000BaseT physical interface support through a field-replaceable GBIC
module provides customers unprecedented flexibility in switch deployment.
