|
|
| • |
Broadcast control: allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic |
|
| • |
Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or whole switch |
|
| • |
Powerful QoS feature: supports the following congestion actions: strict priority queuing (SP), weighted round robin (WRR) queuing, and SP+WRR |
|
| • |
Traffic policing: supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate |
|
|
|
| • |
Friendly port names: allows assignment of descriptive names to ports |
|
| • |
Remote configuration and management: enables configuration and management through a secure Web browser or a CLI located on a remote device |
|
| • |
Manager and operator privilege levels: provides read-only (operator) and read/write (manager) access on CLI and Web browser management interfaces |
|
| • |
Command authorization: leverages HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail |
|
| • |
Secure Web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS |
|
|
|
| • |
Auto-MDIX: automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports |
|
| • |
Flow control: provides back pressure using standard IEEE 802.3x, reducing congestion in heavy traffic situations |
|
| • |
Ethernet operations, administration and maintenance (OAM): detects data link layer problems that occurred in the "last mile" using the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard; monitors the status of the link between the two devices |
|
| • |
Jumbo packet support: supports up to 9216-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers |
|
| • |
Optional 10GbE ports: deliver, through the use of optional modules, additional 10GbE connections, which are available for uplinks or high-bandwidth server connections; flexibly supports copper, XFP, SFP+, or CX4 local connections |
|
|
|
| • |
Nonblocking architecture: up to 192 Gbps nonblocking switching fabric provides wire-speed switching with up to 143 million pps throughput |
|
| • |
Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists (ACLs): help provide high levels of security and ease of administration without impacting network performance with a feature-rich TCAM-based ACL implementation |
|
| Resiliency and high availability |
|
| • |
Separate data and control paths: separates control from services and keeps service processing isolated; increases security and performance |
|
| • |
External redundant power supply: provides high reliability |
|
| • |
Smart link: allows 50 ms failover between links |
|
| • |
Spanning Tree/MSTP and RSTP: provide redundant links while preventing network loops |
|
| • |
Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP): connects multiple switches in a high-performance ring using standard Ethernet technology; traffic can be rerouted around the ring in less than 50 ms, reducing the impact on traffic and applications |
|
|
|
| • |
16K MAC address table: provides access to many Layer 2 devices |
|
| • |
VLAN support and tagging: supports IEEE 802.1Q with 4,094 simultaneous VLAN IDs |
|
| • |
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol: allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs |
|
| • |
IEEE 802.1ad QinQ and selective QinQ: increase the scalability of an Ethernet network by providing a hierarchical structure; connect multiple LANs on a high-speed campus or metro network |
|
| • |
10GbE port aggregation: allows grouping of ports to increase overall data throughput to a remote device |
|
|
|
| • |
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet |
|
| • |
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): simplifies the management of large IP networks; supports client; DHCP Relay enables DHCP operation across subnets |
|
| • |
Loopback interface address: defines an address in Routing Information Protocol (RIP) that can always be reachable, improving diagnostic capability |
|
| • |
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) helper function: allows UDP broadcasts to be directed across router interfaces to specific IP unicast or subnet broadcast addresses and prevents server spoofing for UDP services such as DHCP |
|
| • |
Route maps: provide more control during route redistribution; allow filtering and altering of route metrics |
