requirements
●
Local Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) works in conjunction with Private VLAN Edge to minimize
broadcasts and maximize available bandwidth
●
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping for IPv4 and IPv6 MLD v1 and v2 Snooping
provide fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limit bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the
requestors
●
Per-Port Broadcast, Multicast, and Unicast Storm Control prevents faulty end stations from degrading
overall systems performance
●
Voice VLAN simplifies telephony installations by keeping voice traffic on a separate VLAN for easier
administration and troubleshooting
●
Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across all
switches
●
Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) allows administrators to monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any
other switch in the same network
