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.
●
SNMPv1, v2, and v3 (non-crypto) and Telnet interface support deliver
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.
●
CiscoWorks is supported by the CiscoWorks 2000 LAN Management
Solution.
Ease of use and
ease of deployment
●
Cisco Device Manager is 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.
●
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.
●
Autoconfiguration eases the deployment of switches in the network by
automatically configuring multiple switches across a network via a boot
server.
●
Autosensing on each Ethernet 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.
●
Autonegotiating 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.
●
DTP enables dynamic trunk configuration across all ports in the switch.
●
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.
●
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 EtherChannel and PAgP.
●
The default configuration stored in Flash helps ensure that the switch can be
quickly connected to the network and can pass traffic with minimal user
intervention.
