Feature Description
DHCP (Options 12, 66, 67, 82,
129, and 150)
DHCP options facilitate tighter control from a central point (DHCP Server), to obtain IP address, auto
configuration (with configuration file download), DHCP Relay, and host name.
Autoconfiguration with Secure
Copy (SCP) file download
Enables secure mass deployment with protection of sensitive data.
Text-editable configs
Config files can be edited with a text editor and downloaded to another switch, facilitating easier mass
deployment.
Smartports
Simplified configuration of QoS and security capabilities.
Auto Smartports
Automatically applies the intelligence delivered through the Smartports roles to the port based on the devices discovered
over Cisco Discovery Protocol or LLDP-MED. This facilitates zero touch deployments.
Secure Copy (SCP)
Securely transfer files to and from the switch.
Textview CLI
Support for CLI scripting. A full CLI as well as a menu CLI is supported.
Cloud Services
Support for Cisco OnPlus.
Localization
Localization of GUI and documentation into multiple languages.
Login banner
Configurable login banners for web as well as CLI.
Time-based port operation
Link up or down based on user-defined schedule (when the port is administratively up).
Other management
Traceroute; single IP management; HTTP/HTTPS; SSH; RADIUS; port mirroring; TFTP upgrade; DHCP client;
BOOTP; Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP); Xmodem upgrade; cable diagnostics; Ping; syslog; Telnet
client (SSH secure support); Automatic time settings from Management Station.
Green (Power Efficiency)
Energy Detect
Automatically turns power off on Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port when detecting link down.
Active mode is resumed without loss of any packets when the switch detects the link is up.
Cable length detection
Adjusts the signal strength based on the cable length. Reduces the power consumption for cable shorter than
10 m.
EEE compliant (802.3az)
Supports IEEE 802.3az on all Gigabit copper ports.
Disable port LEDs
LEDs can be manually turned off to save on energy.
General
Jumbo frames Frame sizes up to 10 KB are supported on 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
The default MTU is 2 K.
MAC table 16,000 MAC addresses.
Discovery
Bonjour The switch advertises itself using the Bonjour protocol.
LLDP (802.1ab) with LLDP-MED
extensions
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows the switch to advertise its identification, configuration, and
capabilities to neighboring devices that store the data in a MIB. LLDP-MED is an enhancement to LLDP that
adds the extensions needed for IP phones.
Cisco Discovery Protocol The switch advertises itself using the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). It also learns the connected device and
its characteristics via CDP.
