Data Sheet
Feature Description
RMON Embedded RMON software agent supports 4 RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events)
for enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis
IPv4 and IPv6 Dual Stack Coexistence of both protocol stacks to ease migration
Firmware upgrade
●
Web browser upgrade (HTTP/HTTPS) and TFTP and SCP
●
Upgrade can be initiated through console port as well
●
Dual images for resilient firmware upgrades
Port mirroring
Traffic on a port can be mirrored to another port for analysis with a network analyzer or RMON probe.
Up to 8 source ports can be mirrored to one destination port.
VLAN mirroring
Traffic from a VLAN can be mirrored to a port for analysis with a network analyzer or RMON probe. Up
to 8 source VLANs can be mirrored to one destination port.
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.
Auto configuration 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
Scriptable CLI. A full CLI as well as a menu CLI is supported.
Cloud Services
Support for Cisco Small Business and 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 10m. Supported on Gigabit Ethernet models.
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 9K (9216) bytes. Bare supported on 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
The default MTU is 2K.
MAC table 16K (16384) 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
(CDP)
The switch advertises itself using the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). It also learns the connected
device and its characteristics via CDP.
