Comprehensive Manageability
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and
Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band
management, and the Cisco IOS CLI-based
management console provides detailed out-of-band
management.
• Visual Switch Manager, a built-in Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) server, provides an ease-of-use
Web-based management interface through a standard
browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft
Explorer.
• The switch is manageable through CiscoWorks
Windows and CiscoWorks 2000 network management
software on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a
common management interface for Cisco routers,
switches, and hubs.
• Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) enables a CiscoWorks
network management station to automatically discover
the switch in a network topology.
• An embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software
agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics,
alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic management,
monitoring, and analysis.
• Cisco IOS software supports all nine RMON groups
through use of a Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port,
which permits high-performance traffic monitoring of
a single port, a group of ports, or the entire switch from
a single network analyzer or RMON probe.
• Autoconfiguration eases deployment of switches in the
network by automatically configuring multiple switches
across a network via a boot server.
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of
administering software upgrades by enabling
downloads from a centralized location.
• Each port includes a multifunction LED for port status,
half-duplex/full-duplex, and 10BaseT/100BaseT
indications as well as switch-level status LEDs for
system, module status, redundant power supply (RPS),
and bandwidth utilization, providing a comprehensive
and convenient visual management system.
Security and Redundancy
• IEEE 802.1D Spanning-Tree Protocol support for
redundant backbone connections and loop-free
networks simplifies network configuration and
improves fault tolerance.
• MAC-based port level security prevents unauthorized
stations from accessing a switch.
• The user-selectable address learning mode simplifies
configuration and enhances security.
• Multilevel security on the console access prevents
unauthorized users from altering the switch
configuration.
