• Layer 2 traceroute eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet
takes from the source device to a destination device.
• Crash Information Support enables the switch to generate a crash file for improved
troubleshooting.
• Show Interface Capabilities provides information on the configuration capabilities of any
interface.
• RTTMON-MIB allows users to monitor network performance between a Cisco Catalyst
switch and a remote device.
• Multifunction LEDs per port for port status, half-duplex/full-duplex, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/
1000BASE-T indication and switch-level status LEDs for system, redundant power supply,
and bandwidth usage provide a comprehensive and convenient visual management
system.
Cisco CMS • Cisco CMS Software allows the user to manage up to 16 interconnected Cisco Catalyst
3550, 2950, 2950ST-LRE, 2955, 3500 XL, 2900 XL, and 2900 LRE XL switches without the
limitation of being physically located in the same wiring closet, and with the option of
using a single IP address for the entire cluster if desired. Full backward compatibility
ensures that any combination of the above switches can be managed with a Cisco Catalyst
2955 Series Switch.
• Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data) wizards use just a few user
inputs to automatically configure the switch to optimally handle different types of
traffic—voice, video, multicast, or high-priority data.
• A security wizard is provided to restrict unauthorized access to servers and networks, and
to restrict certain applications on the network.
• One-click software upgrades can be performed across the entire cluster simultaneously,
and configuration cloning enables rapid deployment of networks.
• Cisco CMS Software has been extended to include multilayer feature configurations such
as ACPs and QoS parameters.
• Cisco CMS Guide Mode assists users in the configurationof powerful advanced features by
providing step-by-step instructions.
• Cisco CMS provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive assistance.
• An easy-to-use graphical user interface provides both a topology map and a front-panel
view of the cluster.
• Multidevice and multiport configuration capabilities allow network administrators to save
time by configuring features across multiple switches and ports simultaneously.
• Cisco CMS offers the ability to launch the Web-based management for a Cisco Aironet
™
Wireless Access Point by simply clicking on its icon in the topology map.
• A user-personalized interface allows users to modify polling intervals, table views, and
other settings within Cisco CMS and to retain these settings the next time they use Cisco
CMS.
• Alarm notification provides automated e-mail notification of network errors and alarm
thresholds.
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, anda CLI-based managementconsole 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.
