Feature Benefit
Ease of Use and
Deployment
●
Express Setup simplifies initial configuration with a Web browser, eliminating the need for
more complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.
●
DHCP autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.
●
Autosensing on each 10/100 port detects the speed of the attached device and automatically
configures the port for 10- or 100-Mbps operation, easing switch deployment in mixed 10- and
100-Mbps environments.
●
Autonegotiating on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode
to optimize bandwidth.
●
Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) helps enable dynamic trunk configuration across all switch
ports.
●
Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel
®
groups or Gigabit EtherChannel groups to link 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 feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel
technology and PAgP.
●
DHCP Server enables a convenient deployment option for the assignment of IP addresses in
networks that do not have without a dedicated DHCP server.
●
DHCP Relay allows a DHCP relay agent to broadcast DHCP requests to the network DHCP
server.
●
1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, and 100BASE-FX physical interface support through a
field-replaceable SFP module provides flexibility in switch deployment.
●
The default configuration stored in flash memory helps ensure that the switch can be quickly
connected to the network and can pass traffic with minimal user intervention.
●
Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit
and receive pairs if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed on a
copper port.
●
Time-domain reflectometer (TDR) to diagnose and resolve cabling problems on copper ports.
●
Configuration Rollback provides the capability to replace the current running configuration with
any saved Cisco IOS Software configuration file. This functionality can be used to revert to a
previous configuration state, effectively rolling back any configuration changes that were
made since that configuration file was saved. (future)
●
DHCP Auto Install (Boot Host DHCP) and Auto Image Update allows the switch to
automatically download a configuration file and Cisco IOS Software image (future).
