Table 1 Product Features and Benefits
Feature Benefit
Ease of Use and Ease
of Deployment
• Express Setup simplifies initial configuration via 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.
• AutoQoS simplifies QoS configuration in VoIP networks by issuing interface and global
switch commands to detect Cisco IP phones, classify traffic, and enable egress queue
configuration.
• Autosensing detects the speed of the attached device and automatically configures each
10/100/1000 port for 10-, 100-, or 1000-Mbps operation, easing switch deployment in
mixed 10, 100, and 1000BASE-T environments.
• Autonegotiating on 10/100/1000 ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex
transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.
• Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) enables 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.
• Auto-media-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and
receive pairs if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed on a
10/100/1000 port.
• IEEE 802.3z-compliant 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, and 1000BASE-T
physical interface support through a field-replaceable SFP module provides
unprecedented flexibility in switch deployment.
• DHCP Relay allows a DHCP relay agent to broadcast DHCP requests to the network DHCP
server.
• The default configuration stored in Flash memory ensures that the switch can be quickly
connected to the network and can pass traffic with minimal user intervention.
