●
Spanning Tree Root Guard (STRG) prevents edge devices not in the network
administrator’s control from becoming Spanning Tree Protocol root nodes.
●
IGMP filtering provides multicast authentication by filtering out nonsubscribers and limits
the number of concurrent multicast streams available per port.
●
Dynamic VLAN assignment is supported through implementation of VLAN Membership
Policy Server client capability to provide flexibility in assigning ports to VLANs. Dynamic
VLAN facilitates the fast assignment of IP addresses.
Intelligent Power over Ethernet (PoE) Management
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E PoE models support Cisco IP phones and Cisco Aironet wireless LAN
(WLAN) access points, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device. The Cisco Catalyst
3560-E-48PD can support 48 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at 15.4W with the 1150W
power supply.
●
Cisco Discovery Protocol version 2 allows the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switch to
negotiate a more granular power setting when connecting to a Cisco powered device, such
as IP phones or access points, than what is provided by IEEE classification.
●
Per Port power consumption command allows customer to specify maximum power setting
on an individual port.
●
Per Port PoE Power Sensing measures actual power being drawn, enabling more intelligent
control of powered devices.
●
The PoE MIB provides proactive visibility into power usage and allows customers to set
different power level thresholds
●
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP and LLDP-MED) adds support for IEEE 802.1AB link
layer discovery protocol for interoperability in multivendor networks. Switches exchange
speed, duplex, and power settings with end devices such as IP phones.
Management and Control Features
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switches come with a rich set of management and control
features that include:
●
Cisco IOS Software CLI support provides common user interface and command set with all
Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst desktop switches.
●
Generic On-Line Diagnostics (GOLD) checks the health of hardware components and
verifies proper operation of the system data and control plane at run time and boot time.
●
Virtual Route Forwarding (VRF)-Lite enables a service provider to support two or more
VPNs with overlapping IP addresses.
●
Switching Database Manager Templates for access, routing, and VLAN deployment allow
the administrator to easily maximize memory allocation to the desired features based on
deployment-specific requirements.
●
With Cisco IOS Software IP SLAs, users can verify service guarantees, increase network
reliability by validating network performance, proactively identify network issues, and
increase return on investment (ROI) by easing the deployment of new IP services.
●
Local Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) works in conjunction with Private VLAN
Edge to minimize broadcasts and maximize available bandwidth.
●
VLAN1 minimization allows VLAN1 to be disabled on any individual VLAN trunk.
