Efficient Switch Operation
Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Series Switches, designed and engineered by Cisco, provide optimum power
saving, low power operations for industry best-in-class power management, and power consumption capabilities.
The Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X ports are capable of reduced power modes so that ports not in use can
move into a lower power utilization state.
StackPower lets customers to simply add one extra power supply in any switch of the stack and provide either
power redundancy for any of the stack members or simply add more power to the shared pool.
Intelligent Power over Ethernet Management
The Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Series PoE models support Cisco IP phones and Cisco Aironet WLAN
access points providing up to 30W of power per port, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device.
●
Cisco Discovery Protocol Version 2 allows the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Series Switches 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 customers 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.
Ease of Operations
The Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X help reduce the operating costs through:
●
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations
●
Easy to use deployment and control features
●
Advanced, intelligent network management tools
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations is a comprehensive set of capabilities that simplify LAN deployment,
configuration, and troubleshooting. In addition to adaptive, always on technologies such as StackWise and
StackPower, Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations enable zero touch installation and replacement of switches, fast
upgrade, as well as ease of troubleshooting with reduced operational cost. Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations is a
set of features that includes Smart Install, auto Smartports, Smart Configuration. and Smart Troubleshooting to
enhance operational excellence:
●
Cisco Smart Install is a transparent plug and play technology to configure the Cisco IOS Software image
and switch configuration without user intervention. Smart Install utilizes dynamic IP address allocation and
the assistance of other switches to facilitate installation providing transparent network plug and play.
●
Cisco Auto Smartports provide automatic configuration as devices connect to the switch port, allowing
auto detection and plug and play of the device onto the network.
