peak times the client devices may use sleep or hibernate modes. At this time the network interface can be
completely inactive and able to be woken on demand by remote request.
Prior to the EEE standard, it was a common practice for client devices such as personal computers and servers to
save power during sleep states by renegotiating the Ethernet link to a lower speed. With EEE capability, PCs and
other “sleep oriented” devices can achieve power savings similar to the speed downshift while allowing a much
faster transition back to the active state. Faster link wake time improves the user’s experience by allowing a faster
transition for the client device from the sleep to active and connected state.
Cisco Catalyst 3750-X/3560-X series switches support EEE on the UPOE models.
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.
●
Cisco Smart Configuration provides a single point of management for a group of switches and in addition
adds the ability to archive and backup configuration files to a file server or switch allowing seamless zero
touch switch replacement.
●
Cisco Smart Troubleshooting is an extensive array of debug diagnostic commands and system health
checks within the switch, including Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD) and Onboard Failure Logging
(OBFL).
Easy to Use Deployment and Control Features
●
Embedded Event Manager (EEM) is a powerful and flexible feature that provides real-time network event
detection and onboard automation. Using EEM, customers can adapt the behavior of their network devices
to align with their business needs. This feature requires IP Base feature set.
●
IP service-level agreements (SLAs) enable customers to assure new business-critical IP applications, as
well as IP services that utilize data, voice, and video, in an IP network. This feature requires IP Services
feature set.
