Switching/VLAN services - provides high performance connectivity,
aggregation, and rapid recovery services
• Extensive industry standards compliance (IEEE and IETF)
• Inbound and outbound bandwidth rate control per flow
• VLAN services support
− Link aggregation (IEEE 802.1AX-2008/802.3ad)
− Multiple spanning trees (IEEE 802.1s)
− Rapid reconfiguration of spanning tree (IEEE 802.1w)
• Provider Bridges (IEEE 802.1ad), Q-in-Q Ready
• Flow setup throttling
Distributed IP Routing - provides dynamic traffic optimization, broadcast
containment, and more efficient network resilience
• Standard routing features include static routes, OSPFv2, RIPv2, IPv4, and Multicast routing support (DVMRP, IGMP v1/v2/v3, PIM-SM), Policy
Based Routing and Route Maps, and VRRP
• Extended ACLs
• S150 class I/O Modules and I/O fabric modules include all standard IP routing features and also include the following features:
− NAT (Network Address Translation)
− LSNAT (Load sharing Network Address Translation) for server load balancing
− TWCB (Transparent Web Cache Balancing) redirects web page requests to local web cache servers to efficiently manage web access bandwidth and
increase web page response time
• S155 class fabric modules have all the standard IP routing features and deliver a hardware upgrade to enhance protocol capacities including:
− BGP: Larger route tables (Multiple copies of internet tables)
− Enhanced queuing
− Virtual Switch Bonding
Security (User, Network, and Management)
• User security
− Authentication (802.1X, MAC and PWA+, CEP), MAC (Static and Dynamic) port locking
− Multi-user authentication/policies
• Network security
− Access Control Lists (ACL) – basic and extended
− Policy-based security services (examples: spoofing, unsupported protocol access, intrusion prevention, DoS attacks limits)
• Management Security
− Secure access to the S-Series via SSH, SNMP v3
Management, Control, and Analysis - provide streamlined tools
for maintaining network availability and health
• Configuration
− Industry-standard CLI and web management support
− Multiple firmware images with editable configuration files
• Network Analysis
− SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON (9 groups), and SMON (rfc2613) VLAN and Stats
− Port/VLAN mirroring (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many)
− Unsampled NetFlow on every port with no impact on system switching and routing performance
• Automated set-up and reconfiguration
− Replacement I/O module will automatically inherit previous modules configuration
– New modules added to chassis will automatically be updated with active configuration and firmware
