networkwide zero-touch deployment of voice endpoints and call control
devices. |
IGMP (versions 1, 2, and 3) snooping |

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypts all HTTPS traffic, allowing secure
access to the browser-based management GUI in the
switch. |

RADIUS authentication, MD5 hash, single/multiple host mode, and
single/multiple sessions. |
Secure Sensitive Data (SSD) |
A mechanism to manage sensitive data (such as passwords, keys, and so
on) securely on the switch, populating this data to other devices, and
secure autoconfig. Access to view the sensitive data as plaintext or
encrypted is provided according to the user-configured access level and
the access method of the user. |
Port security |
Ability to lock source MAC addresses to ports and limit the number of
learned MAC addresses. |
RADIUS |

Remote monitoring (RMON) |
Embedded RMON software agent supports 4 RMON groups (history,
statistics, alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic management,
monitoring, and analysis |
IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack |
Coexistence of both protocol stacks to ease
migration |
Firmware upgrade |
Web browser upgrade (HTTP/HTTPS) and TFTP and SCP |
Port mirroring |
Traffic on a port can be mirrored to another port for analysis with a
network analyzer or RMON probe. Up to 4 source ports can be mirrored to
one destination port. |
VLAN mirroring |
Traffic from a VLAN can be mirrored to a port for analysis with a
network analyzer or RMON probe. Up to 4 source VLANs can be mirrored to
one destination port. |
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) (options 12, 66, 67, 129,
and 150) |
DHCP options facilitate tighter control from a central point (DHCP
server), to obtain IP address, autoconfiguration (with configuration file
download), DHCP Relay, and host name. |
Autoconfiguration |
Enables mass deployment with protection of sensitive
data. |
Text-editable configs |
Config files can be edited with a text editor and downloaded to another
switch, facilitating easier mass deployment. |
Smartports |
Simplified configuration of QoS and security
capabilities. |
Auto Smartports |
Automatically applies the intelligence delivered through the Smartports
roles to the port based on the devices discovered over Cisco Discovery
Protocol or LLDP-MED. This facilitates zero-touch
deployments. |
Cloud services |
Support for Cisco Active Advisor |
Localization |
Localization of GUI and documentation into multiple
languages |
Login banner |
Configurable multiple banners for web as well as
CLI |
Other management |
Traceroute; single IP management; HTTP/HTTPS; RADIUS; port mirroring;
TFTP upgrade; DHCP client; Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP); cable
diagnostics; Ping; syslog; automatic time settings from Management
Station. |
Green (Power Efficiency) |
Energy detect |
Automatically turns power off on RJ-45 port when detecting link down.
Active mode is resumed without loss of any packets when the switch detects
the link is up. |
Cable length detection |
Adjusts the signal strength based on the cable length. Reduces the
power consumption for shorter cables. |
EEE compliant (802.3az) |
Supports IEEE 802.3az on all copper Gigabit Ethernet
ports. |
Disable port LEDs |
LEDs can be manually turned off to save on energy. |
General |
Jumbo frames |
Frame sizes up to 9K bytes. The default MTU is 2K
bytes. |
MAC table |
8K addresses. |
Discovery |
Bonjour |
The switch advertises itself using the Bonjour
protocol. |
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) (802.1ab) with LLDP-MED
extensions |
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows the switch to advertise its
identification, configuration, and capabilities to neighboring devices
that store the data in a MIB. LLDP-MED is an enhancement to LLDP that adds
the extensions needed for IP phones. |
Cisco Discovery Protocol |
The switch advertises itself using the Cisco Discovery Protocol. It
also learns the connected device and its characteristics using Cisco
Discovery Protocol. |
Auto Smartports |
Automatically applies the intelligence delivered through the Smartports
roles to the port based on the devices discovered over Cisco Discovery
Protocol or LLDP-MED. This capability facilitates zero-touch
deployments. |
Product Specifications |
802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE delivered over any of the RJ-45 ports
within the listed power budgets |
The following switches support 802.3at PoE+, 802.3af, and Cisco
prestandard (legacy) PoE. Maximum power of 30.0W to any 10/100 or Gigabit
Ethernet port, until the PoE budget for the switch is reached. The total
power available for PoE per switch is as follows: |

PoE powered device (PD) and PoE pass-through |
Besides AC power, compact switch models can work as PoE powered device
(PD) and be powered by PoE switches connected to the uplink ports. The
switch can also pass through the power to downstream PoE end devices if
required. |
Maximum of 60W can be drawn per uplink port if the peer PoE switch
supports 60W PoE. When multiple uplink ports are connected to PoE
switches, the power drawn from these ports is
combined. |
|
When AC power is connected and functioning correctly, it is preferred
over PoE power. The PoE power can function as a backup to the AC power
source or be used as the sole power source for the
switch. |
