Enhanced Performance (EP) technology:
-
Extended port density: to enhance system capabilities and overall investment protection
-
sFlow: (RFC 3176) wire-speed traffic accounting and monitoring
-
Jumbo frames: on Gigabit and 10-Gigabit ports allow high-performance remote backup and disaster recovery services
-
Increased on-board memory and flash capacity: for more robust management capabilities
-
10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE): simplify data center configurations and increase backbone throughput
-
Up to 345 million pps performance: provides the high performance required by large networks
-
Layer 4 prioritization: delivers QoS (quality of service) for delay-sensitive applications
-
IP/IPX/AppleTalk routing: provides routing of IP and IPX at media speed
-
IP multicast routing: provides IGMPv3, DVMRP, PIM dense, PIM sparse, and PIM snooping mode support in routed environments to control multicast traffic
-
Unparalleled security: protection against denial-of-service attacks; Secure Shell v2, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Copy, wire-speed rate limiting, and user authentication (with AAA, RADIUS, and TACACS+) prevent unauthorized network access and associated downtime
-
Policy-based VLANs: allow you to assign VLANs on a port, protocol, subnet, or IEEE 802.1Q tagged basis
-
Hardware-based wire-speed access control lists: feature-rich ACL implementation (selective ACL logging, scalability, and syntax compatibility) with enhanced editing capabilities ensures high levels of security and ease of administration without impacting network performance
-
Dynamic IP ACLs and MAC filters: provide an additional level of security via dynamic port configuration to 802.1X ports, based on user profile information sent by the Authentication Server
-
Port trunking: for higher switch-to-switch and switch-to-server throughput and link-level redundancy, with support for standards-based link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad)
-
Next-generation Spanning Tree functionality: single-instance STP, Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST), Per VLAN Group STP (PVGST), and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol based on IEEE 802.1w all provide improved availability and scalability for Spanning Tree-based networks
-
Software updates: free downloads from the Web
-
Optional redundant power supply: provides uninterrupted power for high availability
-
Hot-swappable chassis modules: allow you to swap modules without interrupting the network
-
Automatic routing switch failover: provides hot standby redundancy using standards-based VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) or SRP (Standby Routing Protocol)
-
Optional redundant management: provides automatic failover from the active management module to the standby management module for high availability
-
Full-featured console: provides complete control of the switch with a familiar command-line interface (CLI)
-
Web interface: allows you to configure the switch from any Web browser on the network
* Product highlighted is shown with optional modules. All products require a management module (ordered
separately)
