Layer 2 switching |
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) |
Standard 802.1d spanning tree support Fast convergence using 802.1w (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol [RSTP]), enabled by default Multiple spanning tree instances using 802.1s (MSTP); 8 instances are supported |
VLAN |
Support for up to 256 active VLANs simultaneously Port-based and 802.1Q tag-based VLANs Management VLAN Guest VLAN |
Voice VLAN |
Voice traffic is automatically assigned to a voice-specific VLAN and treated with appropriate levels of QoS. Auto voice capabilities deliver networkwide zero-touch deployment of voice endpoints and call control devices |
IGMP (versions 1, 2, and 3) snooping |
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) limits bandwidth-intensive multicast traffic to only the requesters; supports 4K multicast groups (source-specific multicasting is also supported) |
HOL blocking |
Head-Of-Line (HOL) blocking |
Loopback detection |
Provides protection against loops by transmitting loop protocol packets out of ports on which loop protection has been enabled. It operates independently of STP |
Layer 3 routing |
IPv4 routing |
Wire-speed routing of IPv4 packets Up to 32 static routes and up to 16 IP interfaces |
IPv6 routing |
Wire-speed routing of IPv6 packets |
Layer 3 interface |
Configuration of Layer 3 interface on physical port, LAG, VLAN interface, or loopback interface |
Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) |
Support for CIDR |
DHCP relay at Layer 3 |
Relay of DHCP traffic across IP domains |
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) relay |
Relay of broadcast information across Layer 3 domains for application discovery or relaying of bootP/DHCP packets |
Security |
SSL |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypts all HTTPS traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch |
Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol |
SSH is a secure replacement for Telnet traffic. Secure Copy (SCP) also uses SSH. SSH v1 and v2 are supported |
IEEE 802.1X (authenticator role) |
RADIUS authentication, guest VLAN, single/multiple host mode, and single/multiple sessions |
Secure Core Technology (SCT) |
Ensures that the switch will receive and process management and protocol traffic no matter how much traffic is received |
Port security |
Ability to lock source MAC addresses to ports and limit the number of learned MAC addresses |
Storm control |
Broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast |
DoS prevention |
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack prevention |
STP loopback guard |
Provides additional protection against Layer 2 forwarding loops (STP loops) |
Quality of service |
Priority levels |
8 hardware queues |
Scheduling |
Strict priority and Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queue assignment based on DSCP and class of service (802.1p/CoS) |
Class of service |
Port based; 802.1p VLAN priority based; IPv4/v6 IP precedence/Type of Service (ToS)/DSCP based; Differentiated Services (DiffServ); classification and re-marking ACLs, trusted QoS |
Rate limiting |
Ingress policer; egress shaping and rate control; per VLAN, per port, and flow based |
Congestion avoidance |
A TCP congestion avoidance algorithm is required to reduce and prevent global TCP loss synchronization |
