C360 Features and Benefits
Issue 2 July 2005 21
Manageability
● SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) or TIME protocol for providing a consistent
timestamp to all switches from an external source. Refer to Network Time Acquiring
Protocols Parameter Configuration on page 99.
● In-band management access:
- C360 Device Manager with intuitive Web-based access. Refer to C360 Device
Manager on page 203 for further information.
- Up to five simultaneous Telnet connections for multiple CLI (Command Line
Interface)-based sessions over the network. Refer to Establishing a Telnet
Connection on page 67 for further information.
- Up to two simultaneous encrypted SSH (Secure Shell) connections for multiple
CLI-based sessions over the network. Refer to Establishing an SSH Connection
on
page 68 for further information.
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) "get" and "set" requests (support for
SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3). Refer to SNMP Support
on page 75 for further
information.
● Out-of-band management access through the switch console port to a directly attached
terminal or remote terminal via a serial connection or modem. Refer to Establishing a
Console Connection on page 64 and Establishing a Modem (PPP) Connection on page 73
for further information.
● Allowed managers to restrict access to a pre-defined list of IP addresses. Refer to Allowed
Managers on page 86 for further information.
● Software upgrades by TFTP. Refer to Firmware Download on page 223 for further
information.
● Configuration upload/download by TFTP and SCP. Refer to Uploading and Downloading
Device Configurations and Images on page 101 for further information.
● "Allowed protocols" allows you to selectively enable and disable the IP protocols. Refer to
Allowed Protocols
on page 88 for further information.
Redundancy
● IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for rapid convergence of the spanning
tree by immediately transitioning root and designated ports to the forwarding state.
- RSTP automatically detects switches that are configured as 802.1w Rapid Spanning
Tree or 802.1D Spanning Tree and operates accordingly. Refer to Spanning Tree
Protocol on page 131 for further information.
