Chapter 1 Overview
Features
• Support for CDP and LLDP enhancements for exchanging location information with video end
points for dynamic location-based content distribution from servers
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 4 for NTP time synchronization for both IPv4 and IPv6
• Cisco IOS File System (IFS) for providing a single interface to all file systems that the switch uses
• Configuration logging to log and to view changes to the switch configuration
• Unique device identifier to provide product identification information through a show inventory
user EXEC command display
• In-band management access through the device manager over a Netscape Navigator or Microsoft
Internet Explorer browser session
• In-band management access for up to 16 simultaneous Telnet connections for multiple CLI-based
sessions over the network
• In-band management access for up to five simultaneous, encrypted Secure Shell (SSH) connections
for multiple CLI-based sessions over the network
• Support for SSH for IPv6.
• Support for IPv6 Host on the LAN Base and LAN Lite image (Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S).
• In-band management access through SNMP Versions 1, 2c, and 3 get and set requests
• Out-of-band management access through the switch console port to a directly attached terminal or

• The HTTP client in Cisco IOS supports can send requests to both IPv4 and IPv6 HTTP server, and
the HTTP server in Cisco IOS can service HTTP requests from both IPv4 and IPv6 HTTP clients
• Simple Network and Management Protocol (SNMP) can be configured over IPv6 transport so that
an IPv6 host can send SNMP queries and receive SNMP notifications from a device running IPv6
• IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration to manage link, subnet, and site addressing changes, such as
management of host and mobile IP addresses
• Disabling MAC address learning on a VLAN
• DHCP server port-based address allocation for the preassignment of an IP address to a switch port.
• Wired location service sends location and attachment tracking information for connected devices to
a Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE)
Note To use wired location, the switch must be running the LAN Base image.
• CPU utilization threshold trap monitors CPU utilization
Note To use CPU utilization, the switch must be running the LAN Base image.
