Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Switch Software Configuration Guide

OL-25303-03

Chapter 1 Overview

Software Features

• IP Services feature set—Provides a richer set of enterprise-class intelligent services and full IPv6

support. It includes all IP Base features plus full Layer 3 routing (IP unicast routing, IP multicast

routing, and fallback bridging). The IP Services feature set includes protocols such as the Enhanced

Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol. This

feature set also supports all IP Service features with IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACLs and Multicast

Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping.

Note Unless otherwise noted, all features described in this chapter and in this guide are supported on

all feature sets.

The switch has these features:

• Deployment Features, page 1-2

• Performance Features, page 1-4

• Management Options, page 1-6

• Manageability Features, page 1-7

• Availability and Redundancy Features, page 1-9

• VLAN Features, page 1-10

• Security Features, page 1-10)

• QoS and CoS Features, page 1-15

• Layer 3 Features, page 1-16

• Power over Ethernet Features, page 1-17

•

Deployment Features

• Express Setup for quickly configuring a switch for the first time with basic IP information, contact

information, switch and Telnet passwords, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

information through a browser-based program. For more information about Express Setup, see the

getting started guide.

• User-defined and Cisco-default Smartports macros for creating custom switch configurations for

simplified deployment across the network.

• Auto Smartports Cisco-default and user-defined macros for dynamic port configuration based on the

device type detected on the port.

• AutoSmartport enhancements, which add support for global macros, last-resort macros, event

trigger control, access points, EtherChannels, auto-QoS with Cisco Medianet, and IP phones.

• AutoSmartPort enhancements in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE, which adds support for macro

persistency, LLDP-based triggers, MAC address and OUI-based triggers, remote macros as well as

for automatic configuration based on these two new device types: Cisco Digital Media Player (Cisco

DMP) and Cisco IP Video Surveillance Camera (Cisco IPVSC).

• AutoSmartports enhancement to enable auto-QoS on a CDP-capable Cisco digital media player.

• Auto Smartport features in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)SE with improved device classification

capabilities and accuracy, increased device visibility, and enhanced macro management. The device

classifier is enabled by default, and can classify devices based on DHCP options.

• IP Base feature set—Provides Layer 2+ and basic Layer 3 features (enterprise-class intelligent

services). These features include access ACLs, QoS, static routing, EIGRP stub routing, PIM stub

routing, the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and basic

IPv6 management.
