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

Chapter 1 Overview
Software Features
• Embedded event manager (EEM) for device and system management to monitor key system events
and then act on them though a policy.
• Support for EEM 3.2, which introduces event detectors for Neighbor Discovery, Identity, and
MAC-Address-Table.
• IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLAs) support to measure network performance by using active
traffic monitoring.
• IP SLAs EOT to use the output from IP SLAs tracking operations triggered by an action such as
latency, jitter, or packet loss for a standby router failover takeover.
• EOT and IP SLAs EOT static route support to identify when a preconfigured static route or a DHCP
route goes down.
• Support for the Built-in Traffic Simulator using Cisco IOS IP SLAs video operations to generate
synthetic traffic for a variety of video applications, such as Telepresence, IPTV and IP video
surveillance camera. You can use the simulator tool:
–
For network assessment before deploying applications that have stringent network performance
requirements.
–
Along with the Cisco Mediatrace for post-deployment troubleshooting for any network related
performance issues.
The traffic simulator includes a sophisticated scheduler that allows the user to run several tests
simultaneously or periodically and over extended time periods (supported only on switches running
the IP Base or IP Services feature set). For information, see the Configuring Cisco IOS IP SLAs
Video Operations document at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipsla/configuration/12-2se/Configuring_IP_SLAs_
Video_Operations.html
• Flexible NetFlow to monitor user-defined flows, collect flow statistics, perform per-flow policing
on uplink ports, and export the flow statistics to a collector device (supported only on the Catalyst
3750-X and 3560-X network services module running the IP Base or IP Services feature set)
• Cisco Medianet to enable intelligent services in the network infrastructure for a wide variety of
video applications. One of the services of Medianet is auto provisioning for Cisco Digital Media
Players and Cisco IP Video Surveillance cameras through Auto Smartports.
• Cisco Mediatrace and performance monitor
–
Cisco Mediatrace to troubleshoot and isolate network or application issues in traffic streams. It
helps drill down to analyze one-way delay, one-way packet loss, one-way jitter, and connectivity
in IPv4 networks that carry video traffic. This tool can be used for any UDP-based video or
non-video traffic stream (supported only on switches running the IP Base or IP Services feature
set).

m_15_1m_and_t.html
–
Cisco Application Performance Monitor to track the video packet flow and to troubleshoot and
isolate performance degradation in traffic streams. You can use the performance monitor for
both video and nonvideo traffic (supported only on switches running the IP Base or IP Services
feature set).
