Summary

About this Document

Organization

Describes the structure and organization of the document's content.

Additional Documentation

Lists related documents that provide further information on the switch software.

System Configuration

Traceroute

Explains how to discover network routes packets take to a destination.

Configuration Scripting

Allows generating, uploading, and applying text-formatted configuration scripts to switches.

Outbound Telnet

Establishes an outbound telnet connection between a device and a remote host.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

Synchronizes network resources and provides a consistent network timestamp.

Syslog

Allows storing system messages and/or errors on local or remote servers.

Port Description

Specifies an alphanumeric interface identifier for SNMP network management.

Storm Control

Protects against traffic storms by dropping excess broadcast, multicast, or unicast traffic.

Cable Test for Copper Ports

Determines cable connection status and characteristics using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR).

Switching Configuration

Virtual LANs

Partitions a network into logical segments, improving administration and security.

IP Subnet and MAC-Based VLANs

Determines VLAN membership based on host IP or MAC address, not port.

Private Edge VLANs

Prevents ports within a group from forwarding traffic to each other, enhancing security.

IGMP Snooping

Monitors IGMP transactions to conserve bandwidth by forwarding multicast traffic selectively.

IGMP Snooping Querier

Manages IGMP snooping functions on VLANs without requiring an IP multicast router.

Link Aggregation/Port Channels

Treats multiple physical links as a single logical link for increased bandwidth and reliability.

Port Mirroring

Selects network traffic from specific ports for analysis by a network analyzer.

Port Security

Limits the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a given port.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol

Allows interfaces to advertise capabilities and physical descriptions for network topology identification.

Denial of Service Attack Protection

Protects the network and switch against various types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

DHCP Filtering

Provides security by filtering untrusted DHCP messages to prevent unauthorized servers.

Port Aggregator

Minimizes administration for managing switch blades by mapping internal to external ports.

Simple Switch Mode Supported CLI Commands

Lists CLI commands available in Simple mode for Port Aggregator configuration.

Routing Configuration

VLAN Routing

Configures the switch to support routing between different VLANs.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol

Provides a backup routing mechanism using VRRP to eliminate single points of failure.

Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

Allows a router to answer ARP requests for destinations it can reach.

OSPF

Open Shortest Path First protocol for efficient routing in large and complex networks.

Routing Information Protocol

An interior gateway protocol used for exchanging network topology information.

Route Preferences

Controls how the router chooses routes by assigning administrative preference values.

Using Equal Cost Multipath

Allows the router to use multiple next hops for the same destination for load balancing.

Loopback Interfaces

Manages software-only interfaces for stable IP addressing and device management.

Device Security

802.1x Network Access Control

Controls port access by enforcing authentication of supplicants.

802.1X Authentication and VLANs

Assigns hosts to specific VLANs based on the results of 802.1X authentication.

Guest VLAN

Provides distinguished network service to unauthenticated users or visitors.

Authentication Server Filter Assignment

Allows external servers to assign DiffServ policies to authenticated users.

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Defines rules to permit or deny network access and control traffic flow.

MAC ACLs

Layer 2 ACLs used to inspect packet fields like MAC addresses and Ethertypes.

IP ACLs

Layer 3/4 ACLs used to classify and control inbound traffic based on IP and port information.

RADIUS

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service protocol for centralized authentication.

TACACS+

Terminal Access Controller Access Control System for networked device access control.

IPv6

Overview

Introduces IPv6 network operation, addresses, and packet formats.

Interface Configuration

Enables and configures IPv6 on physical and VLAN interfaces for routing.

DHCPv6

Assigns IP addresses, gateways, and other network definitions for IPv6 clients.

Quality of Service

Class of Service Queuing

Provides preferential traffic treatment by configuring ingress/egress ports and queues.

Ingress Port Configuration

Configures ports as trusted/untrusted and maps traffic to CoS queues.

Egress Port Configuration—Traffic Shaping

Specifies port shaping rates to control maximum transmission bandwidth.

Differentiated Services

Implements QoS policies by classifying traffic based on IP header information.

Multicast

Overview

Enables sending IP datagrams to multiple destinations simultaneously for efficient bandwidth use.

IGMP Configuration

Manages multicast group membership information for IPv4 hosts and routers.

IGMP Proxy

Enables learning membership and forwarding multicast packets without full multicast routing protocols.

DVMRP

Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol for constructing multicast distribution trees.

PIM

Protocol Independent Multicast for scalable inter-domain multicast routing.

PIM-DM

PIM Dense Mode protocol for efficient routing to densely distributed receivers.
