Summary

Time Protocols

SNTP time synchronization

Explains SNTP operating modes: Broadcast, DHCP, and Unicast, for time synchronization.

NTP time synchronization

Details NTP's role in synchronizing time across distributed servers and clients for event correlation.

Selecting a time synchronization protocol

Outlines the procedure to select and enable a time synchronization protocol like TimeP, SNTP, or NTP.

SNTP client authentication

Enables validation of SNTP messages from servers before updating network time, enhancing security.

Configuring the key-identifier, authentication mode, and key-value (CLI)

Command to configure key-id, authentication mode (MD5), and key-value for SNTP authentication.

Configuring unicast and broadcast mode for authentication

Steps to configure unicast or broadcast mode for SNTP authentication and change between modes.

SNTP unicast time polling with multiple SNTP servers

How the switch requests time updates from multiple SNTP servers when unicast time polling is enabled.

Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Explains NTP, its use of UDP, strata, and security features like encrypted authentication.

ntp authentication

Command used for authentication of NTP server by the NTP client.

ntp server

Command used to configure NTP servers, including IP address, key, and polling intervals.

Port Status and Configuration

Viewing port status and configuring port parameters

Guides on viewing port status and configuring parameters like speed, duplex, and flow control.

Uni-directional link detection (UDLD)

Monitors link state between switches, blocking ports if link fails to ensure bidirectional traffic.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Operation

Planning and implementing a PoE configuration

Overview of considerations for planning a PoE application, including port assignments, security, and power requirements.

Power priority operation

Details how power allocation is prioritized when PD demand exceeds available power.

Configuring PoE operation

CLI commands for enabling/disabling PoE, setting priority, and configuring thresholds.

PoE/PoE+ allocation using LLDP information

How LLDP information can be used for automatic power configuration based on PD capabilities.

Port Trunking

Trunk configuration methods

Covers methods for configuring trunks, including Dynamic LACP and Static trunks.

Dynamic LACP trunk

Details how the switch automatically negotiates trunked links using LACP active or passive modes.

Trunk group operation using LACP

How the switch automatically or manually configures dynamic or static LACP trunk groups.

Port Traffic Controls

All traffic rate-limiting

Controls traffic rate on a per-port basis for inbound or outbound traffic, dropping excess traffic.

Fault Finder

Feature to help debug network activity like link flaps or transceiver issues, and troubleshoot multicast or broadcast storms.

Configuring for Network Management Applications

SNMPv3 access to the switch

Steps for configuring SNMPv3 access, including enabling, user setup, communities, and trap receivers.

SNMPv3 users

Procedure for configuring SNMPv3 users and assigning them to different security groups for access levels.

SNMPv3 communities

How SNMPv3 communities are mapped to Group Access Levels for version 2c or version 1 access.

File Transfers

Using TFTP to download software from a server

Procedure for downloading switch software using the TFTP protocol.

Using SCP and SFTP

Using secure methods like SCP and SFTP via SSH tunnel for file transfers, offering encryption and authentication.

Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation

Configuring local mirroring

Steps to configure a local mirroring session to monitor traffic on a specific port or VLAN.

Troubleshooting

Configuration backup and restore without reboot

cfg-restore

Restores a given configuration as the running configuration without reboot.

IP Service Level Agreement

Configuration commands

Lists commands for configuring various IP SLA parameters like clearing history, setting thresholds, and scheduling tests.

UDP Jitter and Jitter for VoIP

Details UDP Jitter and UDP Jitter for VoIP SLA types for assessing network suitability for voice/video traffic.

Dynamic Segmentation

Port-Based Tunneling

Allows tunneling traffic to a Mobility Controller on a per-port basis for policy enforcement.

User-Based Tunneling

Enables tunneling specific client traffic based on user roles for centralized policy and authentication.

Virtual Switching Framework (VSF)

Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)
