Device View

Provides a Java applet to view switch ports and navigate configuration options.

SNMP

Explains configuration for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1/v2 and v3.

LLDP

Details Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and LLDP-MED configuration for network topology discovery.

Services—DHCP Snooping

Configures DHCP snooping for network security by filtering untrusted DHCP messages.

Chapter 3 Switching

Ports

Views and monitors physical port information and configures global and port-specific settings.

LAG

Configures Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) to combine links for increased fault tolerance and load sharing.

VLAN

Defines Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) to segment the network and improve management.

Voice VLAN

Configures Voice VLAN settings to prioritize voice traffic and ensure quality for IP phones.

Auto-VoIP Configuration

Prioritizes time-sensitive voice traffic over data traffic for VoIP protocols.

Spanning Tree Protocol

Provides a tree topology to prevent network loops and ensure a single path between end stations.

Multicast

Manages multicast traffic forwarding and IGMP/MLD snooping for efficient network resource usage.

Address Table

Displays unicast entries for forwarding and filtering information, used for transparent bridging.

Chapter 4 Routing

IP

Configures IP routing parameters, including mode and MTU settings for packet forwarding.

VLAN

Enables and configures VLAN routing interfaces, assigning IP addresses and subnet masks.

Routing Table

Configures static and default routes, and views learned routes for network traffic management.

ARP

IPv6

Configures IPv6 routing parameters, including global settings, addresses, and prefix information.

Chapter 5 Quality of Service

CoS

Configures Class of Service (CoS) queueing to prioritize network traffic based on defined criteria.

Differentiated Services (DiffServ)

Classifies traffic into streams and applies QoS treatment based on per-hop behaviors.

Chapter 6 Security

Management Security Settings

Configures login password, RADIUS, TACACS+, and authentication lists for secure management access.

Access

Configures HTTP and HTTPS access, access control profiles, and rules for management interface security.

Port Authentication
