Product Description

The switch can have multiple IP addresses and can be configured either on a port, a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), or a loopback interface. If a switch does not have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server then the IP address needs to be assigned statically. The switch routes traffic between the directly-attached IP subnets configured on the device and continues to bridge traffic between devices in the same VLAN. Traffic is routed by the device in layer 3 mode.

Features:

• Simple-to-use graphical interfaces reduce the time required to deploy, troubleshoot, and manage the network and allow you to support sophisticated capabilities without increasing IT head count.

• The switches also support Textview, a full command-line interface (CLI) option for partners that prefer it.

• Using Auto Smartports intelligence, the switch can detect a network device connected to any port and automatically configure the optimal security, quality of service (QoS), and availability on that port.

• Cisco Discovery Protocol discovers Cisco devices and allows devices to share critical configuration information, simplifying network setup and integration.

• Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows you to set up and manage your switches and other Cisco devices remotely from a network management station, improving IT workflow and mass configurations.

• The Cisco FindIT utility, which works through a simple toolbar on the user’s web browser, discovers Cisco devices in the network and displays basic information, such as serial numbers and IP addresses, to aid in configuration and deployment.
