The Octaplane stacking system provides 8 Gbps stacking bandwidth to all switches in the
●
stack.
C360 stacks continue to function even if one switch or link fails.
●
Switches in the stack can be added, removed, and replaced without disrupting operation.
●
An advanced election algorithm ensures optimal stack master selection.
●
Layer 2 features
Auto-sensing simplifies configuration of LAN connections by automatically selecting the
●
port speed for devices — either 10Mb or 100Mb.
Auto-negotiation simplifies configuration of LAN connections by automatically selecting the
●
port transmission mode for devices — either half- or full-duplex.
Auto-MDIX automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100-TX
●
ports.
Traffic prioritization (802.1p) allows real-time traffic classification into 8 priority levels
●
mapped to 4 queues.
There are four egress queues on all switch ports. The queues can be configured with the
●
WRR (Weighted Round Robin) or strict priority scheduling algorithm.
The use of the IEEE 802.1Q tagging for VLANs and per-port VLAN is supported.
●
Multiple VLANs per port allow access to shared resources by stations that belong to
●
different VLANs.
The use of the IEEE 802.1w standard for Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides
●
rapid convergence of the spanning tree in case of link failure.
The use of the IEEE 802.1x standard for port-based network security ensures that only
●
authorized clients get network access.
Up to 20 redundant-port pairs are supported to increase link resiliency.
●
Inter-module redundancy is supported with one pair in a stack. The switching time is
●
approximately 1 second.
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) support of up to 7 trunks, with each trunk having up to 8 10/
●
100 links or 2 GB links, provides resiliency, load balancing, and bandwidth expansion.
LAG redundancy is supported through resiliency between two LAG groups.
●
Port mirroring of any switch port is supported.
●
RMON/SMON port statistics provide real-time top-down analysis of network traffic.
●
IP multicast filtering (snooping) filters multicast traffic to optimize network bandwidth.
●
Classification of ports as regular or valuable is supported so that if a link fails, notification is
●
generated for valuable ports only.
The L2 CAM table contains 16K MAC addresses.
