QuickSpecs
Overview
IPv6 host
enables switches to be managed and deployed at the IPv6 network's edge
Dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6)
transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both protocols
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping
forwards IPv6 multicast traffic to the appropriate interface
IPv6 ACL/QoS
supports ACL and QoS for IPv6 network traffic, preventing traffic flooding
IPv6 routing
supports IPv6 static routes and IPv6 versions of RIP and OSPF routing protocols
Security
Control Plane Policing (CoPP)
provides protection against DoS attacks at infrastructure routers and switches and ease of configuration for control plane
policies
IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS network logins
control port-based access for authentication and accountability
Secure FTP
allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or unauthorized copying of a switch
configuration file
Switch management logon security
can require either RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication for secure switch CLI logon
DHCP protection
blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
Dynamic ARP protection
blocks ARP broadcasts from unauthorized hosts, preventing eavesdropping or theft of network data
Secure Shell (SSHv2)
encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote CLI access over IP networks
Secure management access
securely encrypts all access methods (CLI, GUI, or MIB) through SSHv2 and SNMPv3
Access control lists (ACLs)
provide IPv4 and IPv6 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number
Media access control (MAC) authentication
provides simple authentication based on a user's MAC address; supports local or RADIUS-based authentication
Convergence
Layer 2, 3, and 4 QoS mechanisms
support DiffServ priority tagging based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, and
source port
IP multicast snooping and data-driven IGMP
automatically prevent flooding of IP multicast traffic
LLDP-MED
is a standard extension that automatically configures network devices, including LLDP-capable IP phones
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
is used by IP hosts to establish and maintain multicast groups; supports IGMPv1, v2, and v3; utilizes Any-Source Multicast (ASM)
or Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) to manage IPv4 multicast networks
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
is used for IPv4 and IPv6 multicast applications; supports PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM), Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), and Source-Specific
