IPv6 Layer 3 functions:
IPv6 host management
IPv6 forwarding
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for router redundancy
Static routes
Routing protocols (BGP)
Policy-based routing (PBR)
DHCP Relay
DNS client
Virtualization:
Virtual link aggregation groups (vLAGs)
Two switches (vLAG peers) act as a single virtual entity for a multi-port aggregation
vLAG Peer Gateway for improved usage of the link between the vLAG peers
Two-tier vLAGs with VRRP enables active/active VRRP to reduce routing latency
Network Policy Agent gives increased visibility of the virtual infrastructure and automates
VM-aware network provisioning and configuration updates for VLANs, virtual NICs, virtual
networks, ACLs, and QoS based on the VM associations in a hyperconverged Nutanix
environment (requires the AHV and software version 5.0.2 or higher).
Converged Enhanced Ethernet:
Priority-Based Flow Control (PFC) (IEEE 802.1Qbb) extends 802.3x flow control to allow the
switch to pause traffic that is based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.
Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) (IEEE 802.1Qaz) provides a method for allocating link
bandwidth that is based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.
Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX) (IEEE 802.1AB) allows
neighboring network devices to exchange information about their capabilities.
Monitoring:
Switch LEDs for port status and switch status indication
Port mirroring for analyzing network traffic passing through switch
Change tracking and remote logging with syslog feature
Telemetry agent for real-time analytics: Buffer statistics and congestion drop counters
Manageability:
Industry-standard command line interface (isCLI)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP V1, V2, and V3)
Telnet interface for CLI
Secure Shell (SSH) v1 and v2 for CLI
Secure Copy (SCP) for uploading and downloading the configuration file via secure channels
Service Location Protocol (SLP)
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for discovering network devices
Serial interface for CLI
Scriptable CLI
Dual software images
Firmware image update via TFTP, FTP, Secure FTP (sFTP), or USB storage
Network Time Protocol (NTP) for switch clock synchronization
Lenovo XClarity (optional; sold separately) for discovery, inventory, monitoring and events
Third-party tools integration
Lenovo Networking Content Pack for VMware vRealize Log Insight (optional
download) for automated log management
Integration with Nutanix Prism management via Network Policy Agent
Lenovo Networking Neutron Plugin to automate VLAN provisioning and configuration
updates for OpenStack-based cloud environments
Integration with Ansible management
Ganglia plug-in for telemetry data analytics
