This guide is for the networking professional managing the Catalyst 3750 Metro switch, hereafter
referred to as the switch. Before using this guide, you should have experience working with the Cisco

Purpose
The Catalyst 3750 Metro switch supports a set of service-provider features, including multiprotocol label
switching (MPLS), Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS), hierarchical QoS, hierarchical virtual private LAN
switching (H-VPLS), 802.1Q tunneling, and VLAN mapping. It also supports Layer 2+ features such as
access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS) and Layer 3 features such as IP unicast routing, IP
multicast routing, and fallback bridging.
This guide provides procedures for using the commands that have been created or changed for use with
