Switching Database Manager (SDM) templates for access, routing, and VLAN deployment allow the
●
administrator to easily maximize memory allocation to the desired features based on deployment-specific
requirements.
Local Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) works in conjunction with Private VLAN Edge to minimize
●
broadcasts and maximize available bandwidth.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping for IPv4 and IPv6 MLD v1 and v2 Snooping
●
provide fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limit bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the
requestors.
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) continuously sends multicast streams in a multicast VLAN while
●
isolating the streams from subscriber VLANs for bandwidth and security reasons.
Per-port Broadcast, Multicast, and Unicast Storm Control prevents faulty end stations from degrading
●
overall systems performance.
Voice VLAN simplifies telephony installations by keeping voice traffic on a separate VLAN for easier
●
administration and troubleshooting.
Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across all
●
switches.
Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN) allows administrators to remotely monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch
●
network from any other switch in the same network.
For enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis, the Embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON)
●
software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events).
Layer 2 Traceroute eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet takes from source to
●
destination.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading
●
from a centralized location.
Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all intranet switches.

Advanced, Intelligent Network Management Tools
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches offer both a superior CLI for detailed configuration and Cisco
Network Assistant software, a PC-based tool for quick configuration based on preset templates. In addition,
CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) supports the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches for
networkwide management.
Cisco Network Assistant
A PC-based network management application designed for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networks with
up to 250 users, Cisco Network Assistant offers centralized network management and configuration capabilities.
Cisco Network Assistant uses Cisco Smartports technology to simplify both initial deployment and ongoing
maintenance. This application also features an intuitive GUI where users can easily apply common services across
Cisco switches, routers, and access points, such as:
Configuration management
●
Troubleshooting advice
●
Inventory reports
●
Event notification
●
Network security settings
●
Password synchronization
