Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that
●
conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.
Automatic media-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs if
●
an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed.
Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links caused by
●
incorrect fiber-optic wiring or port faults to be detected and disabled on fiber-optic interfaces.
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.
VLAN1 minimization allows VLAN1 to be disabled on any individual VLAN trunk.
●
Smart Multicast, with Cisco StackWise Plus technology, allows the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Series to offer
●
greater efficiency and support for more multicast data streams such as video by putting each data packet
onto the backplane only once.
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 3750-X and 3560-X 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 3750-X and 3560-X Series Switches for
networkwide management.
