DHCP: Server (RFC 2131), Client, and Option-82 Relay (RFC 3046)
sFlow sFlow sFlow sFlow: provides scalable, ASIC-based network monitoring and accounting; this allows network operators to gather a variety of
sophisticated network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring purposes
SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 SNMPv1, v2c, and v3: facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
Network Time Protocol Network Time Protocol Network Time Protocol Network Time Protocol (NTP): synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps consistent
timekeeping among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based
on the consistent time

such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras
Medium Power over Ethernet Medium Power over Ethernet Medium Power over Ethernet Medium Power over Ethernet (PoE): supports a medium Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply, with each port providing up
to 30 W of output power
IPv6 native support IPv6 native support IPv6 native support IPv6 native support:
IPv6 host: enables switches to be managed and deployed at the IPv6 network's edge
Dual stack (IPv4/IPv6): transitions from IPv4 to IPv6, supporting connectivity for both protocols
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, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP routing protocols
