Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 and 3032 for Dell Software Configuration Guide
1-4
Adding, removing, and replacing switches in the stack without disrupting the operation of the
–
stack.
– Provisioning a new member for a switch stack with the offline configuration feature. You can
configure in advance the interface configuration for a specific stack member number and for a
specific switch type of a new switch that is not part of the stack. The switch stack retains this
information across stack reloads whether or not the provisioned switch is part of the stack.
Displaying stack-ring activity statistics (the number of frames sent by each stack member to the
–
ring).
Stack troubleshooting enhancements
Call Home to provide e-mail-based and web-based notification of critical system events. Users with
a service contract directly with Cisco Systems can register Call Home devices for the Cisco Smart
Call Home service that generates automatic service requests with the Cisco TAC.
Autosensing of port speed and autonegotiation of duplex mode on all switch ports for optimizing
bandwidth
Automatic-medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) capability on 10/100- and
10/100/1000-Mb/s interfaces and on 10/100/1000 BASE-TX SFP module interfaces that enables the
interface to automatically detect the required cable connection type (straight-through or crossover)
and to configure the connection appropriately
Support for the maximum packet size or maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for these types of
frames:
Up to 9216 bytes for routed frames
–
Up to 9216 bytes for frames that are bridged in hardware and software through Gigabit Ethernet
–
ports and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports
IEEE 802.3x flow control on all ports (the switch does not send pause frames)
Up to 64 Gb/s of throughput in a switch stack
EtherChannel for enhanced fault tolerance and for providing up to 8 Gb/s (Gigabit EtherChannel)
or 80 Gb/s (10-Gigabit EtherChannel) full-duplex bandwidth among switches, routers, and servers
Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for automatic
creation of EtherChannel links
Support for up to 64 EtherChannels
Forwarding of Layer 2 and Layer 3 packets at Gigabit line rate
Forwarding of Layer 2 and Layer 3 packets at Gigabit line rate across the switches in the stack
Per-port storm control for preventing broadcast, multicast, and unicast storms
Port blocking on forwarding unknown Layer 2 unknown unicast, multicast, and bridged broadcast
traffic
Protocol storm protection to control the rate of incoming protocol traffic to a switch by dropping
packets that exceed a specified ingress rate
Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) server support and Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) snooping for IGMP Versions 1, 2, and 3:
