OL-23400-01
IGMP throttling for configuring the action when the maximum number of entries is in the IGMP
forwarding table
IGMP configurable leave timer to configure the leave latency for the network.
RADIUS server load balancing to allow access and authentication requests to be distributed evenly
across a server group.
CLI—The Cisco IOS software supports desktop- and multilayer-switching features. You can access
the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using
Telnet from a remote management station. For more information about the CLI, see
"Using the Command-Line Interface."
Cisco Configuration Engine—The Cisco Configuration Engine is a network management device that
works with embedded Cisco IOS CNS Agents in the switch software. You can automate initial
configurations and configuration updates by generating switch-specific configuration changes,
sending them to the switch, executing the configuration change, and logging the results. For more
information about using Cisco IOS agents, see
Engine."
SNMP—SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks2000 LAN Management Suite (LMS)
and HP OpenView. You can manage from an SNMP-compatible management station that is running
platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of
MIB extensions and four remote monitoring (RMON) groups. For more information about using
SNMP, see Chapter 25, "Configuring SNMP."
Support for synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) to synchronize and send clock information to remote
sites on the network for the same clock accuracy, stability, and traceability in the network.
Support for Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs), conceptual service pipes for point-to-point or
multipoint-to-multipoint paths within the service provider network, for bridge domains, and for
Ethernet Flow Points (EFPs) logical interfaces that connect bridge domains to a physical ports in a
switch. Some software features are supported on ports only or on EFPs only.
Support for DHCP for configuration of switch information (such as IP address, default gateway,
hostname, and Domain Name System [DNS] and TFTP server names)
DHCP relay for forwarding User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts, including IP address
requests, from DHCP clients
DHCP server for automatic assignment of IP addresses and other DHCP options to IP hosts
DHCP-based autoconfiguration and image update to download a specified configuration a new
image to a large number of switches
DHCP server port-based address allocation for the preassignment of an IP address to a switch port
