Overview
Port trunking and link aggregation
Trunking
supports up to eight links per trunk to increase bandwidth and create redundant connections
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP)
eases configuration of trunks through automatic configuration
SmartLink
provides easy-to-configure link redundancy of active and standby links
Layer 2 switching
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs
VLAN support and tagging
supports IEEE 802.1Q (4,094 VLAN IDs) and 256 VLANs simultaneously
Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+)
allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree to improve link bandwidth usage in network environments with multiple
VLANs
Layer 3 routing
Static IP routing
provides manually configured routing; includes ECMP capability
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
provides RIPv1 and RIPv2 routi
Security
Access control lists (ACLs)
provide IP Layer 3 filtering based on source/destination IP address/subnet and source/destination TCP/UDP port number
Identity-driven ACL
enables implementation of a highly granular and flexible access security policy and VLAN assignment specific to each
authenticated network user
Source-port filtering
allows only specified ports to communicate with each other
RADIUS/TACACS+
eases switch management security administration by using a password authentication server
Secure protocols for encryption of management traffic
Secure Shell (SSHv2)
encrypts all transmitted data for secure, remote CLI access over IP networks
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
encrypts all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch
Secure FTP (SFTP)
encrypts uploads and downloads of configuration file
Port security
allows access only to specified MAC addresses, which can be learned or specified by the administrator
Dynamic IP lockdown
works with DHCP protection to block traffic from unauthorized hosts, preventing IP source address spoofing
DHCP protection
blocks DHCP packets from unauthorized DHCP servers, preventing denial-of-service attacks
Dynamic ARP protection
