QuickSpecs
Overview
allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-
time network monitoring purposes
Complete session logging
provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution
Remote configuration and management
enables configuration and management through a secure Web browser or a CLI located on a remote device
Manager and operator privilege levels
provides read-only (operator) and read/write (manager) access on CLI and Web browser management interfaces
Management VLAN
segments traffic to and from management interfaces, including CLI/telnet, a Web browser interface, and SNMP
Command authorization
leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login; an audit trail documents
activity
Secure web GUI
provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS
SNMPv1, v2c, and v3
facilitate centralized discovery, monitoring, and secure management of networking devices
Remote monitoring (RMON)
uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private
alarm extension group
Remote intelligent mirroring
mirrors ingress/egress ACL-selected traffic from a switch port or VLAN to a local or remote switch port anywhere on the network
In-service software upgrade (ISSU)
enables operators to perform upgrades in the shortest possible amount of time with minimal risk to network operations or
traffic disruptions
Connectivity
Auto-MDIX
provides automatic adjustments for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports
Packet storm protection
protects against broadcast, multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds
Ethernet operations, administration and maintenance (OAM)
detects data link layer problems that occurred in the "last mile" using the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard; monitors the status of the
link between two devices
Flow control
provides back pressure using standard IEEE 802.3x, reducing congestion in heavy traffic situations
Fixed 10GbE ports
provides two fixed SFP+ ports for a 20 GbE connection to the network without the need for additional extension interface
modules
Optional 10GbE ports
deliver, through the use of optional modules, additional 10GbE connections, which are available for uplinks or high-bandwidth
server connections; flexibly support copper, XFP, SFP+, or CX4 local connections
Optional 8-port SFP module
adds up to eight additional wirespeed Gigabit Ethernet ports for unprecedented Gigabit density in a single 1U enclosure
Jumbo packet support
supports up to 12288-byte frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers
High-bandwidth CX4 local stacking
achieves 12 Gbps per connection when using local CX4 stacking, allowing for up to 96 Gbps total stacking bandwidth (full duplex)
in a resilient stacking configuration
