Features and benefits

QoS
• IEEE 802.1p prioritization
Delivers data to devices, based on the priority and type of traffic
• Class of service (CoS)
Sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on the IP address, IP type of service (ToS), L3 protocol,
TCP/ user datagram protocol (UDP) port number, source port, and DiffServ
• Bandwidth shaping
– Port-based rate limiting
Enabled per-port ingress/egress-enforced bandwidth increase
– Classifier-based rate limiting
Uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on each
port
– Reduced bandwidth
Provides per-port per-queue egress-based bandwidth reduction
• Weighted random early detection (WRED)/random early detection
Delivers congestion avoidance capabilities through the use of queue management algorithms
• Powerful QoS feature
Provides support for these congestion actions: strict priority queuing, weighted round robin,
weighted fair queuing, and WRED
• Traffic policing
Supports committed access rate and line rate
Intrusion detection system (IDS)/intrusion prevention system (IPS)
• Deep packet inspection
Examines the packet payload as well as the frame and packet headers; packets are dropped
if attacks or intrusions are detected using signature-based or protocol-anomaly-based
detection
• Signature-based detection
Detects attacks that have known attack patterns; IPS maintains a signature database that
contains the pattern definitions for known attacks that can be updated automatically using a
subscription service
• Protocol anomaly-based detection
Detects attacks that use anomalies in application protocol payloads
• Severity-based action policies
Involve action taken against attacks based on their severity; the actions include "allow,"
"block," and "terminate connection" to provide appropriate mitigation
• Signature update service
Provides regular updates to the signature database, helping ensure that the latest available
signatures are installed
