Features and benefits

Quality of Service (QoS)
• Broadcast control
allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic
• Advanced classifier-based QoS
classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies
QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a port, VLAN, or
whole switch
• Powerful QoS feature
supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin
(WRR), and SP+WRR
• Traffic policing
supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
Management
• Friendly port names
allows assignment of descriptive names to ports
• 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
• Command authorization
leverages HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network
administrator's login; also provides an audit trail
• Secure Web GUI
provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS
• Multiple configuration files
stores easily to the flash image
• Complete session logging
provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution
• 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
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network,
facilitating easy mapping by network management applications
• sFlow (RFC 3176)
provides scalable ASIC-based wirespeed network monitoring and accounting with no impact
on network performance; this allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated
network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring
purposes
• Management VLAN
segments traffic to and from management interfaces, including CLI/Telnet, a Web browser
interface, and SNMP
