IGMP filtering for controlling the set of multicast groups to which hosts on a switch port can belong
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.
Switch Database Management (SDM) templates for allocating system resources to maximize
support for user-selected features
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
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 27, "Configuring SNMP."
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
Directed unicast requests to a DNS server for identifying a switch through its IP address and its
corresponding hostname and to a TFTP server for administering software upgrades from a TFTP
server
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for identifying a switch through its IP address and its
corresponding MAC address
Unicast MAC address filtering to drop packets with specific source or destination MAC addresses
Configurable MAC address scaling that allows disabling MAC address learning on a VLAN to limit
the size of the MAC address table
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) Versions 1 and 2 for network topology discovery and mapping
between the switch and other Cisco devices on the network (supported only on NNIs)
Network Time Protocol (NTP) for providing a consistent time stamp to all switches from an external
source
