OL-13018-03
CNS embedded agents for automating switch management, configuration storage, and delivery
DHCP for automating 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
DHCP server for automatic assignment of IP addresses and other DHCP options to IP hosts
DHCP-based autoconfiguration and image update to download a specified configuration a new
image to a large number of switches
DHCP server port-based address allocation for the preassignment of an IP address to a switch port
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
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and LLDP Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) for
interoperability with third-party IP phones
LLDP media extensions (LLDP-MED) location TLV that provides location information from the
switch to the endpoint device
Network Time Protocol (NTP) for providing a consistent time stamp to all switches from an external
source
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) as defined in the IEEE 1588 standard to synchronize with
nanosecond accuracy the real-time clocks of the devices in a network
Cisco IOS File System (IFS) for providing a single interface to all file systems that the switch uses
Support for the SSM PIM protocol to optimize multicast applications, such as video
Source Specific Multicast (SSM) mapping for multicast applications provides a mapping of source
to group, allowing listeners to connect to multicast sources dynamically and reduces dependencies
on the application
Support for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) IPv6 to utilize IPv6 transport,
communicate with IPv6 peers, and advertise IPv6 routes
Support for these IP services, making them VRF aware so that they can operate on multiple routing
instances: HSRP, GLBP, uRPF, ARP, SNMP, IP SLA, TFTP, FTP, syslog, traceroute, and ping
Configuration logging to log and to view changes to the switch configuration
Unique device identifier to provide product identification information through a show inventory
user EXEC command display
In-band management access through the device manager over a Netscape Navigator or Microsoft
Internet Explorer browser session
