Table 1 Product Features and Benefits

Feature

Benefit

 

 

 

• Layer 2 traceroute eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a

 

packet takes from source to destination.

 

• All 9 RMON groups are supported through a SPAN port, which permits traffic

 

monitoring of a single port, a group of ports, or the entire stack from a single

 

network analyzer or RMON probe.

 

• Domain Name Services (DNS) provide IP address resolution with user-defined

 

device names.

 

• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software

 

upgrades by downloading from a centralized location.

 

• Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to

 

all intranet switches.

 

• Multifunction LEDs per port for port status; half-duplex and full-duplex mode; and

 

10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T indication as well as switch-level status

 

LEDs for system, redundant-power supply, and bandwidth utilization provide a

 

comprehensive and convenient visual management system.

 

• SPAN works across all the ports in a stack.

 

 

Cisco CMS Software

• Cisco CMS Software provides an easy-to-use, Web-based management interface

 

through a standard Web browser.

 

• Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data) wizards need just

 

a few user inputs to automatically configure the switch to optimally handle

 

different types of traffic: voice, video, multicast, and high-priority data.

 

• A security wizard is provided to restrict unauthorized access to applications,

 

servers, and networks.

 

• Cisco CMS Software allows management of up to 16 interconnected Cisco

 

Catalyst 3750, 3550, 2950, 2950 LRE, 3500 XL, 2900 XL, 2900 LRE XL, and 1900

 

switches through a single IP address, without the limitation of being physically

 

located in the same wiring closet. Full backward compatibility helps ensure any

 

combination of the above switches can be managed with a Cisco Catalyst 3750

 

Series switch.

 

• The cluster software upgrade feature allows one-click software upgrade across an

 

entire cluster of Cisco Catalyst 3750, 3550, 2950, 2950 LRE, 3500 XL, 2900 XL,

 

2900 LRE XL, and 1900 switches. Configuration cloning enables rapid deployment

 

of networks. The master switch automatically upgrades each stack.

 

• Cisco CMS Software has been extended to include multilayer feature

 

configurations such as routing protocols, ACLs, and QoS parameters.

 

• Cisco Clustering now supports member discovery and cluster creation across a

 

single Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series switch routed hop, enabling the entire LAN to be

 

managed through a single Web interface (and with a single IP address, if desired).

 

• Cisco CMS Software Guide Mode assists in the configuration of powerful

 

advanced features by providing step-by-step instructions.

 

• Cisco CMS Software provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive

 

assistance.

 

• The easy-to-use graphical interface provides both a topology map and front-panel

 

view of the cluster and stacks.

 

• Multidevice and multiport configuration capabilities allow administrators to save

 

time by configuring features across multiple switches and ports simultaneously.

 

Web-based management for a Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point is launched

 

by clicking the relevant icon in the topology map.
