Chapter1 Overview
Features
Voice VLAN to permit a Cisco IP Phone to access the voice VLAN regardless of the authorized
or unauthorized state of the port
IP phone detection enhancement to detect and recognize a Cisco IP phone
Guest VLAN to provide limited services to non-IEEE 802. 1x- co mplia nt u s ers
Restricted VLAN to provide limited services to users who are IEE E 802 .1x com pl ian t, but do
not have the credentials to authenticate via the standard I EEE 802 .1 x p roce sses
IEEE 802.1x accounting to track network usage
IEEE 802.1x with wake-on-LAN to allow dormant PCs to be powered on based on the receipt
of a specific Ethernet frame
MAC authentication bypass to authorize clients based on the client MAC address.
Network Admission Control (NAC) features:
NAC Layer 2 IEEE 802.1x validation of the antivirus condition or posture of endpoint systems
or clients before granting the devices network access.
For information about configuring NAC Layer 2 IEEE 802.1x validation, see the “Configuring
NAC Layer 2 IEEE 802.1x Validation” section on page9-41.
NAC Layer 2 IP validation of the posture of endpoint systems or clients before granting the
devices network access.
For information about configuring NAC Layer 2 IP validation, see the Network Admission
Control Software Configuration Guide.
IEEE 802.1x inaccessible authentication bypass.
For information about configuring this feature, see the “Configuring the Inaccessible
Authentication Bypass Feature” section on page 9-37.
Authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) down policy for a NAC Layer 2 IP
validation of a host if the AAA server is not available when the posture validation occurs.
For information about this feature, see the Network Admission Control Software Configuration
Guide.
TACACS+, a proprietary feature for managing network security through a TACACS server
RADIUS for verifying the identity of, granting access to, and tracking the actions of remote users
through AAA services
Kerberos security system to authenticate requests for network resources by using a trusted third
party (requires the cryptographic universal software image)
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Version 3.0 support for the HTT P 1.1 ser v er authen ticati on, encr ypti on,
and message integrity and HTTP client authentication to allow secure HTTP communications
(requires the cryptographic universal software image)
QoS and CoS Features
These are the QoS and CoS features:
Automatic QoS (auto-QoS) to simplify the deployment of existing QoS features by classifying
traffic and configuring egress queues
Cross-stack QoS for configuring QoS features to all switches in a switch stack rather than on an
individual-switch basis
