Cisco Systems 3750E Deployment Features, Availability and Redundancy Features, Vlan Features

Chapter 1 Overview

Features

•IP services feature set, which provides a richer set of enterprise-class intelligent services. It includes all IP base features plus full Layer 3 routing (IP unicast routing, IP multicast routing, and fallback bridging). The IP services feature set includes protocols such as the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol. This feature set also supports IPv6 access control lists (ACLs) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping. Switches with the IP services feature set can be upgraded to the advanced IP services feature set.

IP services-only Layer 3 features are described in the “Layer 3 Features” section on page 1-11.

For more information, see Chapter 25, “Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping,” and Chapter 35, “Configuring IPv6 ACLs.”

•Advanced IP services feature set, which provides full IPv6 support. It includes all IP service features with IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACLs. For more information on IPv6 routing, see Chapter 39, “Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing.” For more information about IPv6 ACLs, see Chapter 35, “Configuring IPv6 ACLs.”

Note Unless otherwise noted, all features described in this chapter and in this guide are supported on both the IP base and IP services feature sets.

Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches are backward-compatible with the Catalyst 3750 and 3560 switches. For information about the feature behavior differences, see the Cisco Software Activation and Compatibility Document on Cisco.com.

Deployment Features

The switch ships with these features:

•Express Setup for quickly configuring a switch for the first time with basic IP information, contact information, switch and Telnet passwords, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) information through a browser-based program. For more information about Express Setup, see the getting started guide.

•User-defined and Cisco-default Smartports macros for creating custom switch configurations for simplified deployment across the network.
