Chapter 7 Features of LAN-Based Switching Technologies

Catalyst 3524-PWR XL Switch

•IEEE 802.1p support: dual-priority forwarding queues on each 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet port, enabling network traffic prioritization and seamless data, voice, and video integration.

•Bandwidth aggregation through Fast EtherChannel and Gigabit EtherChannel technologies, offering from 400 Mbps to Gbps of aggregated bandwidth between switches, to routers, and to individual servers.

•Cisco Inter Switch Link (ISL) and IEEE 802.1Q trunking support on all ports: supports automatic segmentation of phone and data endpoints into separate logical networks.

•Supports 8192 Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.

•IEEE 802.3z compliance and support for Cisco GBIC modules:

–GigaStack GBIC: for creating a 1-Gbps stack configuration of up to nine Catalyst 3500 XL switches; the maximum distance for a GigaStack GBIC-to-GigaStack GBIC connection is 1 m.

–1000BASE-SX GBIC module: for fiber connections of up to 550 m.

–1000BASE-LX/LH GBIC module: for fiber connections of up to 10 km.

–1000BASE-ZX GBIC module: for fiber connections of up to 100 km.

•Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) enables a switch to selectively and dynamically forward routed IP multicast traffic to targeted multimedia end stations, reducing overall network traffic.

•Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) support provides a common user interface and command set through the console port or Telnet.

•CiscoView device-management application support.

•Cluster Management Suite support: a web-based tool for managing switch clusters or an individual switch through a single IP address.

•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for in-band management.

•Power redundancy: supports an optional Cisco RPS 300 that operates on AC input and supplies DC output.

•Inline power

–Can provide inline power for Cisco IP phones from all 24 10/100 Ethernet ports.
