–
PTP enhancement to support PTP messages on the expansion module port s.
• 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.
• 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 Device Manager over a Netscape Navigator or Microsoft
Internet Explorer browser session.
• In-band management access for up to 16 simultaneous Telnet connections for multiple CLI-based
sessions over the network.
• In-band management access for up to five simultaneous, encrypted Secure Shell ( SSH) connections
for multiple CLI-based sessions over the network.
• In-band management access through SNMP Versions 1, 2c, and 3 get and set requests.
• Out-of-band management access through the switch console port to a directly attached terminal or
to a remote terminal through a serial connection or a modem.
• Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) feature to provide a secure and authenticated method for copying
switch configuration or switch image files (requires the cryptographic version of the software).
• Configuration replacement and rollback to replace the running configuration on a switch with any
saved Cisco IOS configuration file.
• The HTTP client in Cisco IOS can send requests to both IPv4 and IPv6 HTTP server, and the HTTP
server in Cisco IOS can service HTTP requests from both IPv4 and IPv6 HTTP clients.
• Simple Network and Management Protocol (SNMP) can be configured over IPv6 transport so that
an IPv6 host can send SNMP queries and receive SNMP notifications from a d evice running IPv6.
• IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration to manage link, subnet, and site a ddressing changes, such as
management of host and mobile IP addresses.
• Disabling MAC address learning on a VLAN.
• DHCP server port-based address allocation for the preassignment of an IP address to a switch port.
• CPU utilization threshold trap monitors CPU utilization.
• LLDP-MED network-policy profile time, length, value (TLV) for creating a profile for voice and
voice-signaling by specifying the values for VLAN, class of service (CoS), differentiated services
code point (DSCP), and tagging mode.
• Support for including a hostname in the option 12 field of DHCPDISCOVER packets. This provides
identical configuration files to be sent by using the DHCP protocol.
• DHCP Snooping enhancement to support the selection of a fixed string-bas ed format for the
circuit-id sub-option of the Option 82 DHCP field.
• Support for PROFINET IO, a modular communication framework for distributed automation
applications. The switch provides a PROFINET management connection to the I/O controllers.
Availability and Redundancy Features
• UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) and aggressive UDLD for detecting and disabling
unidirectional links on fiber-optic interfaces caused by incorrect fiber-optic wiring or port faults
