Management Features
Smart Install
Beginning with Cisco IOS XE 3.4.0SG and 15.1(2)SG, the Catalyst 4500 series switch supported Smart
Install, which is a plug-and-play configuration and image-management feature that provides zero-touch
deployment for new switches. You can ship a switch to a location, place it in the network and power it
on with no configuration required on the device.

SPAN and RSPAN
Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) allows you to monitor traffic on any port for analysis by a network
analyzer or Remote Monitoring (RMON) probe. You also can do the following:
•

For information on SPAN, see
Remote SPAN (RSPAN) is an extension of SPAN, where source ports and destination ports are
distributed across multiple switches, allowing remote monitoring of multiple switches across the
network. The traffic for each RSPAN session is carried over a user-specified RSPAN VLAN that is
dedicated for that RSPAN session on all participating switches.

Universal Power over Ethernet
The IEEE 802.3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard sets the maximum power that can be sourced by
data terminal equipment (DTE) at 30W. This power is sourced over two pairs out of the four twisted pairs
of conductors in a Class D, or better, cabling as specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995.
Cisco® Universal Power over Ethernet (UPOE) is a Cisco proprietary technology that extends the IEEE
802.3 PoE standard to provide the capability to source up to 60W of power over standard Ethernet
cabling infrastructure (Class D or better).
For more information on UPOE, see the "Configuring Universal PoE" section in
"Configuring Power over Ethernet."

Configure ACLs on SPAN sessions.
Allow incoming traffic on SPAN destination ports to be switched normally.
Explicitly configure the encapsulation type of packets that are spanned out of a destination port.
Restrict ingress sniffing depending on whether the packet is unicast, multicast, or broadcast, and
depending on whether the packet is valid.
Mirror packets sent to or from the CPU out of a SPAN destination port for troubleshooting purposes.
