Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Software Configuration Guide
1-2
Autosensing of port speed and autonegotiation of duplex mode on all switch ports for optimizing
bandwidth
Automatic-medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) capability on 10/100 Mbps
interfaces and 10/100/1000 BASE-T/TX small form-factor pluggable (SFP) interfaces that enables
the interface to automatically detect the required cable connection type (straight through or
crossover) and configure the connection appropriately
IEEE 802.3X flow control on all ports (the switch does not send pause frames)
EtherChannel for enhanced fault tolerance and for providing up to 2 Gbps (Gigabit EtherChannel)
or 800 Mbps (Fast EtherChannel) full duplex of bandwidth between switches, routers, and servers
Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for automatic
creation of EtherChannel links
Per-port storm control for preventing broadcast, multicast, and unicast storms
Port blocking on forwarding unknown Layer 2 unknown unicast, multicast, and bridged broadcast
traffic
Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) server support and Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) snooping for IGMP versions 1 and 2:
–
(For CGMP devices) CGMP for limiting multicast traffic to specified end stations and reducing
overall network traffic
(For IGMP devices) IGMP snooping for efficiently forwarding multimedia and multicast traffic
–
Multicast VLAN registration (MVR) to continuously send multicast streams in a multicast VLAN
while isolating the streams from subscriber VLANs for bandwidth and security reasons
IGMP filtering for controlling the set of multicast groups to which hosts on a switch port can belong
Switch Database Management (SDM) templates for allocating system resources to maximize
support for user-selected features
CLI—The Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) software is enhanced to support the Catalyst
3750 Metro switch features. You can access the CLI either by connecting your management station
directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a remote management station. For more
information about the CLI, see
IE2100—Cisco Intelligence Engine 2100 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management
device that works with embedded Cisco Networking Services (CNS) Agents in the switch software.
You can automate initial configurations and configuration updates by generating switch-specific
configuration changes, sending them to the switch, executing the configuration change, and logging
the results.
For more information about IE2100, see
SNMP—Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management applications such as
CiscoWorks2000 LAN Management Suite (LMS) and HP OpenView. You can manage from an
SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet
Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and four remote monitoring
(RMON) groups. For more information about using SNMP, see
Chapter 2, "Using the Command-Line Interface."
