Cisco Stacking Technology |
|
|
The Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 family eliminates the need to manage multiple switches per rack.
- Up to nine switches can be combined into a single logical switch
- Fully configured, each stack can provide up to 160Gb bandwidth to the upstream network
- Provides up to 64Gb of intra-switch stacking bandwidth
- Logical switch appears as single STP node on the network and is accessed via single IP address
- Supports multiple stacking topologies that provide tailored bandwidth and redundancy solutions to each rack

|
Multiple IOS options |
|
|
Catalyst 3120 switches have multiple IP based IOS options that give network managers a cost effective way to precisely control each node in the network.
- Base IOS contains the most popular feature set including PVLANs, IPv6 host support and most Layer 3 routing protocols
- The IP services upgrade package provides additional Layer 3 enhancements including OSPF and policy based routing
- The Advanced IP services upgrade delivers full IPv6 routing, including RIP and OSPF v3
- Upgrade packages may be purchased and installed at any time, based on the requirements of each stack
- Catalyst blade switches now have operational consistency with other members of the Catalyst switch family

Greater manageability |
|
|
Enjoy ease of manageability of the Catalyst 3120 switches as they support the entire Cisco suite of management, provisioning and diagnostic tools.
- The entire stack is managed as a single switch and looks as one single switch to provisioning software
- Managed with CiscoWorks, the Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 series can be configured and managed to deliver end-to-end device, VLAN, traffic, and policy management
- The Catalyst 3120 series supports automated tools such as EEM, GOLD and VFrame DC support to simplify overall management
- Use Cisco Network Assistant, a PC-based network management application, to centralize network management and configuration
- SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 and Telnet interface support deliver comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI-based management console provides detailed out-of-band management

Security |
|
|
The Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 series provides a rich set of tools for securing application data across the network assuring privacy to users and data, while restricting unauthorized network access and attacks.
- Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical network topology configured on top of a physical network topology which conserves bandwidth and improves security by limiting traffic to specific groups of devices
- Supports Cisco's Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) which prevents unauthorized network access and insures that users get only their designated privileges
- Compatible with Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) so that user security profiles and authentication follow the user regardless of where they connect on the network
- Access Control Lists (ACL's) are maintained in hardware for maximum performance and can be used to guard against denial-of-service and other attacks
- 802.1x Port Security recognizes the MAC address of the device connecting to it and will set rights or limitations based on predefined security thresholds
