Security

VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network 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.

Product Specifications Software	Security Features	IEEE 802.1x allows dynamic, port-based security, providing server authentication. IEEE 802.1x with VLAN assignment allows a dynamic VLAN assignment for a specific server, regardless of where the server is connected. IEEE 802.1x and port security are provided to authenticate the port and manage network access for all MAC addresses, including those of the server. IEEE 802.1x with an ACL assignment allows for specific identity-based security policies, regardless of where the server is connected. IEEE 802.1x with Guest VLAN allows servers without 802.1x clients to have limited network access on the Guest VLAN. Cisco security VLAN ACLs (VACLs) on all VLANs prevent unauthorized data flows from being bridged within VLANs. Port-based ACLs (PACLs) allow security policies to be applied on individual switch ports. SSH Protocol (v2), Kerberos, and SNMPv3 provide network security by encrypting administrator traffic during Telnet and SNMP sessions. SSH, Kerberos, and the cryptographic version of SNMPv3 require a special cryptographic software image due to U.S. export restrictions. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) provides a secure means to use Web-based tools such as HTML-based device managers. Private VLAN Edge provides security and isolation between switch ports, helping to ensure that users cannot snoop on other users' traffic. Bidirectional data support on the Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port allows Cisco Secure Intrusion
	Spanning Tree Features	IEEE 802.1D Spanning-Tree Protocol support for redundant backbone connections and loop-free networks simplifies network configuration and improves fault tolerance. Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning-Tree (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning-tree convergence on a per-VLAN spanning-tree basis, without requiring the implementation of spanning-tree instances. IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning-Tree Protocol (MSTP) allows a spanning-tree instance per VLAN and enables each VLAN to use a different uplink allowing better utilization of uplinks. IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides rapid spanning-tree convergence independent of spanning-tree timers. Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links to be detected and disabled to avoid problems such as spanning-tree loops.
	Trunking Features	Cisco UplinkFast and BackboneFast technologies help to ensure quick failover recovery, enhancing overall network stability and reliability. PVST+ allows for Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links to efficiently use the extra capacity inherent in a redundant design. Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) enables dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports. Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel® groups or Gigabit EtherChannel® groups to link to the upstream switch/router, or server blades Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with upstream switches that conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.
	VLAN Features	4096 VLAN IDs are supported. VLAN1 minimization allows VLAN1 to be disabled on any individual VLAN trunk link. VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) pruning limits bandwidth consumption on VTP trunks by flooding broadcast traffic only on trunk links required to reach the destination devices.
	Quality of Service Features	Wire rate performance for highly granular QoS functions. E.g. Granular rate limiting Asynchronous data flows upstream and downstream from the end station or on an uplink are easily managed using ingress policing and egress shaping. 802.1p CoS and DSCP field classification are provided, using marking and reclassification on a per-packet basis by source and destination IP address, source and destination MAC address, or Layer 4 TCP/UDP port number. Rate limiting is provided based on source and destination IP address, source and destination MAC address, Layer 4 TCP/UDP information, or any combination of these fields, using QoS ACLs (IP ACLs or MAC ACLs), class maps, and policy maps. Up to 64 aggregate or individual policers per port are allowed. Cisco control-plane and data-plane QoS ACLs on all ports help to ensure proper marking on a per-packet basis. 4 egress queues per port enable differentiated management of up to 4 traffic flows Shaped Round Robin scheduling helps to ensure differential prioritization of packet flows by intelligently servicing the egress queues. Weighted Tail Drop (WTD) provides congestion avoidance at the ingress and egress queues before a disruption occurs. Strict priority queuing guarantees that the highest-priority packets are serviced ahead of all other traffic. The Cisco Committed Information Rate (CIR) function guarantees bandwidth in increments as low as 8 Kbps.
	Management Features	Cisco IOS CLI support provides a common user interface and command set with all Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst desktop switches. Cisco Service Assurance Agent (SAA) support facilitates service-level management throughout the LAN. VLAN trunks can be created from any port, using either standards-based 802.1Q tagging or the Cisco Inter-Switch Link (ISL) VLAN architecture. Up to 1005 VLANs per switch and up to 128 spanning-tree instances per switch are supported. Cisco VTP supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across all switches. IGMP snooping provides fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limits bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors. Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN) allows administrators to remotely monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any other switch in the same network. For enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis, the Embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports 4 RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events). Layer 2 traceroute eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet takes from source to destination. All 4 RMON groups are supported through a SPAN port, which permits traffic monitoring of a single port, a group of ports from a single network analyzer, or RMON probe. The Domain Name System (DNS) provides IP address resolution with user-defined device names. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading from a centralized location. Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all intranet switches. Multifunction LEDs per port for port status; and switch-level status LEDs for system.
	CiscoWorks Features	CiscoWorks network-management software provides management capabilities on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs. 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. Cisco Discovery Protocol versions 1 and 2 enable a CiscoWorks network-management station for automatic switch discovery.
