Table 1. Features and Benefits
Feature
Benefit
Ease of Use and Deployment
•
Autoconfiguration of new stack units eliminates reconfiguration.
•
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server
eases switch deployment.
•
Automatic Cisco IOS Software version checking and updating helps ensure that all stack members have the
same software version.
•
Automatic QoS (AutoQoS) simplifies QoS configuration in voice over IP (VoIP) networks by issuing
interface and global switch commands to detect Cisco IP phones, classify traffic, and help enable egress
queue configuration.
•
Master configuration management helps ensure that all switches are automatically upgraded when the master
switch receives a new software version.
•
Autosensing on each non-SFP port detects the speed of the attached device and automatically configures the
port for 10-, 100-, or 1000-Mbps operation, easing switch deployment in mixed 10, 100, and 1000BASE-T
environments.
•
Autonegotiating on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize
bandwidth.
•
Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) facilitates 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 another switch, router, or server.
•
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that
conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.
•
DHCP Relay allows a DHCP relay agent to broadcast DHCP requests to the network DHCP server.
•
IEEE 802.3z-compliant 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, 1000BASE-T, and CWDM
physical-interface support through a field-replaceable SFP module provides unprecedented flexibility in
switch deployment.
•
To help ensure that the switch can be quickly connected to the network and can pass traffic with minimal
user intervention, there is a default configuration stored in Flash memory.
•
Automatic media-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs if
an incorrect cable type (cross-over or straight-through) is installed.
AVAILABILITY AND SCALABILITY
Superior Redundancy for
Fault Backup
•
1:N master redundancy allows each stack member to serve as a master, providing the highest reliability for
forwarding.
•
Cisco CrossStack UplinkFast (CSUF) technology provides increased redundancy and network resiliency
through fast spanning-tree convergence (less than 2 seconds) across a switch stack with Cisco StackWise
technology.
•
Cross-Stack EtherChannel provides the ability to configure Cisco EtherChannel technology across different
members of the stack for high resiliency.
•
IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides rapid spanning-tree convergence independent
of spanning-tree timers and also offers the benefit of distributed processing.
•
Stacked units behave as a single spanning-tree node.
