•
An embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and
events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis.
•
The switch supports all nine RMON groups through the use of a Cisco SwitchProbe
®
Analyzer (Switched Port Analyzer
[SPAN]) port, permitting traffic monitoring of a single port, a group of ports, or the entire switch from a single network
analyzer or RMON probe.
analyzer or RMON probe.
•
A SPAN port monitors traffic of a single port from a single network analyzer or RMON probe.
•
Remote SPAN (RSPAN) allows network administrators to locally monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any
other switch in the same network. Bidirectional RSPAN is supported when the switch is used as a source switch only.
•
DHCP Snooping Option 82 enables more sophisticated IP address assignment by the DHCP server.
•
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 Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent time stamp to all switches within the intranet.
•
Layer 2 traceroute eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet takes from the source device to
a destination device.
•
Crash information support enables switches to generate a crash file for improved troubleshooting.
•
Show-interface-capabilities provide information on configuration capabilities of any interface.
•
RTTMON-MIB allows users to monitor network performance between a Cisco Catalyst switch and a remote device.
•
Multifunction LEDs per port for port status, half-duplex/full-duplex, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T indication,
as well as switch-level status LEDs for system, redundant power supply, and bandwidth utilization, provide a
comprehensive and convenient visual management system.

Software
•
Cisco Network Assistant Software is a free, standalone network management application software that simplifies the
administration of networks of up to 250 users. . It supports a wide range of Cisco Catalyst intelligent switches from
Cisco Catalyst 2950 through Cisco Catalyst 4506. With Cisco Network Assistant, users can manage Cisco Catalyst
switches plus launch the device managers of Cisco integrated services routers (ISRs) and Cisco Aironet WLAN access
points by simply clicking on its icon in the topology map.

•
Cisco Architecture for Voice, Video, and Integrated Data (AVVID) Wizards use just a few user inputs to automatically
configure the switch to optimally handle different types of traffic: voice, video, multicast, and/or high-priority data.
•
A security wizard is provided to restrict unauthorized access to servers and networks, and to restrict certain applications
on the network.
•
One-click software upgrades can be performed across multiple switches simultaneously, and configuration cloning
enables rapid deployment of networks.
•
Cisco Network Assistant Software supports multilayer feature configurations such as ACPs and QoS parameters.
•
Cisco Network Assistant Software Guide Mode assists users in the configuration of powerful advanced features by
providing step-by-step instructions.
•
Cisco Network Assistant Software provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive assistance.
•
Easy-to-use GUI provides both a topology map and front-panel view of the switches.
•
Multidevice and multiport configuration capabilities allow network administrators to save time by configuring features
across multiple switches and ports simultaneously.
•
User-personalized interface allows users to modify polling intervals, table views, and other settings within Cisco
Network Assistant Software, and to retain these settings the next time they use Cisco Network Assistant.
•
Alarm notification provides automated e-mail notification of network errors and alarm thresholds.
