CGMP Fast Leave

Allows quick stoppage of multicasts to end stations that want to drop a
data stream, reducing superfluous traffic on the network

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Telnet
interface support

Delivers comprehensive in-band management

Telnet support for five simultaneous sessions

Allows menu-based management by terminal emulation software over the
network

Command-line interface (CLI)-based management console

Provides detailed out-of-band management

Uses the same management interface as Cisco routers

Cisco Visual Switch Manager software

Built-in HTTP server enables Web-based management interface through
standard browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer

Provides stack and network topology views of a group of Catalyst 2900XL
switches with one easy-to-use management interface

Support for CiscoWorks Windows and CiscoWorks2000
network management software

Enables management on a per-port and per-switch basis

Provides a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches,
and hubs

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)

Enables a CiscoView network management station to automatically
discover the switch in a network topology without user intervention

Four groups of embedded RMON (History, Statistics, Alarms,
and Events)

Provides enhanced manageability, network monitoring, and traffic analysis

Network statistics gathered on a per-port basis or by using an
RMON probe

Facilitates troubleshooting and capacity planning by characterizing each
port’s utilization, errors, and other key statistics

SPAN support for connection to a network analyzer or RMON
probe

Offers complete monitoring of a single port, group of ports, or the entire
switch from a single network analyzer or RMON probe attached to a
switch port

Multifunction per-port LEDs for port status, half-duplex/
full-duplex, and 10BaseT/100BaseT indication, as well as
switch-level status LEDs for system, RPS, module status, and
bandwidth utilization

Provides comprehensive and convenient visual management of the switch

Autoconfiguration

Eases deployment of switches in the network by automatically configuring
multiple switches across a network via a boot server

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

Reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading
from a centralized location

Default configuration stored in Flash memory

Ensures that the switch can be connected to the network and can pass
traffic with minimal user intervention

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) discovers the MAC
address that corresponds to the IP address for any given host
on the network

Allows the network manager, from a central console, to identify a host IP
address and its corresponding MAC address
