Management

• STP Root Guard
• DHCP Protection from unauthorized DHCP servers
• IP Source Guard
• Dynamic ARP protection to prevent eavesdropping
• Guest VLAN

• RADIUS/TACACS+
• Secure management via SSHv2 and SNMPv3
• Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (URPF)

Layer 2 Switching

• 32K MAC addresses
• 4094 VLANs
• IEEE 802.1ad QinQ VLANs
• Jumbo packet support
• GVRP VLAN Registration Protocol
• Port Aggregation
• Spanning Tree Protocol,  PVST, MSTP, RSTP, STP Root Guard
• Smart Link fast uplink failure recovery
• IP Multicast Snooping and data-driven IGMP
• Policy Based Routing

Layer 3 Routing

• IPv4 routing protocols - static routes, RIP, OSPF and BGP
• IPv6 routing protocols - static routes, RIPng, OSPFv3 and BGP+
• IPv6 tunneling
• IP Multicast - PIM-SSM, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, IGMP for IPv4 and IPv6
• Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP)
• Policy-based routing
• DHCP and DHCPv6 client
• VRRP

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Advanced classifier-based QoS - classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3 and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis
• Traffic policing - supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
• Powerful QoS feature - creates traffic classes based on access control lists (ACL), IEEE 802.1p precedence, IP, DSCP or Type of Service (ToS) precedence; supports filter, redirect, mirror or remark; supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and weighted random early discard (WRED)
• Storm restraint - allows limitation of broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network

Resiliency and High Availability

• Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) - Creates virtual resilient switching fabrics, where two or more switches perform as a single Layer 2 switch and Layer 3 router; Switches do not have to be co-located and can be part of a disaster recovery system; Servers or switches can be attached using standard LACP for automatic load balancing and high availability; Simplifies network operation by eliminating Spanning Tree, ECMP and VRRP
• Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) - Monitors Link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected
• Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) - Connects multiple switches in a high-performance ring using standard Ethernet technology; traffic can be rerouted around the ring in less than 50 ms upon failure
• Smart Link - Allows 50 ms failover between links
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

Monitoring and Diagnostics

• OAM (802.3ah) - Detects data link layer problems in the "last mile"; monitors link status between two devices
• CFD (802.1ag) - Connectivity Fault Detection (CFD) provides L2 link OAM mechanism used for link connectivity detection and fault location
• Mirroring - Port mirroring enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network analyzer for monitoring; Flow-based mirroring
