Benefit
• The switch supports up to 6 policers per LRE port and up to 60 policers on a Gigabit
Ethernet port.
• The switches offer granularity of traffic flows at 1 Mbps on LRE ports, and 8 Mbps on
Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• The switch offers the ability to limit data flows based on MAC source/destination
address, IP source/destination address, TCP/UDP port numbers, or any combination of
these fields.
• The switch offers the ability to manage data flows asynchronously upstream and
downstream from the end station or on the uplink.
• 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.
• A SPAN port monitors traffic of a single port from a single network analyzer or RMON
probe.
• Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN) allows network administrators to locally
monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any other switch in the same network.
• The Domain Name System (DNS) provides IP address resolution with user-defined
device names.
• Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all
switches within the intranet.
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software
upgrades by downloading from a centralized location.
• Crash Information support enables switch to generate a crash file for improved
troubleshooting.
• RTTMON-MIB allows users to monitor network performance between a Catalyst
switch and a remote device.
• Multifunction LEDs per port for port status, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T
indication, as well as switch-level status LEDs for system and redundant power supply
provide a comprehensive and convenient visual management system.
• Read-only MIB support for LRE profiles and FastEthernet ports on LRE CPEs
