Feature

Ease of use and

deployment

Benefit

• Cisco Express Setup:

– Simpliﬁes initial conﬁguration of a switch via a Web browser, eliminating the need for

more complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.

– Reduces the cost of deployment by enabling less-skilled personnel to set up switches

quickly and simply.

• Auto-conﬁguration eases deployment of switches in the network by automatically

conﬁguring multiple switches across a network using a bootp server.

• Autosensing on each port detects the speed of the attached device and automatically

conﬁgures the port for 10- or 100-Mbps operation, easing the deployment of the switch

in mixed-speed environments.

• Auto-negotiating on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode

to optimize bandwidth.

• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with

devices that conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This is similar to Cisco EtherChannel and PagP .

• Cisco Discovery Protocol versions 1 and 2 enable a CiscoWorks network management

station to automatically discover the switch in a network topology.

• Cisco VTP supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk conﬁguration across all switches.

• Support for dynamic VLAN assignment through implementation of VLAN Membership

Policy Server (VMPS) client functions provides ﬂexibility in assigning ports to VLANs.

• Voice VLAN simpliﬁes telephony installations by keeping voice trafﬁc on a separate VLAN

for easier network administration and troubleshooting.

• The default conﬁguration stored in Flash memory ensures that the switch can be quickly

connected to the network and can pass trafﬁc with minimal user intervention.
