• 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 10Base-T and 100Base-T

environments.

• Autonegotiation on all 10/100 ports automatically

selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to

optimize bandwidth.

• Default configuration stored in Flash memory ensures

that the switch can be connected to the network and pass

traffic with minimal user intervention, and preserves the

configuration data in case of power outages.

Integrated Cisco IOS Switching Software

• CGMP Fast Leave software allows end stations to

quickly exit from a multicast session, reducing

superﬂuous trafﬁc on the network.

• Bandwidth aggregation through Fast EtherChannel

and Gigabit EtherChannel technology enhances fault

tolerance and offers up to 800 Mbps and 4 Gbps of

bandwidth between switches, and to routers and

individual servers.

• Per-port broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control

prevents faulty end stations from degrading overall

systems performance.

• Command-line interface (CLI) support provides

common user interface and a command set with

Catalyst 5000, 5500 and 8500 Series switches and

all Cisco routers.

Comprehensive Manageability

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive

in-band management, and the Cisco IOS CLI-based

management console provides detailed out-of-band

management.

• CMS, a built-in Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

server, provides an ease-of-use Web-based management

interface through a standard browser such as Netscape

Navigator or Microsoft Explorer.

• The switch is manageable through CiscoWorks

Windows and CiscoWorks 2000 network management

software on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a

common management interface for Cisco routers,

switches, and hubs.
