IPv6 Layer 3 functions:

IPv6 host management

IPv6 forwarding

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for router redundancy

Static routes

Routing protocols (BGP)

Policy-based routing (PBR)

DHCP Relay

DNS client

Virtualization:

Virtual link aggregation groups (vLAGs)

Two switches (vLAG peers) act as a single virtual entity for a multi-port aggregation

vLAG Peer Gateway for improved usage of the link between the vLAG peers

Two-tier vLAGs with VRRP enables active/active VRRP to reduce routing latency

Network Policy Agent gives increased visibility of the virtual infrastructure and automates

VM-aware network provisioning and configuration updates for VLANs, virtual NICs, virtual

networks, ACLs, and QoS based on the VM associations in a hyperconverged Nutanix

environment (requires the AHV and software version 5.0.2 or higher).

Converged Enhanced Ethernet:

Priority-Based Flow Control (PFC) (IEEE 802.1Qbb) extends 802.3x flow control to allow the

switch to pause traffic that is based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.

Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) (IEEE 802.1Qaz) provides a method for allocating link

bandwidth that is based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.

Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX) (IEEE 802.1AB) allows

neighboring network devices to exchange information about their capabilities.

Monitoring:

Switch LEDs for port status and switch status indication

Port mirroring for analyzing network traffic passing through switch

Change tracking and remote logging with syslog feature

Telemetry agent for real-time analytics: Buffer statistics and congestion drop counters

Manageability:

Industry-standard command line interface (isCLI)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP V1, V2, and V3)

Telnet interface for CLI

Secure Shell (SSH) v1 and v2 for CLI

Secure Copy (SCP) for uploading and downloading the configuration file via secure channels

Service Location Protocol (SLP)

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for discovering network devices

Serial interface for CLI

Scriptable CLI

Dual software images

Firmware image update via TFTP, FTP, Secure FTP (sFTP), or USB storage

Network Time Protocol (NTP) for switch clock synchronization

Lenovo XClarity (optional; sold separately) for discovery, inventory, monitoring and events

Third-party tools integration

Lenovo Networking Content Pack for VMware vRealize Log Insight (optional

download) for automated log management

Integration with Nutanix Prism management via Network Policy Agent

Lenovo Networking Neutron Plugin to automate VLAN provisioning and configuration

updates for OpenStack-based cloud environments

Integration with Ansible management

Ganglia plug-in for telemetry data analytics
