Brochure • 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol facilitates load balancing and improves network fault tolerance by providing multiple forwarding paths for data traffic. 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides rapid recovery of uplink connectivity following failure. • Cisco Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is supported to create redundant, failsafe routing topologies. • Equal cost routing (ECR) provides load balancing and redundancy. Basic IP Unicast routing protocols (static, RIPv1, and RIPv2) are supported for small - network routing applications. Advanced IP Unicast routing protocols (OSPF, Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP], Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP], and Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGPv41) are supported for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs. IP Services or Advanced IP Services is required. • Switch port auto - recovery (errdisable) automatically attempts to re- enable a link that is disabled because of a network error. • The optional Cisco RPS 675 Redundant Power System protects against internal power supply failures. Management The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series supports the following management capabilities: • IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE support come with automatic discovery to detect a Cisco prestandard or IEEE 802.3af endpoint, negotiate the power to be budgeted for that device, and provide the necessary power -all done by the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series switch without any user configuration. • Cisco Smartport macros offer a set of verified feature templates per connection type in an easy -to -apply manner. With these templates, users can consistently and reliably configure essential security, IP telephony, availability, QoS, and manageability features with minimal effort and expertise. Smartport macros simplify the configuration of critical features for Ethernet networks. • All Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series switches can be managed by the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) applications such as Resource Manager Essentials, Campus Manager, Device Fault Manager, and CiscoView. CiscoWorks LMS is a suite of powerful management tools that simplify the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of large Cisco networks. It integrates these capabilities into a world -class solution for improving the accuracy and efficiency of operations staff, increasing the overall availability of networks through proactive planning, and maximizing network security. • Cisco Network Assistant software can manage a small network consisting of a diverse array of network devices, such as Cisco routers and Cisco Aironet wireless access points. A few mouse clicks enable the security, availability, and QoS features recommended by Cisco, without the need to consult a detailed design guide. The Security wizard automatically restricts unauthorized access to servers with sensitive data. Cisco Smartports and wizards save hours of time for network administrators, reduce human errors, and help ensure that the configuration of the switch is optimized for these applications. Available at no cost, Cisco Network Assistant can be downloaded from http: /fwww.cisco.com /qo /cna. • The Cisco Express Setup feature simplifies initial configuration, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and knowledge of CLI. This reduces the cost of deployment by enabling less- skilled personnel to quickly and simply set up switches. All contents are Copyright cn 1992 -2006 Cisco systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
