Catalyst 2975 Switch Software Configuration Guide

OL-19720-02

Chapter 1      Overview

Features

  •

Support for including a hostname in the option 12 field of DHCPDISCOVER packets. This provides 
identical configuration files to be sent by using the DHCP protocol

  •

DHCP Snooping enhancement to support the selection of a fixed string-based format for the 
circuit-id sub-option of the Option 82 DHCP field

  •

Increased support for LLPD-MED by allowing the switch to grant power to the power device (PD), 
based on the power policy TLV request

Availability and Redundancy Features

  •

Automatic stack master re-election for replacing stack masters that become unavailable (failover 
support)

The newly elected stack master begins accepting Layer 2 traffic in less than 1 second and Layer 3 
traffic between 3 to 5 seconds.

  •

Cross-stack EtherChannel for providing redundant links across the switch stack

  •

UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) and aggressive UDLD for detecting and disabling 
unidirectional links on fiber-optic interfaces caused by incorrect fiber-optic wiring or port faults

  •

IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for redundant backbone connections and loop-free 
networks. STP has these features:

  –

Up to 128 spanning-tree instances supported

  –

Per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+) for load balancing across VLANs

  –

Rapid PVST+ for load balancing across VLANs and providing rapid convergence of 
spanning-tree instances

  –

UplinkFast, cross-stack UplinkFast, and BackboneFast for fast convergence after a 
spanning-tree topology change and for achieving load balancing between redundant uplinks, 
including Gigabit uplinks and cross-stack Gigabit uplinks

  •

IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) for grouping VLANs into a spanning-tree 
instance and for providing multiple forwarding paths for data traffic and load balancing and rapid 
per-VLAN Spanning-Tree plus (rapid-PVST+) based on the IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree 
Protocol (RSTP) for rapid convergence of the spanning tree by immediately changing root and 
designated ports to the forwarding state

  •

Optional spanning-tree features available in PVST+, rapid-PVST+, and MSTP mode:

  –

Port Fast for eliminating the forwarding delay by enabling a port to immediately change from 
the blocking state to the forwarding state

  –

BPDU guard for shutting down Port Fast-enabled ports that receive bridge protocol data units 
(BPDUs)

  –

BPDU filtering for preventing a Port Fast-enabled port from sending or receiving BPDUs

  –

Root guard for preventing switches outside the network core from becoming the spanning-tree 
root

  –

Loop guard for preventing alternate or root ports from becoming designated ports because of a 
failure that leads to a unidirectional link
