Cisco Catalyst Switch Modules 3110G and 3110X for IBM BladeCenter
8
Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) for multicast routing within the network, allowing for devices
z
in the network to receive the multicast feed requested and for switches not participating in the
multicast to be pruned. Includes support for PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM), PIM dense mode
(PIM-DM), and PIM sparse-dense mode (IP services feature set is required).
Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) for connecting multiple PIM-SM domains (IP
z
services feature set is required).
Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) tunneling for interconnecting two
z
multicast-enabled networks across nonmulticast networks (an IP services feature set is required).
DHCP relay for forwarding UDP broadcasts, including IP address requests, from DHCP clients.
z
IPv6 support:
z
IPv6 host support (IPv6 unicast addressing, IPv6 traffic processing, IPv6 applications support
z
including DNS, ping, traceroute, telnet, ftp, tftp, http, and ssh). IPv6 traffic forwarding is not
supported. IPv6 host support is incorporated into an IP Base software feature set that comes
standard with this switch module.
IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence. The switch module supports dual IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks
z
to provide seamless step-by-step migration to an IPv6 environment.
IPv6 unicast routing capability (IPv6 traffic forwarding, static routes, RIP, and OSPF) for
z
forwarding IPv6 traffic through configured interfaces (an advanced IP services feature set is
required).
Support for EIGRP IPv6, which utilizes IPv6 transport, communicates with IPv6 peers, and
z
advertises IPv6 routes (an advanced IP services feature set is required).
Support for IPv6 Access Control Lists (ACLs) (an advanced IP services feature set is
z
required).
IP unicast reverse path forwarding (unicast RPF) for confirming source packet IP addresses.
z
Nonstop forwarding (NSF) awareness to enable the Layer 3 switch to continue forwarding
z
packets from an NSF-capable neighboring router when the primary route processor (RP) is failing
and the backup RP is taking over, or when the primary RP is manually reloaded for a
nondisruptive software upgrade (an IP services feature set is required).
NSF-capable routing for OSPF and EIGRP that allows the switch to rebuild routing tables based
z
on information from NSF-aware and NSF-capable neighbors (an IP services feature set is
required).
Monitoring
z
Switch LEDs that provide visual port, switch, and stack-level status.
z
SPAN/RSPAN support for local and remote monitoring of the network.
z
Four groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events) of embedded remote monitoring (RMON)
z
agents for network monitoring and traffic analysis.
MAC address notification for tracking the MAC addresses that the switch has learned or removed.
z
Syslog facility for logging system messages about authentication or authorization errors, resource
z
issues, and time-out events.
Layer 2 trace route to identify the physical path that a packet takes from a source device to a
z
destination device.
Time Domain Reflector (TDR) to diagnose and resolve cabling problems on 10/100 and
z
10/100/1000 copper Ethernet ports.
Online diagnostics to test the hardware functionality of the supervisor engine, modules, and
z
switch while the switch is connected to a live network.
