Chapter 1 Overview
Features
Ease-of-Deployment and Ease-of-Use Features
• Express Setup for quickly configuring a switch for the first time with basic IP information, contact
information, switch and Telnet passwords, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
information through a browser-based program. For more information about Express Setup, see the
getting started guide.
•
User-defined and Cisco-default Smartports macros for creating custom switch configurations for
simplified deployment across the network.
• An embedded device manager GUI for configuring and monitoring a single switch through a web
browser. For information about launching the device manager, see the getting started guide. For more
information about the device manager, see the switch online help.
•
Cisco Network Assistant (hereafter referred to as Network Assistant ) for
– Managing communities, which are device groups like clusters, except that they can contain
routers and access points and can be made more secure.
–
Simplifying and minimizing switch, switch stack, and switch cluster management from
anywhere in your intranet.
– Accomplishing multiple configuration tasks from a single graphical interface without needing
to remember command-line interface (CLI) commands to accomplish specific tasks.
–
Interactive guide mode that guides you in configuring complex features such as VLANs, ACLs,
and quality of service (QoS).
– Configuration wizards that prompt you to provide only the minimum required information to
configure complex features such as QoS priorities for traffic, priority levels for data
applications, and security.
–
Downloading an image to a switch.
– Applying actions to multiple ports and multiple switches at the same time, such as VLAN and
QoS settings, inventory and statistic reports, link- and switch-level monitoring and
troubleshooting, and multiple switch software upgrades.
–
Viewing a topology of interconnected devices to identify existing switch clusters and eligible
switches that can join a cluster and to identify link information between switches.
– Monitoring real-time status of a switch or multiple switches from the LEDs on the front-panel
images. The system, redundant power system (RPS), and port LED colors on the images are
similar to those used on the physical LEDs.
Note The Network Assistant must be downloaded from cisco.com/go/cna .
– Connecting up to nine switches through their stack ports and operating as a single switch or
switch-router in the network.
–
Creating a bidirectional 32-Gb/s switching fabric across the switch stack, where all stack
members have full access to the system bandwidth.
– Using a single IP address and configuration file to manage the entire switch stack.
–
Automatic Cisco IOS version-check of new stack members with the option to automatically load
images from the stack master or from a TFTP server.
– Adding, removing, and replacing switches in the stack without disrupting the operation of the
stack.
