●
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 [BGPv4]) are supported
for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs. 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

.
●
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.
●
The DHCP Server feature enables a convenient deployment option for the assignment of
IP addresses in networks that do not have a dedicated DHCP server.
Bandwidth Optimization
●
Voice VLAN allows network administrators to assign voice traffic to a VLAN dedicated to IP
telephony, simplifying phone installations and providing easier network traffic administration
and troubleshooting.
