Catalyst 2360 Switch Software Configuration Guide
OL-19808-01
Chapter 1 Overview
Features
•
Switch clustering technology for
–
Unified configuration, monitoring, authentication, and software upgrade of multiple,
cluster-capable switches, regardless of their geographic proximity and interconnection media,
including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Fast EtherChannel, Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit EtherChannel,
10-Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit EtherChannel connections. For a list of cluster-capable
switches, see the release notes.
–
Automatic discovery of candidate switches and creation of clusters of up to 16 switches that can
be managed through a single IP address.
–
Extended discovery of cluster candidates that are not directly connected to the command switch.
Performance Features
•
Autosensing of port speed and autonegotiation of duplex mode on all switch ports to optimize
bandwidth
•
Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) capability on 10/100/1000-Mb/s
interfaces and on 10/100/1000 BASE-TX small form-format pluggable (SFP) module interfaces that
enables the interface to automatically detect the required cable connection type (straight-through or
crossover) and to configure the connection appropriately
•
SFP+ support for 10 Gigabit speeds
•
Support for up to 9216 bytes [the maximum packet size or maximum transmission unit (MTU) size]
for frames that are bridged in hardware and software through Gigabit Ethernet ports and 10-Gigabit
Ethernet ports
•
802.3x flow control on all ports (The switch does not send pause frames.)
•
EtherChannel for enhanced fault tolerance and to provide up to 4 Gb/s (Gigabit EtherChannel) or
40 Gb/s (10-Gigabit EtherChannel) full-duplex bandwidth among switches, routers, and servers
•
Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) for automatic creation of EtherChannel links
•
Forwarding of Layer 2 packets at Gigabit line rate
•
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping for IGMP Versions 1, 2, and 3. For IGMP
devices, IGMP snooping for efficiently forwarding multimedia and multicast traffic
•
IGMP snooping querier support for configuring switch to generate periodic IGMP general query
messages
•
IGMP Helper to allow the switch to forward a host request to join a multicast stream to a specific
IP destination address
•
IGMP throttling for configuring the action when the maximum number of entries is in the IGMP
forwarding table
•
IGMP leave timer for configuring the network leave latency
•
Configurable small-frame arrival threshold to prevent storm control when small frames (64 bytes or
less) arrive on an interface at a specified rate (the threshold)
