| Layer 2 switching | |
| Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) | Standard 802.1d spanning tree support Fast convergence using 802.1w (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol [RSTP]), enabled by default Multiple spanning tree instances using 802.1s (MSTP); 8 instances are supported |
| VLAN | Support for up to 256 active VLANs simultaneously Port-based and 802.1Q tag-based VLANs Management VLAN Guest VLAN |
| Voice VLAN | Voice traffic is automatically assigned to a voice-specific VLAN and treated with appropriate levels of QoS. Auto voice capabilities deliver networkwide zero-touch deployment of voice endpoints and call control devices |
| IGMP (versions 1, 2, and 3) snooping | Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) limits bandwidth-intensive multicast traffic to only the requesters; supports 4K multicast groups (source-specific multicasting is also supported) |
| HOL blocking | Head-Of-Line (HOL) blocking |
| Loopback detection | Provides protection against loops by transmitting loop protocol packets out of ports on which loop protection has been enabled. It operates independently of STP |
| Layer 3 routing | |
| IPv4 routing | Wire-speed routing of IPv4 packets Up to 32 static routes and up to 16 IP interfaces |
| IPv6 routing | Wire-speed routing of IPv6 packets |
| Layer 3 interface | Configuration of Layer 3 interface on physical port, LAG, VLAN interface, or loopback interface |
| Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) | Support for CIDR |
| DHCP relay at Layer 3 | Relay of DHCP traffic across IP domains |
| User Datagram Protocol (UDP) relay | Relay of broadcast information across Layer 3 domains for application discovery or relaying of bootP/DHCP packets |
| Security | |
| SSL | Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypts all HTTPS traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch |
| Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol | SSH is a secure replacement for Telnet traffic. Secure Copy (SCP) also uses SSH. SSH v1 and v2 are supported |
| IEEE 802.1X (authenticator role) | RADIUS authentication, guest VLAN, single/multiple host mode, and single/multiple sessions |
| Secure Core Technology (SCT) | Ensures that the switch will receive and process management and protocol traffic no matter how much traffic is received |
| Port security | Ability to lock source MAC addresses to ports and limit the number of learned MAC addresses |
| Storm control | Broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast |
| DoS prevention | Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack prevention |
| STP loopback guard | Provides additional protection against Layer 2 forwarding loops (STP loops) |
| Quality of service | |
| Priority levels | 8 hardware queues |
| Scheduling | Strict priority and Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queue assignment based on DSCP and class of service (802.1p/CoS) |
| Class of service | Port based; 802.1p VLAN priority based; IPv4/v6 IP precedence/Type of Service (ToS)/DSCP based; Differentiated Services (DiffServ); classification and re-marking ACLs, trusted QoS |
| Rate limiting | Ingress policer; egress shaping and rate control; per VLAN, per port, and flow based |
| Congestion avoidance | A TCP congestion avoidance algorithm is required to reduce and prevent global TCP loss synchronization |
| Standards | |
